Good sound, ramdonization, and the concept of an internet interface for song information downloading.

The NetNamer software is horrible. If you can get it working at all it is very difficult and flakey to use. As an engineer I see huge potential in this type of software linked to this type of equipment - very little of that potential has been realized.

I like it. I bought this a long time ago, mostly because I don't like listening to DJs and commercials on the radio... I can load this baby up with a bunch of good CDs and just hit the randomize button - done. I have a large (1500+) collection of CDs and have been trying to use the NetNamer software to create an inventory. I started trying to do this about...2 years ago? The software is so buggy and clumsy that it is almost useless. I finally got it working recently and have realized that the disc information stored in the files is just the song title and disk name - not the artist. So I have to ask - why wouldn't you dump everything if you were going to create the download functionality??? Comes with an IR keyboard and small remote - I don't really use either one. Entering your CD information by hand isn't really an option if you are changing bunches of CDs regularly.
