Erm, yes, it's the PJB100 - well over a year old. It's a portable, not a specialist car player. You could use it (or it's competitors) instead of an empeg but there are about a thousand reasons why you shouldn't.

The part I was 'yikes'-ing about was that it looks from that 'review' that it does encoding from a digital stream (cd) too...

Do I even WANT to know how that sounds ?

Cheers,
Hans

Yes, I got one several months ago. It's great.

And I still got an Empeg. :-)

No, it doesn't encode; they do supply ripping/encoding software for the PC with it though.

That's not how the review depicts it ... imho ...

Possibly because it's a sales pitch, not a review.
