I wish that something like this would be possible, but MDs are too big to fit inside a cassette.

I don't think MD has a lot to worry about.. I don't think it stands a chance - it relies on people with a lot of tape-based (and presumably non-CD) devices wanting to play MP3s on them. I don't see a big overlap between the tape luddites and MP3 users. Even amongst the people into MP3 who (for instance) want to use it in their cars but only have a tape player, I think they'll just go out and buy a tape adaptor rather than a silly device like this. Full marks for design (is this the same as the one posted a couple of months ago though, that's already on sale?), poor marks for not thinking the idea through. -- Simon - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
