That's exactly why the Rio doesn't really have a chance at even presenting a
threat to MD. It's the lack of real-time recording capability. You can't go
out and record a live gig with it, and you sure as hell can't quickly record
a song playing on the radio or whatnot. It is not real-time and that's where
Diamond's pants fall down to their ankles and get laughed at.
Nice metaphor, eh? 3#-)

I think unless some briliant company builds a MP3 recorder (ie, a fast
computer
that is able to compress a CD in realtime) for 'charging' the MP3 player,
MP3
will be the format for computer-geeks and not the mainstream costumer!
