digitalkamera.de Confirms That Diamond Rio MP3 Player Effectively "Destroys" SmartMedia Cards

digitalkamera.de has posted an article about using SmartMedia cards in Diamond's Rio MP3 player. To protect copyrighted songs from being duped on PC's the card is altered once it is formatted for use with the Rio player.

If you try to reuse the SM card in a digicam it will only generate an error message and can not be reformatted.
