I disagree. The usual CD holds about one hour of music. You can't jog with a CD player. An MP3 player is much more compact. In order to record CD's, you have to get a CD burner. The CD burner can't also be used to listen to the music, much less be carried around with you. The MP3 players now come with an extra 32 megs of removable flash memory for another 30+ minutes of music. 100MB chips are becoming available. And if you have ADSL or a cable modem then the downloads should be quick. Plus the new Rio 500 uses the USB port for downloads which is quicker than the the parallel port. Flash memory may well be the next revolution in recorded music making the CD obsolete. Imagine sticking a tiny chip into you dashboard radio for MP3 playbacks. No need for an extra CD player I'm broke & depressed. I need a pickup. So this work daddy is ordering the new Rio 500. That way I can make more informed postings to SI. All of this is so new that no one really seems to be an expert. But if S3 drops below 10, I'm out of here.
