Question from a late entrant:: Missed the >$1 and have been buying up since $1.5 thru $2.25. Have now read new releases from RNWK and DIG RVR. How could this affect future prospects for EDIG?

Thomson's LYRA... I found this on CNET: Thomson plans portable digital music player By Erich Luening Staff Writer, CNET News.com May 3, 1999, 3:05 p.m. PT update The maker of RCA home electronic products today jumped into the MP3 digital audio player market with the release of RCA Lyra. Thomson Multimedia, the France-based parent company of the U.S. unit of Thomson Consumer Electronics introduced the new portable digital music player today which plays and records MP3 audio transferred from a personal computer, the company said. RCA Lyra should start shipping in the third quarter. It will be integrated with RealNetworks RealJukebox, which also debuted today and will support the playback of RealAudio G2 programming. Lyra is Latin for "lyre," a small stringed instrument of the harp family. Delivering digital-quality music from a palm-sized electronic device, which is smaller than a cell phone and that reads data from a solid-state CompactFlash card, the new Lyra plays compressed music files organized by your home computer. Lyra features a digital signal processor that allows upgradable software that can support future compression formats. This means that consumers can choose the music-management software and compression format that best meets their needs. I really do NOT know the answer to that... Can't find much information on it. This would be an ideal application for EDIG's MicroOS. They could write their software... BUT, I think they would be ahead by licensing the O/S from EDIG. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help...
