UPDATE: my new portable CD player, doesn't merely rip CDs, it records them.

The end result in one large file .mp3 file encoded at 160kbps.

Now I actually prefer recording to mere ripping and I'll tell you why: this CD player also comes with an FM radio. Which means I can record music off the radio too!

That is a crazy amazing feature for a CD player that cost just C$60.

As for the big giant file with no info except the filename? I can just split that up in Audacity and edit the metadata later.

Sure, I would have preferred .wav files but they're huge. Even .flac and .alac, though smaller than .wav, are big.

Nevertheless, to me, this is just a bonus. A big bonus, mind you but not the reason I purchased the CD player.

Still, if you want a cheap way to record CDs and FM radio, the Klim Discover is your ticket.

Oh yeah, and for those wondering, 64GB micro-SD works with this, so that's plenty of room for .mp3 files.
