An MP3 player is just like a walkman, except that it plays MP3 files instead of
audio CDs. An MP3 player will either be flash-based or hard drive based. Flash
based uses flash memory (smaller MP3 players of 128MB, 512MB, 1GB, etc). Hard
drive based uses mini hard drives (like the iPod). Flash drives hold less but
are smaller. Hard drives hold a lot more, but are larger. And, more fragile.
Some CD walkmans players will play MP3 files. All that means is that you would
make a CD with MP3 files, and the CD walkman would be able to play it. But,
this would be a DATA CD, not an AUDIO CD. You can get more MP3 files onto a CD
than you can get AUDIO if you were making an AUDIO CD.
Now... you didn't really make the question clear. But, I think you're trying to
ask how you can listen to those talk shows without your computer. If I'm wrong,
please correct me.
The simple way is to get an MP3 player (they can be purchased very cheap
nowadays) and just transfer the MP3 files to the MP3 player. After listening to
them, you remove the files and refill with new shows.
If you have a CD player or walkman that plays MP3 files, you can do like I
mentioned above. Make a DATA CD and just play it in the player.
I do the same thing you're inquiring about (or that I think you are inquiring
about). I subscribe to podcasts (which are basically archived audio shows
delivered to me) and then I place them onto my MP3 player to listen to it
during my boring hours.
Any questions?

Hi Folks,
OK,,, this will prove I don't know much about anything. But, this is my
question.
I listen to a talk show on my computer. I can download some of these
programs and listen to them off line, (I think). I haven't tried that,
because I'm on cable, so I'm always on, but I think I can do that.
Tonight, I downloaded 3 programs that were MP3. I tried to write the
programs to a CD, but that didn't work. I'm not sure what an MP3 player
is, but is that what I need to be able to listen to these radio programs
in the car, or anywhere away from my computer. I hope somebody
understands what I just said.
I know I have a lot to learn... But, Thank you for your help.....
Rita
