PX,
<There are a couple of advantages of CDs stored centrally on a PC.>
Interesting use of the word "couple" <g>. It is nice, useful, way cool, and all that.
It is also nothing more than an early test run of a new distribution system for entertainment content. A highly efficient one at that.
Call me a "Luddite" but I worry about where all the people are going to work when they are replaced by efficiencies.
Anyway, again we are talking about an entertainment function. If you have noticed, a large part of the current marketing campaigns for Gateway and Compaq are focused almost exclusively on the computer as a portal for entertainment content.
This is very interesting to me. If you begin to view your computer, stereo, TV, and newspaper as components of a home network and mobile phones, pagers, and personal stereos as extensions of the same network, you will see where my interests are.
mp3 cool but no paradigm buster. Just a tool,
