Trippi, " There is also the reality ofdownload time -- MPEG3 can take 20 to 30 miuntes to download a single title -- EPAC takes 6 to 8 minutes." So this does imply a significant difference in compression: 3-4 times. Is this true? - this would certainly represent a significant advantage in the initial marketing of the player. "The other component will be the ability of the device to be used in non-PC or handheld environs -- for example the Lucent/TI/EDIG device may come with an FM transmitter the signal of which will be picked up by your car's radio system." I agree that the other features apart from music quality/compression may be what ultimately makes a given company become a winner in this market. Stock roaring up this morning :)
