dont take this the wrong way, but i doubt it will threaten MP3 solutions.
most mp3 zealots will still want to be able to put thier mp3 files on md
media, mind you not convert them to atrac, but have them there just as an
mp3. IMO people are just too stupid to see a good thing. on the bright
side MD does have a good solid base and is not going to just go away.
