I guess I'll wait a few years... Probably not quite that long. When I was in Osaka, I wandered through the Sony tower and saw that they've got 128M memory sticks (interchangeable ram) for their little mp3 player. I also saw elsewhere a little Aiwa that didn't have removable media, but held 128M and were pretty compact. $400. Shoulda bought it, since I've not found that one here. I'm betting about a year to get something reasonable for $300. > In the meantime I did get my wife a Rio Volt (mp3 CDR player) which is pretty > cool. How much? AA batteries? I.e., is it the same size as the CD walkmans? I've considered those a bit too big 'n klunky. Maybe a minidisk player.... hmmm. For non-CD-R players, I'd like to see one that's easy to load up with new songs through linux/usb. I've not yet sussed out which models can do that. Andy > -Yaron
