[Empeg-general] Re: Phat Noise

[dsroberti@empegbbs-noreply.merlins.org]

A friend of mine at work got the DigMedia product this past week (<a href='http://www.digmedia.cc' target='_blank'>www.digmedia.cc</a>). Seeing that and the PhatNoise thing in the same week (as well as the incredible publicity blitz for the Nomad from <a href='http://www.creative.com' target='_blank'>Creative</a>) made me marvel over how much demand there is for these kinds of products and how utterly slow the major consumer electronics manufacturers are being on this front. 

Kenwood and AIWA have their CDR units out, but this seems like a pretty poor solution to me. Would you really go out to your car every time you bought a new CD to fill up any remaining room on existing CDs, or would you just burn a new one? From my perspective, I'd end up having almost as many CDRs in my car as I would if these were simply standard CD players. 

Any word or even hints from the Sony/Kenwood/Alpine/whoever crowd about hard drive-based units? If one of these companies offered to purchase empeg, would they bite?
