So when's some squad of geeks taking the streets to block traffic in just the right places paint out a big red "SLASHDOT" accross the map of a major metropolitan area? Helluva of a screenshot that would be.
Not trying to be contrary - I agree that they'll move to web-based distribution, just trying to say it's a bummer that they're alienating part of the market that probably said hallelujah when the computer card came out.
Ok, but that still leaves people out in the country-side or who are using their homebrew music systems in their cars shit out of luck...
Either way information wants to be free and with all the waveform fingerprinting going on it'll be really hard to keep people from saving and cataloging the music.
Reminds me of my days at Virginia Tech where every student got Eudora from computing services. Now if you don't take the time to go through all the dialogues in Eudora to set up your reply address it reamins set to "default_user" at whatever domain you're on.
On the POP server we were able to set up aliases.
Bing, one day I set up a default_user alias for myself and the next day my mailbox was full of about a hundred messages. I looked at a few making sure not to remember the peoples names;)
I let the alias slide after it was just too many emails. Maybe someone else has it now. Maybe it's gotten claimed by the cumputing services.
i can also write a simple script to do file globbing on the command line - but hey, i can just do a cat * and it works. pretty cool when something just works.
sorry, i'm not trying to be a punk about this, i'm really trolling around for users that have the ogg update to see if they can use unix native playlists.

I saw some from Boston about a year ago, faint, but visible.
This made me dig for one of my pictures. It definitely startled me when I stopped to at an atm in Ecuador/Peru? and saw this windows screen.

I just got an iMP-550 CD based player from IRiver and have been trying to get my mp3 playlists working (no ogg vorbis support yet).
Turns out they only support CRLF linebreaks and \ path separators.
Since ogg vorbis is such a 'Linux' phenomenon I'd be pleasantly surprised to see LF and / support in the new ogg firmware for this player.
Does anyone out there with an iHP-120 know if it handles unix style playlists?
please please please please please Iriver please
