I look forward to it in a way, but I have to admit, when I get mp3s like
Twoism the first thing I do is cut them to audio cd. I want mp3 to be more
like cd. At work we have a server with all our music on it in mp3 format,
but I also listen to a lot of music while I'm commuting to and from work or
walking around town. Since I carry around about 20 cds in slip-cases I can't
get used to the lack of choice downloading an hour of mp3s into a portable
player gives me (even though it's nice that you can shake the thing quite
vigorously and not get a single glitch). When will we be able to get
credit-card flash-memory? That's when I will make the switch.
Ross.
