RE: Re: AudioTron on sale at Laser in UK

["BUTLER, Tony, FM" <roaming@xxxxxxx>]

One minor disadvantage of the Rio is that they are no longer sold and thus = a
little hard to get hold of.

This is a shame really because it does fill a gap and has the most advanced=
3rd party software support......
It can also do Ogg, FLAC etc natively.
The AT will not support these apparently because of horsepower requirements= ,
and the SLiMP will only ever support additional formats by transcoding to MP3 which is likely to reduce quailty :(
