Yogi, <<In, what, a couple of years you will have a rewriteable cd the size of a half dollar that can store an entire week of your choice of music.>> So what...I should wait? Whatever happened to good, old fashion, instant gratification. <<It's sort of a wierd thin client/fat client type of disagreement>> Hey dude. No reason to get personal! <GGGG> By the way...I do agree with your prognostication that something will step into the breach here. The copyright holders are really driven crazy by MP3. Can't say that I blame them. Best, Stitch
