Good Idea, BUT.. I think the recent won-lawsuit against mp3.com for a similar service (albiet internet based...) would prevent anyone from exploring that option for a while:(

I was about to dismiss this out of hand...but the mp3.com suit was a real screwup on the court's part.

As near as I can tell, the precedent set by that suit directly contradicts RIAA vs. Diamond. My read of the situation was that building the database was the infringement, not distributing it. Where's the line between that and ripping CD's you've purchased to play in your Rio or empeg? If that's OK, what's wrong with automating that function in the player, as I described in my first post?
