Antitheft MP3s

Having been a loyal Sony customer for nearly 20 years, ordinarily this would be a no brainer to add to my Car stereo/mini disk player/cd changer controller and cd changer. But, after the ongoing Sony/BMG debacle, I have to say not so fast! I have been looking to add MP3 library ability to my car for awhile now and this has all the features and Sony quality that I have been wanting. I can't just take the disrepect and lack of judgement that Sony/BMG has shown and continues to show by not stepping up and making the situation right to their large core of repeat customers. While I don't have any of the BMG DRM CDs, and I know that BMG is a different division of Sony than the Car Audio division, etc; it's a legitimate concern that they will try to do similar things in the other divisions if they don't face any repercussions for the BMG divisions actions. Thier response to the outcry only makes it more probable that they would try to get away with similar actions in other divisions since they don't feel they did anything wrong. I can't, in good consceinsce, buy this or other Sony products until they take responsibility for the root kits and show that they respect and appreciate their customers. The PhatNoise PhatBox Digital Media Player setup might be in my car very, very soon if Sony doesn't step up.
