A 700MB CD can hold roughly 5-12 hours of MP3 songs depending on the compression ratio. A typical 30 minute commute will only allow you to listen to a finite number of songs. Now factor in the number of crappy songs, and the number of good songs you own/have and the MP3 CD isn't a terrible solution. I can't even fill an entire CD with MP3s that I like. The Shaker 500/1000 has an integrated 6 disc changer, so you can get about 35-84 hours worth of MP3 songs total.

that's a funny question... lets do some math... an mp3cd is about 700mb which holds about 100 7mb 320kbps mp3s. My ipod is 30gigs or roughly 30,000mb which can hold about 4200 7mb 320kbps mp3s - that would be equivalent to your 42 cds to match my 1 ipod. i would prefer that over having to fumble with cds.

With the MP3 player, and the ability to put 100-130 songs per Cd, and 6 Cds at a time thats 700 songs or better. I've never owned an Ipod but I don't understand the need for one with MP3CD's

yes true u can but it is a bitch trying to find the one song u are trying to listen to on a mp3 cd.. you have to find the right folder and song while you should be focusing on the road..i made 2 mp3cds and ive already thrown em out
