ATRAC3 blah. I like how they list ATRAC3 as a feature.

I think the neo would be better because you can load it in the house instead of having to sit in the car and insert each cd.

This, and Sony's version of it, were already spoken about in another thread here. I don't think very many people who want or have an empeg liked them very much.

I recon you posted this to enhance our empeg feel-good factor(s)
ATRAC3 Compression with 132kbps/105kbps recording modes can store up to 200 CD's of music
Your CD's are recognized by the pre-installed Gracenote CDDB database - Dated the moment it leaves the factory?

Oh heck, I could post post loads more.

You're right though, without an empeg this looks like a reasonably decent proposition.

I thought the sony one used mp3 not atarac3 which makes no sense didn't they create the ATRAC3 format.

I think they do something with one of those "memory stick" doohickeys. Don't remember exactly.

I wonder if you could attach a laptop to them? or for that matter, rig them to a wireless connection...
