Can you people out there give me some reviews on your M Stations please.

Also do they fit onto the standard double din cd/casette player in the STI 7?
Do they jog, ie do the hardrives get shaken around or are they are in good vibration absorbing bay.

Cheers,

Dave.

OK -
They sound good (depending on the program used to rip the CD); can't complain about the quality & I'm seriously fussy :D The standard software is pretty bad - I've found LAME to be the best one, & there's a GUI interface for it which I can't remember the name of which is very good as well.
The units work as an addition to the head unit - the head-unit you have needs to have a line-in on it to get the sound, & you need to find somewhere to put the (cabled) remote control it comes with.
Never had it 'skip', not once. I think they have quite a large read-ahead buffer (I read 2 minutes somewhere) so shouldn't be any problems there!
Lots of other stuff in this area. I don't think I've heard of anyone not being happy with the thing - once it's installed, that is :rolleyes:

Great thanks for that.
Any sites you can recommend?
I own my own computer trade counter so first thing I shall be doing is replacing the harddrive.
But they are very fragile things and I didn't know how they would respond being bounced around while trying to work.

Agree with the above comments... However be careful when changing the hard drive as the operating system only works with certain types of drive i believe (Fujitsu as standard I think)

Better act quick then, as fujitsu have pulled out of the harddrive IDE market they only deal in SCSI now.
