That would be great for traveling. :)

Well, Diamond has already released a portable mp3 player that contains
no moving parts.  Kinda like a Walkman.  Stores mp3's in RAM.  I know
of a couple of efforts to produce an mp3 cd player.

Note: I am *not* advocating creating mp3-based archive CDs for
distribution or sharing.  Just keeping in that gray area of
duplication for personal use.

IMO there are no gray areas for personal use.  If I buy a CD I should
be able to listen to the music on it anywhere, in any format.
