MP3 Players

[ted leslie]

oddly enough the rio comes with some audible.com stuff!
i think its 56Kbit for wma, but can only go own to 128 (or 96) for mp3
so yeah a lot of books and podcasts would be nice at 56Kb

if mplayer can convert and spit out wmv8/9 
i wonder if something on linux can encode wma ?
i hate using ms stuff, but for a simple audio codec .. its not gonna kill me.

I also read that someone put a 1GB sd in it, but one would hope a 2GB would work,
but i guess until someone tries.
