Zune Marketplace Songs Play Nice with PlaysForSure Devices?

Remember when Microsoft decided to create a new form of DRM for the Zune marketplace, making songs bought using their PlaysForSure system incompatible with their new player and songs bought through their new store incompatible with all other players? That was hilarious! Well, it turns out that the wall set up between the two DRM formats isn't as solid as we thought. More »

Woot Deal: Rio 5GB Player

Act fast, because this deal will probably go fast. I had a Rio Carbon back in the day—a great little MP3 player—and this one even comes with Zcyber i3 portable speakers... all for $99. You can't even get a 5GB flash drive for $99. More »

Rio to be Sold, Again

D&M Holdings Inc. will be selling the intellectual property and technical staff of Rio to Sigmatel. Sigmatel is the manufacturer of a variety of technology products including flash memory and processors. To some, this sounds like a step backwards, back into the deep, dark pit of flash-based MP3 players.

Listen: If anyone can beat Apple, Rio can. I'm not just being facetious. They've done a lot of good, pioneering work.
