MrFarm stranger Registered: 25/09/2000 Posts: 43 Loc: Guildford	Dunno if anyone else has seen this: http://www.evisteon.com/b2c/mach_mp3c.htm. Reads off CDs, doesnt look like it does ID3 tags, or anything decent. Looks shite.

Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12341 Loc: Sterling, VA	That's the ugliest piece of audio equipment I've ever seen! And the display is worse than any I've ever read! Funny how this company is going forward in some respects, but going backwards in usability. DiGNAN Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, etc. _________________________ Matt

Smoker_Man member Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 165 Loc: Calgary, CANADA	ohohohohoh, can I get the neon-lime-green faceplate? Well, a valiant effort, but why did PopMech/Sci give them an award? Plus, not everyone has a double din slot. Why keep rehashing cd's?? They are soooo 20th century, hmph!

I couldn't imagine what it was like to shuffle that many songs. ___________ Tony Fabris _________________________ Tony Fabris

Henno addict Registered: 15/07/1999 Posts: 568 Loc: Meije, Netherlands	you could shuffle up to 255 songs I bet it has no storage itself, but merely shuffles all songs on a single CD; upto 255 very short ones [grin]. Didn't empeg do a Mk1 based prototype for these guys about a year ago? It should be cheap though. I guess it'll be under US$150 Henno mk2 6 nr 6 _________________________ Henno mk2 [orange]6 [/orange]nr 6

Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12341 Loc: Sterling, VA	Yeah, considering it doesn't even look like a very good CD player, let alone MP3 player. DiGNAN Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, etc. _________________________ Matt

rob carpal tunnel Registered: 21/05/1999 Posts: 5335 Loc: Cambridge UK	Which part of them would you like me to break? Rob PS I'm only kidding, nothing against them, in fact I don't even know them. I think they're about the only automotive MP3 developers who haven't introduced themselves to us (including Sony, who like to check out our stuff and gossip at every show ). Rob

EngelenH enthusiast Registered: 29/09/2000 Posts: 313 Loc: Belgium/Holland	Hey, at least it does not have flashing blue lighting during volume adjustment like the Aiwa indash player I saw today. Still trying to wash the remains of my lunch out of my shirt atm. Why do people actually buy this stuff anyway ? Oh well, cheers.

Henno addict Registered: 15/07/1999 Posts: 568 Loc: Meije, Netherlands	Why do people actually buy this stuff anyway ? A US$150 player? I bet that such a CDplayer will come as a standard option and everyone buying a Ford will get it with the car so Ford join the bad wagon and can advertise that they support MP3 disks.
