It does seem strange for a company that intended on producing multimedia 
computers and an OS for it have not created their multimedia OS. Why the 
company does not have software that works for other OS versions except 
Microsoft is a surprise to me.
I would like to be able to encode and play in lossless or ogg format 
with the player instead of having a limit for mp3 or wma.

For encoding music, I think grip is better suited for my preferences 
instead of Sound juicer. Sound juicer doesn't work with the mp3 plugins 
using rawhide. Grip on the other hand works well with the plugins and 
seems to rip discs a little quicker and also does not make directories 
with spaces, as Sound juicer does.

I'll send my "thanks" to Creative shortly.

Jim
