After following this thread and the one from the guy on MP3.com about how much better the Aiwa & Kenwood CD/MP3 players are, I still can't figure out if you can actually remove the Aiwa or Kenwood unit, take it into the house or workplace and plug it in and pick up where you left off on the music. As far as I can tell, they are only detachable face units. I spend more time at work and home than in the car, and the empeg goes in to work with me and plays all day, then goes home. The ride is a half hour, work is 12 hours at a time (nearing project end, a new ARM processor with a floating point unit!!! :o) ) so except for the three hour drives for fishing, most of my empeg use is in the office. Check out my set-up here, it's a 95k file, I haven't compressed it yet...
So, basically, it's more than a car mp3 player, it's an "anywhere you have aux input" mp3 player...
