It's inevitable if it's the only MP3 I own. <0.5 wink>

Seriously, I'm likely to add support for additional
players, assuming the Snowblind Alliance remains
intact and adds driver support for additional platforms.

I think we may be talking about two different 
issues. The manipulation and conversion of MP3 
files (e.g. .WAV -> MP3 conversion) is unrelated 
to copying MP3's to MP3 players via the parallel 
or USB port.  Though I would agree it would be 
nice to have a single abstraction layer for the 
download interface.  OTOH, if we don't add support 
for other players, we may never need it. ;-)
