I recon you posted this to enhance our empeg feel-good factor(s)
ATRAC3 Compression with 132kbps/105kbps recording modes can store up to 200 CD's of music
Your CD's are recognized by the pre-installed Gracenote CDDB database - Dated the moment it leaves the factory?

Oh heck, I could post post loads more.

You're right though, without an empeg this looks like a reasonably decent proposition.
