Oh, no.  It's quite speedy compared to the drudgery of writing CDRs...no 
comparison.  But when you see rioload's command line "finish" and the 
Rio's still processing, seconds can drag out.  A good script that could 
accommodate the time lag and let you walk away with confidence would be 
a serious boon.

Rio (I keep calling it that; it's actually SonicBlue now) has resisted 
the relentless pressure from RIAA since day one.  Last time I checked 
(which would be when I bought mine) they were the only major digital 
music player manufacturer that refused to go after the open source 
reverse engineers.

Something to think about when you're weighing the 
bang-for-buck-with-philosophy decision.
