This is true, to the extent that they don't make an MP3 walkman-style

When was the last time someone on this m-list purchased
a Cassette walkman ? Are they still very popular ?
They are still on the shelves but I don't know anyone
who has bought one in the last 3 years. Perhaps
parents still buy them for their kids?

them either. Sony dropped those two lines on their i.Li

I dropped by Target today and picked up the 700, as someone on this list
had earlier promised it would be there. They had the 500 advertised at
$149 and the 700 at $199. It rang up for $249, but the display said $199,
so I challenged them to look at it and they corrected it. What was even

USB and firewire were established around the same time.
Before this post I did a little research to see if I could find a Sony MP3
player similar to a Rio. From my research, I have found that Sony doesn't
seem to make an actual MP3 player.
They make a music clip that requires you to convert MP3 files to ATRAC3. I

USB CD-R/W is a SCSI hack. That is, the driver and drive pretent to be

USB is really
Probably not, but you don't say how you originally recorded the material.
If it's a copy of a CD, with a compatible CD player with opticial digital
out, you can set the player to Sync and it will put the track marks in
exactly the right places using the track information in the SPDIF signal.
