Has anybody checked this out? Looks like it could be indirect compition to the Empeg. It is a portable MP3 player that looks like a portable CD player. It has an internal 6gig hard drive, and Creative Labs say that the software is fully upgradeable like the Empeg. It also supports other file formats.
Although it does not have any visuals, it does support many, many playlists.
There will also be an "car adapter kit" available that will come with a cigarette lighter power adapter, and an FM transmitter so you can listen to it through your exsisting radio.

Here are my first impressions (compared to the Empeg)
Has in common with Empeg: has outputs to hook up to your home stereo
Similer type PC software for u/l and creating playlists
Software is upgradable
Massive storage (6gb)

Advantages:
-About half the price (MSRP $600 US) for the same amount of storage
much more smaller and portable, you can listen to it with headphones
-You can bring it anywhere and listen to it (your car, your friends car, your home stereo, your friends home stereo etc)

Disadvantages:
-No Visuals
-Limited to playing only music files (no other uses)
-bulky to have it playing in the car
-Has no room for expansion (can not add more storage space)
-FM Quality when playing in your car (unless you use some special connectors)

Anybody else have any ideas? Please keep in mind that I said it was in "indirect" compitition to the Empeg. I realize that it is not in the exact same class.

Thanks...
