I wonder how hard it would be to create an mp3-CD player?  Put
together a CD-ROM drive, DOS-on-a-chip, a DSP, and some custom

That would be great for traveling. :)

You've seen the Diamond Rio?  http://www.diamondmm.com/rio/

It's not a CD player, but rather has 32MB of flash. Not nearly as much as a
CD of course, but still.

I thought about that.  Didn't realize you could load tracks into a RAM
for offline playback.

If the Diamond Rio continues to survive prosecution and persecution,
it could be the killer app for a consumer-level internet.
