I know what you mean, I love DOB, I think it is 400% better than what comes with the Rio. I noticed more and more that hardware companies are either scared and are taking the "no content control built in is evil" attitude, or they are just blind. again, thanks for giving us Dreaming Of Brazil. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Rio 500 firmware Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2001 15:27:29 +0200 charset="iso-8859-1" Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It sure hurts to hear people say things like that about my software ;-). Besides, most people giving feedback about DoB praise it for enabling them to carry files (usually *not* MP3s) around.
