Yikes! So what about "SDMI-Compliant CDs"? Does that mean they'll only be able to be 
ripped analog?
Or does it mean they'll only play in one CD player? j/k It shouldn't be too hard to 
make a bitwise copy of a CD though... Should it?
If I was going portable, I'd much rather try the standard portable MP3 players... 
That's if they'll play bitrates like 224kBit/sec. For the car, I'll stick w/ the ol' 
pentium laptop for now :-)
Do the Minidisc players skip like CDs, or do they have a significant read-ahead or 
otherwise to get around this?
