I'm probably setting myself up for a real flame job here (...pauses to don asbestos underwear...) but I think what he did was actually pretty neat.

Think about it -- he has a workable audio player capable of playing over 100 hours of music, easily upgradable to more if he wants, built at essentially no cost out of obsolete bits and pieces found in his garage.

Is it as good as an empeg? No. Does it have the music management software the empeg has? Of course not. Is it a geeky toy that will impress everybody like the empeg? No.

But... will it play lots of music at about 10% of the cost of an empeg? Damn right it will! My hat's off to this guy!
