Perhaps it will work out, or perhaps not. Maybe we'll be seeing audio on DVDs which can probably store 50000000 hours per disc. My point is that mp3 may be reserved for a "download on demand" environment. For the PS2, this may be a good thing, with all the available expansion ports, etc, but as for the current psx, I'm not convinced about mp3 distrubution over CD... just yet... Steven
