"ID tag support is obviously something people want, as you can see by how successfull the competition is in comparison to e.Dig"
One's got NOTHING to do with the other. EDIG's troubles are rooted in terrible financial straits. Give them the advertising budget of Archos/Rio/Bantam , and the same retail outlets, and then perhaps you can compare them in terms of how players have sold. ID3 tags have nothing to do with it at present.
Who is this Time Being, and why are we always doing things for it?
