The most infuriating thing I have found when showing off the Empeg to freinds is that once they have gotten over the Graphics, (about ten minutes) they start asking for particular songs. Mainly the top twenty songs, which i invariably don't have yet. Then they dismiss it as "gees, why would you waste you money on that if you don't have the songs i like".
I think their tiny brains have trouble grappling with the concept of what this thing can do.

I also like the way that it is pretty much user proof without the remote. If I have the remote, no-one can change my music. this is great for gym training where i work.

What are other peoples' reaction to the Empeg?

You can only be young once. You can be immature for as long as you like.
