Don,

Unless you are sitting very close, I don’t agree. 99% of users are going the smartphone route as a remote and look at that to see what is playing and how much time is remaining of the song. If you’re across the room, are you really reading a tiny screen? I won’t even get into how many screens stop working on these players which makes owners send them back.

David,

I agree. It needs to be more price competitive.

Perhaps the street prices will be lower.
