Ripping CDs to MP3s is a pretty easy process, with many different free programs vying for space on your hard drive to have the honor of digitizing your music. But what if you aren't near your computer? Sometimes you get a CD and you need MP3s ripped from it right now. Enter the Seagrand EZ-6. It looks like a clunky Discman, but it can rip CDs to MP3 format right to a USB thumb drive or SD card. We're sure that the idea behind this product is to ease the burden on your PC's RAM by saving it the trouble of ripping music, not to allow you to rip CDs without buying them — okay, kids? The battery life is a paltry 80 minutes of playing time or 60 minutes of recording time using 3 AAA batteries. You can get an EZ-6 of your own shipped over from Japan for $170 starting next month. — Adam Frucci
