In my experience of attempting to market this product I have found that all we need to do is get it seen. Once you've actually seen an empeg, or read a well observed review, the product sells itself.

I've sold people on empeg just by telling them about it. I had one guy in my car two weeks ago (I don't own an empeg) and he was pining for something larger than 74 minutes of audio in one go. So I said "well, there's this thing called an empeg car player..." and conversation went from there. At one point he said "Ah, but wouldn't it be cool if it had voice recognition!" and I said "well, in the next model..."

BIG big smile on my face.

BTW, for rob's comment "office doors", I would substitute "dorm doors" or "bedrooms".

Slashdot's an interesting place to get some versions of the truth.
