Thanks bob, good post.

I agree that on a consumer level the Rio doesn't have a future. It never did really. I mean that to a consumer who wants to download DMAT or some other sort of DRM... For the consumer who wants to purchase digital music online that is.

Which, since you cant *really* do this as of today, means that my RIO isn't really obsolete.

In reality, I bought my RIO to play some of the plethora of music available in mp3 format. I am not talking about pirated music, or even music copied from CDs for the most part. Personally I am interested in the digital musical underground.

I think this is a common position of people who own RIOs. Either that, or they like to copy their CD tracks for when they go jogging or whatever, like you would make a tape.

So, for what I use it for it is far from obsolete.

But it is technically challenging, and not really friendly to the average consumer who is still waiting for digital music to find it's established format before diving into the water so to speak.

We are just looking at it from two different vantage points.

anywho...
