Greg,
Probably not. But once you buy an MP3 player, you may find you want to use it off the bike as well. Some people connect them to their sound systems or their computers to use as a music source. I was just pointing out that the bitrate determines the size of each file and also the quality of the recording. You can record them in mono at a tiny bitrate and get oodles of songs but they'll sound like crap.......
And there is another feature to look for when buying portable cd players - it is a buffer memory. This is a feature that actually reads ahead on the cd, so if the player gets bumped or jarred the player reads from memory so the music isn't interupted...
