So my wife just bought a Rio 800. I was-amazed/loved the integration of the Rio drivers into software like Apple's iTunes and its predecessor Soundjam on the Mac. I can only assume the integration is as wonderful on Windows platforms.

So my question is... since we've got the marketing power of Rio/SB behind the car unit now, and since we have a noticeable lack of Mac support at present (we have a java app, but it certainly isn't as full-featured as emplode is), why don't Rio/Empeg/SB try to either (a) get the Empeg/RIO-car drivers into those software packages just like their other Rio products, or (b) change the car protocol so it matches the Rio/x00 series products' protocol, and have it work, or (c) have the car unit at least "understand" the Rio/x00 protocol, and even if it isn't "optimal/preferred" it would let other platforms (who DO understand the handheld units) talk to the car unit.

Thoughts from the Empeg/Rio/SB folks who lurk?
