64bps is NOT CD quality, you need to go to 128 to get that.  I usually
cut mine at 96, below that it starts to sound "tinny" to me.

Well, the music industry was starting to think so.

Already there is a cd-rom-based portable MP3 player coming out.  Yes, it
has moving parts, so loses a lot of the benefit of the memory-based ones,
but it also is very usable with the stuff you are burning.

I don't have one of those, still have my PMP300, which can only hold about
45 minutes of stuff at a time.  I use it for rollerblading.
