My local electronics store (Dixons) is offering the Thomson PDP 2860 U Lyra AV Jukebox which is a handheld media player (with a LCD screen), for only £300. This offer is for a limited period only, & I would end up saving around £200. Seeming as I was going to buy a handheld media player (at some point) anyway I thought this was quite a good offer.
But I have a problem, I mainly use SD Cards (because I have a Bug DAB Digital Radio). The problem is the Thomson PDP 2860 U Lyra AV Jukebox uses Compact Flash (CF) cards, NOT SD Cards. I have all my MP3s & other media on SD Cards, plus the laptop I'm using only has a memory card reader for Sony Memory Sticks (MS), SD Cards & MultiMedia (MMC) Cards, it DOES NOT READ OR WRITE TO COMPACT FLASH (CF) Cards.
I have found a product at Widget UK, it is a Compact Flash to SD Card adaptor. But it says it is not recommended for use in devices that have a closable slot, which unfortunately the Thomson PDP 2860 U Lyra AV Jukebox does (I think)!
Has anyone got any suggestions or ideas? I'm stumped!
Please help (if you can)!
