  How many years before MP3 becomes king?
I was reading about one unit that plays CD's pretty decent, but also stores 300 hours of 128 bit music. It has every type input and output imaginable and could be the world's greatest jukebox.

Sound quality was compared to early CD's played on first generation CDP's. The author wouldn't predict how many years (months) it will take for enough bandwidth and other factors to happen for the MP3 to musically surpass even SACD and DVD-A.

05-19-04: Ketchup
if you're capable of reading this thread you probably already have a pc that can do everything that mp3 player can do, provided you also download 1 or 2 free programs.

$800 dollars is INSANE for a Celeron processor and a 20 GB hard drive. Read further and you will see that they charge you $400.00 for an additional 10 GB. That's criminal! Hard drive space is currently 50cents per GB, not 40 dollars! jeez!

i think the player is geared toward computer illiterate folk who dont realize that its highway robbery.

it also sucks that it wont play the most popular types of lossless compression: flac and shn.
