Although your questions as of late have become rhetorical I will respond none the less. Near-CD = MP3 @ 128kb @ 44khz. You know this. The Nomad has 64MB & given MP3 compression, that constitutes about 2 hours of music storage, just as the 32MB Rio can hold roughly 1 hour. Here's the math: With MP3 @ "near-cd", 32MB = 1 hour, therfore 2x32MB (64mb) = 2 hours Has EDIG/Lucent actually released how much memory it will contain? I don't think so. As such, we could be talking microdrive (340mb) which would equal more than 10 hours of music given EPAC. Passed 1 or 2 hours of music, it may not matter in the long run. By the time online distribution is adopted, none of these players will likely be limited to 64mb unless it's for the companies profit margins. And by that time, everyone will have an Intel/EDIG Music Box....you hook it up to your cable or DSL access, browse the music selector "box", hit a button, and you now have the music on your audio-phile system...all via the Intel/EDIG solution (hehehehe).
