No doubt you know what an MP3 is, those little files with big sound. Now very popular for their low-low cost (nothing) and their somwhat high-quality reporduction of sound, MP3 players have arisen onto the Macintosh platform. Our new choices are great, but their not cheap.

The Mac-compatible RioPort500 on my left, costs about $260. Now this is a great deal for a MP3 player, you get 1 full hour of digital recording. But that's all. One hour. And unless you're willing to spend another $100 for a 32meg flash card, you're going to stay at one hour of muisc, forever.

Now that's not too bad if you have only an hour of music, but technology is changing. Soon, there will probably be another format, and quite frankly, the Rio won't be able to handle it.

So, you still want to play MP3's on the go? Well, we'll show you how to do it for CHEAP with just a MD Recorder, and a cable. MacMD has teamed up with The Mac-OS Page, to bring you the ultimate MP3-to-MD recording guide for the MAC!

Thank you very much to the guys at The Mac-OS Page for letting us use your tutorial!

Wait! There's more!
