That's how i used my DMP1. The screen stopped working after less than 3 months. The dmp1 seriously blows nuts. Buy at your own risk. Be prepared to want to buy an empeg afterwards -- i thought just like you "hey! i could get 3 of these for an empeg"...guess what? I bought one dmp1 and decided it was well worth the cost for an empeg...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif The lack of a DIN slot is a problem, though. Be warned, though, not mounting the faceplate resulted in mine breaking..and i was meticulously careful with it.
Also, it's not PAUSING to choose more songs...it's STOPPING. You have to stop playing the current song, then select the next one. And you HAVE to do that, if the next track doesn't happen to be in the same genre/hierarchy that the current one is in. The dmp1 doesn't support playlists at all...it just supports a basic folder hierarchy...select folder, play all inside...just like your deck.
The wireless support from the DMP1 sucks also...with the custom kernels it never worked right, and with the original it never worked right. Go figure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
It is strange that there are no other alternatives...but consider this; when the Empeg Riocar was released in 1999/2000, it cost just under 1000$ retail. For the 20gb one. 370$ for a 60gb with an extra drivebay free for another up to 120gb drive (and you could replace the original 60gb with another 120gb giving you 240gb right there) is a great deal //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif The prices on the empeg dropped through the floor after they were discontinued...a know 2 people that bought TWO of them; they are that convinced that they will not be replaced by anything better in the near future. And to their credit, they bought theirs 4 years ago...and 4 years later, there still isn't anything NEAR comparable to the empeg.
