Hi,
in a discussion with an elderly friend he expressed a 'need' for a gadget he could use on vacation to rip a music CD to a Compact Flash or some other memory card without having to use a PC. I exclaimed "in China, they build *everything*!", but a Google search later didn't turn up anything...
Is there such a thing out there?

All I found was this, from more than 3 years ago. The links provided in the article are dead, but I did find this page on a company's site, of a different name. Just scroll down till you get to Invion Micoder. Seems the product is still "coming soon". |

The Philips AZ 1880 player is not as small, but could actually be bought, and can rip CDs to USB sticks. Wouldn't that be a possibility, using some CF or SD card in a USB adaptor? |

Then there's the quite expensive Kenwood CLX-70 which seems to support direct ripping to SD cards and USB.  |

Also a bit more expensive (and less portable) than the Philips is the Kenwood M-505 USB:  |

I have the TEAC MC-D610MP, (bookshelf stereo system - not available anymore), which could rip to MP3 on a USB Flash drive or SD/MMC card. One for sale in the ACT, (Australian Capital Territory), for $5 atm. |

Thanks guys! The Philips AZ 1880 player is not as small, but could actually be bought, and can rip CDs to USB sticks.
Wouldn't that be a possibility, using some CF or SD card in a USB adaptor?
Could anyone (who knows more about this kind of adaptors than I do) please comment my assessment? |

It depends, I have an adapter, (for Sony Memory Stick), where a driver needs to be loaded - which is no good in your case.
However, some don't require a driver, IIRC, one of the earlier Lexar Jumpdrive series took SD cards and appeared as a normal flash drive - this is the kind you need.
If you can find a decent computer store that will let you try, (or one with knowledgable staff), it would help.
