MP3s without the PC

Having to use the PC as the only way to convert CDs to MP3 files is a real pain. That’s why being able to pop your CD into a bookshelf hi-fi system that also converts them to MP3s, sounds very appealing. Thomson has just announced the RCA 'Rip & Go' Digital Music Studio with a bundled (albeit tiny) 128MB MP3 player. Rca_rip_to_cdThe system rips your CD tracks into MP3 format and transfers them by an in-built USB dock to the MP3 player. Why aren't there lots more of these? It has a 5-CD changer which means you can create your own compilations by ripping tracks from five different CDs. It’s not clear if you can connect any USB-based MP3 player to the hi-fi but if you can, the £100 price tag makes it definitely worth a look. Details here.
