    It looks cool, but it isn't. All the reviews I've read have slammed it. Primary problem: It doesn't play MP3, it plays ATRAC. So to transfer any songs to it, it requires your computer to transcode from one lossy format to another.
    Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.

      ATRACs were great in the 70's. Only problem with them is that you had to flip them over yourself.

        Yeah - and there was that annoying replay of the last few seconds, to get you "back in the mood"

            You couldn't flip ATRAC's over, you also couldn't rewind them, only FF and Play
