I suggest you assemble a collection of comedy MP3s

Interspersing edited short bites of your favourite comedy moments and letting them come up at random in your playlists breaks the music up and gives you periodic chuckles on a long journey.

On the general subject of this thread, the Empeg is a wonderful thing and, being not of a technical bent, I'm always frustrated that people on the BBS get to use so many features that I don't.

Having said which I get quite enough and loads of interest from people that don't know about it - I can't think other than if it was reintroduced now, when consumers are so much more aware of MP3 technology, it would be a winner for Rio.
