Thanks John,
If the thread takes off great, if it doesn't great. I am going to start using it to park links.

Hooked it up, now I can listen to MP3's on my car stereo.
I believe 100% that the distribution of music will be via the Internet. I give it 3-5 years as we need the high speed Internet access. Cable and telephone lines are in every home in Canada and USA, but large portions need to be upgraded to handle high speed Internet access. The average size of an MP3 or MP4 file is 3-4 megs. On cable I can download one of these in 20-30 seconds.
The record industry better not discount MP3 as it still poses a threat. MP3 is not as good as a CD, but just as Beta and VHS, Beta was superior, but VHS won. MP3 is free, so the music industry has to be "open minded" and develop a downloadable (copy protected) file that can be installed and played on your computer, home stereo, portable and car stereo.
Other exciting things for MP3:

Click on MP3. You will soon be able to download novels, news, poetry, self improvement and many other titles that were available in print or on cassette.
I'm trying to keep on top of it, but it's changing daily.
BTW,
Once you buy a CDR, you will wonder how you managed without one.
What is MP3?
