Hello Urlman,

>RIO MP3 Walman by Diamond Multimedia but instead with ram files???

Yep ... it's very possible and done. But this is a bigger issue. I think that Real made a big error when they decided not to support MP3. MP3 is a huge market and going crazy. This is the classic situation where politics entered into the equation. The record companies are against MP3, so Real wants these customers and so they reject MP3 ... even though MP3 is going to continue to be huge.

I'm still long RNWK (in at $14.25) but I still this this was a very poor decision.
