The day is rapidly approaching when every piece of music ever recorded
will be available for easy downloading. Just punch a few keys, wait a
minute or two, and start a-pogoing to an ultra-rare ragtime 78, or that
demo cassette your favorite thrash-funk band released in 1991, or a
Robbie Rivera remix of a Pink jam she hasn't even recorded yet. This
audio glut, combined with the ever-accelerating advances in portable
song-slinging devices, means there will always be something to listen
to. And you will have no acceptable excuse for not doing so every
waking second.
OK, one excuse: MP3 players are overpriced,
especially those on top of the sales charts. You'll get no argument on
that point from us. But the RCA Lyra won't let you hide behind fiscal
concerns. For less than you usually spend in two hours at Dave &
Buster's, you'll get 512 bold, brassy MB of tuneage and/or
audiobookage. Not enough? Expand it with an SD/MMC card (not included).
The Lyra also includes an FM transmitter,
bringing MP3s, WMAs, Audible audiobooks to an FM frequency near you.
