Standby for the super-long-playing CD player. Pine Technology of Hong Kong is
launching a personal stereo that plays compressed MP3 music files stored on a
CD, as well as ordinary CDs. A CD that stores only MP3 files would play for six
times as long as a standard CD. Until now, all MP3 players have stored MP3s in

recordable CD drive to make up their own CDs. Or they can buy ready-made MP3
discs by mail order.
