Bad Idea. Purely for pyschological reasons. If you train with "workout
tunes", this could (in theory) hinder your performance in races and/or
more competitive group rides. Personally, I don't want to get used to the
music fueling my workouts since I may come to depend on it.
However, on very slow, long (and dreary) solo rides on the bike path, or
a stationary, I may ride with my iPod. Without the concern for cars,
I think this is okay.
As far as mp3 vs. minidisc, go with an mp3 player. I think MD's will soon be
obsolete, and mp3 players have more to offer.
Regards.
