Has anybody seen one of these in person? Aiwa's page is utterly devoid of interesting details (it's also down at the moment). The gist seems to be that you can burn CD-R and CD-RW disks of your MP3s and this gizmo will deal with it. Presumably, this will be buckets cheaper than an EMPEG, as it's coming from a major manufacturer and is probably little more than new software layered on their existing hardware.

The Aiwa gizmo is presumably also a preview of other new gizmos to come for the Christmas insanity season.
