Good.

And this quote: "With this initiative, Sony is debuting an important
option for digital media players as it opens new doors for a rich
digital experience," said Dave Wascha, director of Windows Client
Product Management at Microsoft Corp."

drives me up the effin' wall. If I hear one more guy from Micro$oft
use the phrase "rich media" or "rich experience" or just "rich", I'm
going to fly up to Redmond and start clubbing people.

Correction on the title. Should be 'Sony realizes customers prefer some degree
of freedom and scupper their silly ATRAC format ten years too late.'

I disliked ATRAC the first and all subsequent times I heard it. Illfated
DCC sounded better and I predicted the demise of that utterly illogical
format the day it was described and introduced as the beginning of the end
of cassettes and CDs.... in 1995.

Oh yeah? Well, Mr. Smartypants, I'll see your DCC deck and raise you
one Elcaset deck.

So there.

ROFL man.. you actually have a working one? I have to admit to googlin' that
term, it was news to me. Looks like another case of Sony being business
market stupid with a superior quality product.

:-) I *almost* bought one back then... but they didn't have a car deck
to match!

Yep. Mine is by Technics - it's a rackmount pro model, with big VU
meters, separate level knobs, and a mechanical transport control.

Still works - I only have one tape, though. Haven't fired it up in
years.
