You might be better off buying a MP3 player that handles CDRs instead of buying a Rio or one of the other types. They're a bit cheaper, they can handle 650 MB of MP3s at a time and regular CDs as well and they're basically just as portable. The only one that has any support that I'm aware of is the Nomad II. You can find a project on SourceForge: http://nomadii.sourceforge.net/ I bought this one, and I'm pretty happy with it: http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=DMP-1 Take care, Zonker -- Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 43599611 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books...
