Minidisc players any good or MP3 player better?

[jman01pa]

I picked up a Sony mz-nf610 MD player today for $89.00 dollars at Target on clearance. The price is fantastic but not sure if I need it. Amazon has it for $179.99.

I orignally went looking for a something to replace my sony sport FM only walkman and was considering and MP3 Player until I saw this. This also has AM/FM/TV/Weather as well. I havent ascutally tried it yet other than the radio portion because I am still at work and unsure if i want to take it back or not.

Is it worth keeping or should I go for MP3 player? I have no experience with either.

WoW! i would keep that, unless you want a ultra-slim/mini mp3 player. Never seen better price.

If you havn't tried an mp3 player then it won't seem very diffucult to use, since mp3 players are more simple and more use-friendly

[edit]

just finished reading the reviews on amazon and i think its good enough for a first time user. There is a slight quality difference in sound quality, md being better, but a normal person wouldn't notice the difference (like me :P)

I say go for the MD unit. Can't go wrong. However, if you're got the money for a Nomad Zen or an ipod, I'd definitely take that over the MD.
