that makes the zen stone cheaper and with a lot more memory than the muvo.
Great!

> Sorry, no Book Port. Cry.  there are some MP3 devices out there that will
play them.  I think the zen stone player everyone is talking about will play
them, but let someone who has one tell you for sure.  There is a muvo 512
mix, if it still exists, which will play them, and, if you're into the big
bucks, the olympus ds 50.  the new book port is supposed to be able to play
them, too.  I don't think this new victor stream everyone is talking about
plays them. there are probably other mp3 players out there that will, but
many are not accessable.
> Good luck finding one.
> I believe Perkins offers the 512 for around $50.  blindcooltech.com has
some links to sites that sell these. Fergusson Enterprises sells the olympus
with an smp3 disk with good instructions.

are saying it; so is it a mp3 player or an mp3 player?

Are there any digital rights management issues involved and something the
