Pt II from Raging Bull: "..All the new hand held players supporting the SDMI specifications will be in the market this Christmas. I would think that Phase 1 (all formats supported) would last a year or two. You might find more authoritive information tomorrow in the SDMI announcement (assuming there is one - it was SUPPOSED to be today!), or at their website, sdmi.org. I believe though, that most "new" music produced from this point on, will NOT be in MP3. It will be in Lucent's EPAC format or maybe MP4 (which is secure) or a few others. Thus, only existing MP3 music (and that done by "minor" artists or "for charity") will be in that format. I would play the "pop" of the MP3 IPO, maybe ride it a little, maybe not, and then take profits. Just MHO. Hope that helps... Todd/Sentinel"
