Has anyone downloaded to these before? Or, can I play like an NPR radio station without having to worry about licensing fees? Thanks for your time; I'm in Illinois Chicagoland

Premier makes a similar unit. They are used in stores with multiple locations so that all the locations can be updated from the "home office" over the internet. I really don't think it's going to do you any good. And there isn't really any public domain music that you would want to use for MOH. You lawyer friend has plenty of money. I'm sure he can afford a regular player and have a MOH production professionally done to make him look good (or as good as an attorney can be made to look :shrug: ). Just be sure to get your money upfront... -Hal CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some comments made by me are known to the State of California to cause irreversible brain damage and serious mental disorders leading to confinement.
