At this point I don't own a portable MP3 player.  However, I might need one soon
to replace a portable tape player that my wife uses when she walks.  The tape is
times to run 30 minutes on a side.

I need to burn this tape to a Cd as it is one that I mastered.  Yes, I have the
'master" and a copy. 

Placing this on one of those small MP3 players would lighten her load both in
eight and size.
