New Philips eXpanium Will Use 3" CDs

SpunOne writes: "Phillips is gearing up to release their new eXpanium mp3 player. Unlike most players in the past that use proprietary storage technology, Phillips is turning to the use of those cute little 3 inch CDs that have been around forever, but never really used for much. Apparently most existing CD burners can already write to them, and the rest can do so with an adapter. Phillips even has a beta test available if you're interested in giving it a try." If you should get into the beta group (50 people), why not write up a report for us on this little device? If it only played .ogg files, I would try to pre-order from somewhere.

  1. Stop with the Ogg shit, PLEASE! by duffbeer703 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Look, nobody really cares about Ogg Vorbis. It may be free and may be non-patented, but it is too late to market to become anything of any use.

    It is so sickening to listen to this horseshit.
