You can get just about every Grateful Dead concert ever played in
FLAC format. A friend of mine has a vertical file full of CD's and
even wrote his own FLAC decoder to

What about RockBox? (RockBox is third-party FOSS firmware for many

to indicate it might work.

In reply to Ben's message about ripping to FLAC and then converting to
other formats, I believe that is what I am going to do. I'll rip to FLAC
and store the results on one of my PCs or possibly even burn them to

Not that anyone really cares what I'm doing, but until this Alcatel

So, looks like I'll be spending the next couple of weeks re-ripping the
hundreds of CDs in my collection.
