I've got one, too. Since I got it after my Empeg, I did think that the interface was terrible, but whether that was because I've been spoilt I couldn't decide.

I've come to the conclusion that it's acceptable for the purposes for which I wanted it (which is mainly on relatively short train journeys, and the like), but I wouldn't have been able to use it as a music source with my old car stereo, as I once considered.

Mind you, I like the way it's easy to use as a USB file taxi. I know you can (just about) use the Empeg for this, but it's a damn sight more complex than the Nomad.
