Music buffs with a collection of tracks downloaded from the Internet in the
popular MP3 format will soon be able to listen to them on the go. Electronics
company NAiAM of Fremont, California, is working on a personal stereo designed
to play MP3 tracks that have been recorded on rewritable CDs. The company says
each CD will be able to hold over 10 hours of music, about 175 songs. The device
should be on sale by Christmas.
