I like your idea. The only way I can see it working would be that the user would have to have an MP3 player and AOL would have to promote it along with the music site which could be any site actually. As you suspected the key is a moble player like the Rio. It sounds a bit far fetched, but yhis is a new kind of world we live in where communication is king.

This is from a savvy 19 y/o techie here (my son) who really knows MP3 stuff: To download a 60 minutes of MP3's takes ALL night at 56K (about 10 hours of download for 60 mins of playing time). I know this cuz when he's downloading at home on the 56K our home computer bogs down bigtime! Using his T1 line at college it takes 10 minutes to get 60 mins of music (when all the students are sleeping and NOT online). For died-in-the-wool Mp3 users the Rio doesn't have enough memory.... is the maximum just 64 mg of memory for the Rio? This is what it takes to download MP3's.... a lotta bandwidth! wogger
