Just been reading about the new Rio S10 and S30 at www.sonicblue.com
and I note in the fine print/tech specs this comment:

In reply to:

---

New Rio Music Manager software for easy music transfers to your player

---

Is the 'new' Rio Music manager software related to Emplode?

There is also this comment on the Press Release about the Rio S10 (and S30):

Rio Music Manager Software makes transferring files to the Rio S10 easier than ever


I note that this software is different from (i.e. not a OEM version of) ITunes or as those are included but listed as seperate items e.g:

In reply to:

---

Packaged with RealOne™ and iTunes™ software to organize your music

---

If its not your software, what is this software based on if not Emplode?
And who in SB wrote it, given you guys ARE the Audio software group for SB right?

Any comments Rob, Hugo?

Note:
I also note this comment in the Press Release (my emphasis):

today unveiled the first players in Rio’s new line of portable digital music players, the Rio® S10 and S30S sport player

Is the start of release of the new products Rob sort of hinted at that the guys had been involved with recently?
