Will Winamp play MP3 on a 486?

Yes it will. You will probably need to change some options to get it to play well.

Perhaps more importantly go to Options / Preferences and select Input in the left window and then select Nullsoft MPEG audio decoder in the right window and press the Configure button.

Can I copy my MP3 files to a CDR disk and play them that way?

Xorys' MP3 FAQ
You can copy your MP3 files directly, without conversion, to a data CD, and that way you will get somewhere between 7 and 11 hours of music on a CD (depending on the bitrate of your MP3 files)... but you can't play such a CD in an audio CD player, however you can play it in a computer, using Winamp or whatever, and now a couple of different companies have come up with portable players to play such CDs - I just read a review of a new one, but I forget the name (sorry)..

But can I use Minidiscs to hold actual MP3 or other computer files?

Minidisc Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the Hi-MD format allows you to use your Hi-MD recorder as 1GB external USB drive. Prior to Hi-MD, [std-MD] audio MDs were not capable of holding computer data. A now-obsolete branch of std-Minidisc, called MD Data, was capable of holding 140MB of data per disc (functioning much like a Zip or floppy disk, but using Minidisc technology). MD Data discs were not compatible with std-MD audio discs. You can read about the old MD Data units in the Equipment Browser. See similar questions...

Can I use mp3 files as soundtracks for my Videodelic projects?

Frequently Asked Questions
Not directly. But QuickTime 4 makes it possible to convert mp3 files into files that can be used as soundtracks by Videodelic (in the Montage Room). The reason is simple. While mp3 files take up very little hard disk space, they are CPU-intensive to decode. Therefore they are not suitable for using directly with Videodelic. You can use the QuickTime player (and many freeware utilities) to convert mp3 files into AIFF files. Videodelic uses 16-bit, 44. See similar questions...
