- I've got one, and I'm generally happy with it, but I don't really
- have any experience with other players to compare it with.

- I've never had this happen. The only problem I've had is that once the
- player somehow got confused as to which disk it was playing. ie it was
- playing disk 1, but displayed '3'. I had to do quite a bit of fiddling
- to get it back. That only happened once, though.

- The "file" feature is useful. It allows you to program all the tracks you
- like from a particular disk, then, whenever that disk is inserted in the
- unit again, it will only play those tracks. Of course, you can by-pass
- that if you want to play all the tracks, or do a one-off program.
