I just bought a JVC KD-S890 MP3/CD player which is my first MP3 player, and it is awesome. .Someone told me it's not worth buying a MP3 player because the sound quality is not the same as a regular CD. I compared the two and I could'nt hear a difference betwen the MP3 CD and a regualr CD. I have over 5 hrs on the MP3 CD which each track was downloaded with a 128 bitrate, and it played perfect....I definitely would recommend a MP3 player
