If, as most of this forum is saying, the real value in the MP is its' software (the extraction/RUR/error code eliminating software, not the cataloging/GUI stuff) then I would think that Messrs Bischoff and Porzilli could make huge margins (that's what it's all about) and quicker headway by marketing the software only, combined with alliances to hardware/periphery companies. I mean, if it's really revolutionary and rips the cd to the point of elimninating all that is wrong with redbook, most music lovers will pay $300-500 for this, and they'll sell thousands. As a 30 yr veteran of the software industry (sales and mgmt) I marvel at the margins that can be gained by some upfront R&D (already done, evidently) and some cd stamping or downloading production sites. The ongoing R&D can be funded by a minimal upgrade charge and any profit taken from distributing some partner hardware. Then the big guys buy you out and you go sailing.
What is new with the Memory Player?
I have read that this player is the next great source at the online mags. Have others heard this player and is it currently being sold? What are the impressions of those who have heard this machine? Any information would be nice since I have read almost nothing other than what is contained in the magazines. Bob
