Thread: Napa DAV-310 MP3 Video CD player

Most MP3 players rely on expensive flash memory to store files, so you'll need a lot of money to upgrade to 64MB or higher and to be able to listen to more than about an hour of music at a time. For a little over a hundred pounds, you can buy an entry level 32MB player that uses flash memory, or you can buy the new Napa DAV-310.



The A-Max Napa player represents a cost-effective approach, by using CD as the storage medium for MP3 files, and it also plays audio CDs and VideoCDs into the bargain, representing good value for money at entry level.

Of course, a CD writer is necessary to save your collection to CD in the first place, but these are becoming commonplace and are often supplied with retail PC systems, while the cost of CD-R media is negligible. One CD will hold around 10 hours of high quality MP3 music, at a media cost of around 75p.
