Unless they plan on upgrading it to add these features.


From the Outlaw IR-1000 "Press Release" page of the Outlaw site:

Quote:
Unlike traditional hardware based products, the IR 1000 is its fully upgradeable, and the station list and operating software may both be updated directly through the Internet connection at no cost and without the need for a computer. The first free upgrade will be made available in late spring, 2002, with the addition of MP3 capabilities. This will bring an additional 1,000 program sources and terrestrial stations to every IR 1000, including the very first units shipped. The IR 1000's upgrade capability makes it virtually obsolescence proof and able to offer additional features in the future.


Looks like MP3 is definitely planned. How and in what manner remains to be seen.
