Yea... I just got the RioVolt mp3/CD hybrid and its a really great
little piece. What good is 6 gigs if the batteries are dead in 3-4
hours? Better solution: get one of these mp3/cd hybrids and bring a CD
wallet with you. It also has upgradable firmware so when that next
format comes around, this thing will be able to support it.
