Agreed on all those points, Doug, but something occured to me today.

The IASCA is going to have to eventually come up with a way of dealing with digital music players. Eventually such players will be as common as CD players. There's going to be a "critical mass" point when they'll have to recognize them as a valid piece of competition hardware.

So, despite my initial skepticism, I now agree that coming up with some sort of standardized, reasonably secure handling method of source audio for competition is important. Why not start with the Empeg paving the way of the future?
