Rich, Right you are! Although Philips makes the Kodak player, it is really more of an "XA" drive. There has been a recent announcement to allow the Kodak drive to support audio (it will play normal CD audio right now) but the new announcement was to interleave sound with the photos. That sounds like an "XXA", extended-extended-architecture. When Kodak realizes that most people will opt for the full CD-I instead of just a "picture" player, there may be a cat fight! Rgds Jan
