One connection can live in infamy or in the human condition not at all. That is the risk we are taking with these so called scientist who say they can contain a small black hole. It doesn’t make me to safe, with all the hype of this project and its possibilities and with that the hazards. Yes, its one connection, but what about one that fails when its not suppose to. I’m not a scientist, so I have to trust these knuckleheads but it concerns me when they can’t even solder a connection correctly, and we are suppose to trust them not to destroy the world on a oops.

I have four boys and hate how easily CD/DVDs are scratched. Computer games, video games, etc. Hopefully they can implement this for video games, cause I'm sick of spending $40+ bucks to have it ruined so easily. Planned obsolescense sucks! I for one will support better formats. Personally, I look foreward to seeing media formats that are more robust than CDs/DVDs. I have four boys and hate how easily CD/DVDs are scratched.

I think they missed the boat by only using that type of device. Didn't someone make a USB memory stick that was also Bluetooth?? I think a microDS w/bluetooth would be even better.

Ive got one and it rocks. SD cards, USBs, MMC's .. they are all just forms of flash drives. Which is all an iPod essentially is. So its a marketing gimmic, not a new technology.

(recording engineers) Even when subsequent generations are bit for bit accurate, 97 out of 100 engineers can hear a loss By the third generation. Hit music contains an emotional content that disappears a bit more in each generation. This is why online copying should not be discriminated against. As each generation or copy will sound worse and worse. When people hear the original or a copy with less gen loss they will realize the difference. Quality is important and whether these devices can provide it or not is also important. These folks are spending money only time will tell if that was well spent. generational loss in digital music, is an extreme and well-known problem in the music industry. (recording engineers)

I know technology well enough to know that losing an entire music collection in one fell swoop due to a corrupted hard drive is not only possible, it's more than likely at some point. Unless you're diligent about back-ups (and most folks are not), downloaded music is always vulnerable to such losses. A dropped, lost, or stolen I-pod means a lost collection too. Sure, the simultaneous loss of both would be unlikely to happen, but I will always be more comfortable buying music on some form of physical media that I can store and access as needed. I enjoy digital music as much as the next person, but I like having an actual physical disc or something to show for the purchase. I enjoy actual liner notes as well. I just hope that slot music, if it somehow manages to take hold, is recorded at or better than CD quality. If they expect to sell this product at MP3 quality, I won't bother. It's a shame that MP3's have taken such a foothold, because in terms of audio quality, they're far inferior to CD quality. I don't subscribe to the "downloads are the only way to go" mindset.
