This is probably no consolation - I have started to car share with a colleague from work. He doesn't have as fantastic a car player as me so we end up listening to the radio when he drives. On Friday I heard two very convincing arguments against getting a tuner.

1. 2 Pac's version of That's Just The Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby and the Range.
2. The latest cover of Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal.

Thank you empeg for what you must have saved me from over the past year.

I will get a tuner when it becomes available in the UK but I wonder how much I'll use it. My colleague spends most of our journeys in my car searching tracks (once he became brave enough) and is the same as I was when I first got my unit. Can't wait till the end of a track before going to the next one, and the next one, and the next one. I'm trying to talk him into getting an empeg but he's not totally convinced ... yet.

you could just install a sled in their car and share :-)

or maybe use a RF adaptor and the home outputs

Flaky transfer software? You *are* running 1.03, right? I've synchronised over 20gb in a single sync with 1.03 & USB... previous to 1.03, things could get a bit flaky dependent on the PC, OS, etc.

Transfer software that is flakier than a snowstorm.

I'm with Hugo... In my experience, the Emplode software has been extremely stable and reliable in recent releases. If you are having specific problems with your uploads, please post these problems to the Bug Reports forum and we'll see if we can get them corrected.

I spoke with Steve today. At 11pm on Friday he finally found someone to take responsibility for shipping the parts to Cambridge. When they're in transit I might just share the DHL tracking number with the BBS as proof.

Which Derek are you talking to Rob? Dredd or me?

I didn't want to get offensive you know, even if I felt some people were getting a bit that way ... Anyway, enough of that.
