Folks, unless you work for Empeg or Rio...any opinion you spout about whether or not Rio or Empeg would ever discontinue our beloved MP3 car player is PURE speculation. Can someone from Empeg or Rio please confirm or deny this rumor?

As I said before, this particular dealer is VERY reputable. They regularly do $50,000 and $80,000 car stereo installs on a regular basis. They have a monthly add that runs in the Robbs Report. There is little or no incentive for them to "make up" a rumor like that...particularly to me since I already have an Empeg. If they told me this rumor...its because they heard it somewhere else. So maybe its a rumor and maybe not. But I sure would like to hear what someone from the factory has to say about it.
