Hello. I have ordered my Empeg player thanks to the fire sale over at Rio since they decided to get rid of this wonderful product. Found this forum and thought I'd ask a few questions.

I've got a 20GB version coming. I think that will hold me for now. I was wondering a few things I couldn't figure out from the Empeg website. I'd appreciate a few answers if you wouldn't mind.

My understanding is you can add at least one more hard drive, or replace your existing one. Any links to details about that? I don't think 20GB will run out anytime soon, but that's related to my next question.

What's the best bit rate for quality recording of the MP3s? now that I've gotten the Empeg I'm probably going to get their in house system one day. I have a huge investment in CDs & Home Theater setup, and I don't want it to sound bad on my Klipsch Reference speakers in the house but good in the car. What's a good bit rate? 192K? 256K? 384K?

The Tuner option. Does it plug inside the Empeg somewhere? I'm planning in my head for the install, and the picture looked weird and I wasn't sure how it installed into the unit. Does anyone have a picture with it installed that I could see?

Any recommended amps & speaker combos? I'm afraied I've paid litle attention to the car audio market. My Audi TT came with a 'Bose' system so I'm going to have to yank everything out. (it's all weird amp/speakers, someone said it was like 2 ohm, or something extremely non-standard. I've got a good dealer here that I plan to use, but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a quality system. I'm not necessarily looking for 15 25" subs. I'm more wanting good highs, mids, and lows without having to get rid of my trunk. I have the two door convertible with a small trunk, so I'd prefer a decent set of three way speakers, or maybe a component speakers. The doors have a small tweeter hole and a mid hole in them, and then there is a small sub spot at my elbow.

Anyone got any links to anyone that has done a wireless setup? I'm quite fond of the idea of pulling into the garage, going t othe computer room and uploading new CDs I've purchased to the car without having to pull the unit in and out every day. Though I do know it is easy to do, I'm more of a geek and think it's cool to have the wireless thing for grins. That means as long as it's not too expensive.
