Sony's New Bookshelf MP3 Player -- Audio TiVo?

Betelgeuse writes: "The NY Times has a story story about a new bookshelf MP3/CD player from Sony. Every time you play a CD, the machine automatically copies its tracks onto its built-in 20-gigabyte hard drive. It will then try to get album track information off the CD or, alternately, you can use the PC link to get titles off your favorite cddb-like site." As the article puts it, they've come up with "the world's first TiVo for radio." Long overdue -- I only wish it used a format that was closer to standard, and let you pull tracks to other media. Update: 07/11 18:17 GMT by T : Ooops -- messed up that link, now fixed.

Re:WORLDS LONGEST TROLL

Join me in the worlds longest troll, everyone post a reply to this message and say whatever you want!

What do I want? I want to read Slashdot without the interference of ugly, obscene, petty, first-posting, goatse-linking, natalie-portman-hot-grits-poetry-writing, CmdrTaco gay pr0n, death-of-BSD, lice-ridden-Unix-hackers-with-beards, did I leave anything out? oh yeah, Michael-loving Turd-Report, and every other kind of trolls.

Hmm... did I say that clearly enough? Okay, I'll sum up: I want to read Slashdot without you . Please go away, back to usenet or wherever you came from. Actually, on second thought, don't even go back to usenet. Please take all your computers and give them to someone who will post intelligently.

Side note: I'm posting with my +2 to show how important I think this is. I'm really sick and tired of the S/N ratio around here these days. Please keep in mind that this is an On-Topic reply, albeit to an Off-Topic troll.
