Saw this on another forum and it's a good way of getting new ideas for music you might not have though of otherwise...

Just put your mp3 player onto 'random' and post here the first 10 songs it comes up with (you could also put what player you've got and any pro's / cons about it)

con's: can only get a good case from America and no in-line remote :(

Did not believe this was possible until I saw it.
I have a Audio CD with 814 tracks on it, Is this unusual or common? It impressed me.

Viking > What file format are the tracks? and what size is the cd? (in mb's)

Are they all Napalm Death tracks? :headbang:

No idea it says MP3 on the disk though

if its an mp3 disk then you can have lost of tracks on 1 cd i used to put around 9 albums on a cd, but it will only work in a mp3 player/computer

if its an mp3 disk then you can have lost of tracks on 1 cd i used to put around 9 albums on a cd, but it will only work in a mp3 player/computer

That might explain it then, I have not tried it on a personal stereo.

Dunno what make my MP3 player is, just says MP3 on it!!! (Xmas pressy). It's 512Mb...

2x Dido albums
1x Maroon5 album

Evanesence
A few Limp Bizkit tracks
A couple of Britney Spears tracks (drools)
