OT: long - Replacing CD's? was RE: [vorbis] New type of copy-prot ected audio CDs are coming...

Heya fungus,

f> The new breed of mp3 playes - the ones with 6Gb
f> hard disks inside them - will kill minidiscs.
f> They don't cost much more by they have hundreds
f> of times the capacity.

All due respect but they clearly will NOT. Spending 30 seconds
thinking about why people find Minidiscs attractive; extreme
resiliance shock (you can jog with MD players) and a very
small size (many scarcely larger than an MD and not heavy bricks like
the Creative Jukebox).

Neither of those are touched by HD equipped MP3 players. Yet.

f> Now if only we can get them to be .ogg players...

There are some upgradable units. The RioVolt is upgradable allegedly.
(plays mp3 etc off CD).
