cd's ... micro hi fi's .. ipods .. technology ... HELP !!!

pennymakespounds

totally "un-techie" so please be gentle !!

main thing is .....i love music and spend lots of time listening to cd's on a sony micro hi-fi system which is getting worn out .

i've just started managing to use my pc to sometimes copy a cd so i can have extra copy in my car.

Went to a couple of stores this morning to look at a new ?? £100 to £150??
"decent" micro hi-fi system ... wasn't that many ..

seemed to be more about "things to dock ipods" ... and philips wireless systems that did that and more .. which sounded a good idea !.

i was also thinking it would be good to be able to have it playing in kitchen and upstairs in bedroom sometimes ( live on my own) .....

sooo.... makes me think.. should i be learning about "ipods" ??.. is this what i should be doing instead of having and copying cd's ... ( particularly when i'd like to just have the tracks i like ) .....

and having everything on an ipod .. instead of loads of discs ?? ... also.. don't know a thing about "downloading" ....

don't know first thing about how easy / hard it is to get all my cd's onto an ipod in first instance ?? ....

HELP !!

Wonder if there Is websites that do a really simple "idiots guide" to all this ..

thanks ,

You're not alone there! I'm not very techie either.

I know Asda are doing a Philips micro cd system at the moment for about £40 (I got one it's ok). It's also a radio tuner and you can connect and play an MP3 player through it as well. It's a wired rather than wireless system anyway. Might be worth a look.

I tend to have a music library (from cds) on computer and transfer tunes onto mp3 player (Asda cheapie) then play it thru' the Philips system upstairs.
