I'd like to chime in (a few months late ) to say the coolest thing about my empeg is it has brought my CD collection to life.

Like anyone else, I've collected a number of CDs over the years, but it seems I rarely listen to any unless a particular song comes to mind and then I dig around for the CD containing it. The exception of course is immediately following the purchase of a new CD.

I've only just recently (!) started to encode all of these CDs and put them on my empeg. In the process I've come across quite a number of songs I'd forgotten about -- and now they're instantly available any time I want to hear them!

What a marvelous invention.
