All you Digital Jammers heard tonight that the major record labels are set to announce tomorrow that an accord has been reached to sell their music over the internet in MP3 format. And a major push will be made to make it widely available by X'mas. Next year they will add encryption to prevent piracy. This has to be good for the Rio, right? I'm new to MP3, but it looks like mostly schlock is available now. Also in checking out the competition, I found no MP3 player on the Sony website. And the great thing about it is that the new Rio player will be tax deductible. I'm doing investment research, capiche! Plus I have ADSL so the downloads will be fast.

How many companies are making MP3 players, portable or for at home use, with flash memory storage like the Rio? It appears most require you to copy to a CD for playback which is an extra step. Does the Rio or anyone have a home MP3 player that you can plug into your stereo receiver? Please advise. May buy some more SIII because with the info. I have now DIMD is clearly the technological leader in a whole new industry.
