CD's I assume. So they are maybe covering the cost of the media now? I just
bought a 96kHz Mytek A/D (yeah 96kHz......I know, always behind the curve)
and as I was unboxing it, it was comforting to watching be an ad on TV which
was showing MP3 players becoming standard equipment in new cars. The Mytek
does sound very nice at 44.1kHz.....now if it could just hi rez sample at
22kHz (sigh)

;O)
