Personally, I'll wait until one of the larger consumer audio manufacturers
release their version (Panasonic, Sony, etc). I'm quite surprised that they
haven't already released their own MP3 CD players actually. They'd better
get their collective asses in gear.. I like the fact that the Mambo-X can
play CD-RW's as well.. Just don't like the name though. Reminds me of that
lame Mambo No. 5 song ;)

Hopefully when holographic data storage systems becomes a viable
alternative, we can archive our whole record collections (hell, let's
archive every audio recording known to man!)
