Andru Edwards writes "It can be said that the current digital music scene can be a bit overwhelming with all the competing technologies and file formats.

So where are we headed? This article examines what the future of digital music will bring, both from the hardware and software perpectives."

  2. Where's the HD *and* CompactFlash? by PornMaster · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I would love to see a CompactFlash slot put into an iPod mini. 4GB of HD, plus the ability to swap tunes in and out on a CF card? Have a permanent core collection on HD, then "stuff you're in the mood for" on a 1GB CF? CF cards are getting really cheap these days.
