I have been using the Empeg nearly daily for longer than I can remember. Love the thing still after all this time. I am honestly surprised at how well the thing has held up over the years. Occasionally I have had to open it up mess with the HDD cable, but so far thats it.

I have thought about alternate music strategies like feeding my music via my phone, but still the thought of having EVERY thing I own (nearly) at my finger tips keeps it in my car. Even if syncing every quarter or so is a bit of a bear.
