Ok, i'm going travelling round Asia round in 8 weeks and need some music, last time i took a tape walkman but i want something smaller with more storage capacity. Either minidisc or mp3. Not bothered what it looks like or whether its secondhand but really want to avoid using a computer if i can, had mp3 player once but had loads of probs, most tracks i want i have on cd anyway. Would like player that records cd's straightfrom hi-fi but don't have a clue what models will do that. Price range from
