RE MP3's. I think th music business is simply crying wolf over the mp3's. Yes you and I and other people who have a significant amount of computer expertise and time can wait and wait to download mp3's from internet servers (most people don't have adsl or cable; as a matter of fact the majority of canadians don't have internet home access I believe). Sure. But most people have little knowledge re navigating win95/98 or mac 8.0 or 8.5 (like setting their blinking 12:00 on the videomachine), let alone trying to figure out how to gt a single track or multiple tracks in mp3 form. Then figuring out what kind of application to download to listen to the damn things. And for now you're pretty much restricted to listening to mp3's on your computer speakers.

For the average consumer this is not going to work whatsoever. CD's are going to be around for a while to come. I think mp3's will simply function as another music vehicle, right along CD's and cassettes. IMHO (of course).

IMO if and when the contours of the deal between cdplus and sbx become less hazy and more sure, SBX is going to be worth several dollars ($6.00?). And this can happen pretty quickly too.
