Portable audio player become more and more common in our life nowadays. CD-player, cassette player, radio, mp3 player and mini-disc player are some of the well-known portable audio player today. Among these portable audio player, MP3 and mini-disc (or simply MD) player are the most advance in today portable audio technology. MP3 is actually a music file of computer. The name of MP3 came from the extension name of this music file. MD player is like a CD player, except that disc for MD player is smaller and it can store the same amount of song as a CD. Both of this players have a lot of differences but there are both expensive in price. Therefore, it's seemed very unlikely a person will own both of these portable players.

After all, if you had the money for something that big you could just buy a really nice MD and a really nice MP3 player. On the other hand, MDs are full-sized (in terms of storage capacity) CDs.
