Ive just got a tax rebate...
- Thread starter Biscuit
- Start date
I was quite impressed with my recent tax rebate. After having 3 jobs in the last tax year (Amex, Army, Comet) the Inland Revenue actually wrote to me and suggested that they think they might owe me money. I sent a form back to them explaining the dates of my employment, and the amount earnt from each.
A month later, a nice cheque for £750. Bargain.
Unfortunately, I just had to use it to pay off my overdraft. =/

I got a really nice MP3 player for 100 quid, it's a Phillips one and it holds 128MB (about 4 albums worth)
Also you can transfer files and stuff around on it cos it acts just like a regular removable hard drive. It's really small, too.

Or get yourself a Gameboy SP
You can then get the multimedia adapter £25 and a 512mb Compact Flash Card £60 and play mp3's, digital video etc and all on your games console.
Very nice indeed.

Don't bother with MP3, the sound quality is rubbish!!!
MiniDisc is tolerable despite being worse sounding than CD, but the big advantage is being able to make up decent "tapes" for the MiniDisc player in the car!! Call me old school, but that's the way I like it!!
(And yes, I am a Hi-Fi snob!!)

MP3 sound quality is dependant on the bitrate it's grabbed at. If you dont download crappy bitrate tracks, then you aren't gonna have crappy quality sound.
I've got the Creative MuVo NX..

(and isn't it just as easy to make CDs for your MP3 player in the car that holds 650mb worth?)

I've got minidisc too. Can't really tell the difference between that and a CD on a 'normal' hi-fi, and it's great in the car. I put all my favourite tracks on and never use the CD player any more. And then, when I'm bored of a song, delete it and start all over again.
Personally, I find it easier than dodgy downloading from the web and at least from your own CDS the quality is more consistent.

I have a Sony minidisc and rarely leave home without it - around £100 will buy a good one.
