"The music industry better be careful. MP3 could hit them hard in the pocket book." I don't know anything about the music scene today (I just know what I like), but it sounds to me like this isn't a made-to-order rip-off scheme, it's another distribution channel. If you bought a Zip disk for $7, and recorded $9 worth of the songs you like from the net (assuming that you could get about a CD's worth of songs for $9), you've got a CD (OK, a Zip-CD) with no klunkers in it for approximately the same cost as a ready-made one. Or, even if the whole thing cost more than a regular CD, it might be worth it, because you would have just what you like. Now all we need is a decompression chip in a Zip (or clik) drive to output stuff directly to a home audio system, w/o the computer intermediary. I'm sure the stuff is out there, it may even be put together now. Cameron "Support bacteria - they're the only culture some people have."
