Has anyone got any information on the CD Jukebox type unit as shown in the 'posh gear' section of this months CAR magazine...? Price was quoted at GBP 550, seems resonable as thats what you'd pay for a tuner CD changer combination...

Jon.

Nick, still no word on that FAQ testing, I have been away tho...

Jon: just got to write the user management bit as I have to upload a new databsae every time I want to edit/add a new user, which ain't clever . But if you look, you'll now see a "log in" button on the FAQ...

Yep, it's EMPEG. Rio bought 'em out.

Good unit, hellishly expensive.

You want a LIMP thing!

Doesnt seem cheap i have to say but seems like it might be kinda future proof as its upgradeable, but saying that so is my Arcam CD player and Ive never bothered with that...

LIMP thing? assume thats a tech term over my head unless we're Limping with the bizcit...

Cheers Nick, LIMP looks cool but way too much work for me... very tempted with the Rio but as usual the one you want is the most expensive with all th options... grrr...

I wonder how many more of these we'll start to see as MP3 grows...?
