Yes, your Diamond Rio (soon to be defunct) handles file management just fine for one codec and no DRM.

Why will my Diamond RIO ever be defunct as you say? It will always perform exactly as it did when I bought it. Well if I drop it from my bicycle many more times you might be right... ;)

Believe me, I understand the industry and where it is headed. I understand that superior codecs will come along, although I have not heard one yet. I understand that the music sellers, and to a lesser extent the artists are looking to watermarking etc to protect their copyrighted material.

I think I can answer why the consumer would want something other than mp3 in their device... BECAUSE NONE OF THE MAJOR MUSIC LABELS WILL BE ENCODING THEIR MUSIC WITH THIS CODEC.

I think I can refute this answer with a simple argument. NONE OF THE MAJOR MUSIC LABELS ARE ENCODING THEIR MUSIC WITH THIS CODEC EVEN NOW. But people still favour mp3. Gosh, I hate all caps.. ;) Ironic isn't it?
