DRIV signs another MP3 contract, looks like DRIV is fast becoming a leader in electronic music download: biz.yahoo.com Consumers create their own CDs using the web, DRIV sells the software for download to use the technology. Will be available later this month. I just checked out he Microboards website, very cool. $399 for a writeable CD and all the software to begin downloading and recording MP3 online. They're based in MN. Anyone know if this is in the same price range as normal MP3 recording equipment? I just may try it out:)
