I bought one of these units back in December 03 and have been very happy with it. I use it in my truck with the car kit, and as a traditional walkman. Plus my girlfriend keeps liberating it to take to school with her :-) Sonic Stage 1.5 (included) is a very stable and easy to use program, but has the drawback of three checkouts per track. I did however find it very easy to import my MP3 files as well as rip my CD's into it directly. I've been playing with Sonic Stage 2.0 lately and it doesn't seem to like my MP3's, but i'm not sure if it's the program or just me trying to use it while exhausted. Plus the line in option is VERY handy, especially with Princess Auto selling the TOSLink cable for MD recorders for about $4.00 canadian
