DRM
Doc, The DRM that Lou refers to that he says Sony is getting into is not the DRM that you're talking about. This DRM = "Digital Radio Mondiale", a format for delivering digital audio over mediumwave and shortwave. I helped out with the first demonstration of this DRM in North America last March in Kulpsville, Pennsylvania, and I have to say, I was impressed with the sound quality. One of the coolest radios that received these digital signals was a prototype that was built into the case of a Sangean ATS-818, and was therefore easily portable. At the moment, the only receivers you can actually buy to receive these broadcasts require a separate computer to decode the signals. I don't think there was any of the other DRM, Digital Rights Management, involved. There's even an open source software decoder available, written by a grad student at the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany, IIRC. There are responses to this message:
