Another MP3 question

[kiwibird]

As we do not know much about MP3 players etc can anyone give me an idea of how many CD's you would fit on say a 128mb MP3 player.  We want one that can hold around 20 CD's so any recommendations would be really appreciated.

A 128 MB player will hold only about 2 CDs.  At the 10 to 1 ratio you would need 20 x 60 MB = 1200 MB or 1.2 Gig to store 20 CDs.  The little solid state MP3 players don't have the capacity you are looking for.

You can store 10 CDs on a CDR and play it back on a portable cd player that supports MP3. The indexing is really bad though.

Any of the high capacity MP3 players with a hard drive would give you the capacity you are looking for and more. An archos jukebox with 6 GB or an Ipod with 5 GB would give you space for about 100 CDs.  

Or to get it back onto topic of this board you could put in a 20 GB hard drive and a motherboard and build your own jukebox.  I assume though that you were looking at small portable units.
