Price Paid:  $299.00 from J & R Music

Summary:
This Jukebox is great in that I am able to load approx. 2,000 songs on it, both from downloaded music stored on laptop and by ripping some of my favorite CD's. I connected to my Denon 3803 using digital optical cable and it sounds really great. I have the Def Tech 2006TL's in home theater set up and it sounds real good. I have burned CD's to play in the car and they sound fine, too I think I am picky when it comes to listening and the jukebox gives youthe ability to rip onto hard drive at 3 different speeds... 128/320 and full CD quality... I can hardly notice the difference, so I have most stuff in 128 and some of my more critical listening music in cd or 320.

Strengths:
Soundis awesome +++, Able to create playlists of 250 songs and then hit random to playback different order. You don't have to look for a CD because everthing is on the hard drive. A few cool features like being able to sort by album name or artist name(but see below).

Weaknesses:
2 major drawbacks... You can't hit random/shuffle for the whole hard drive the way I can on my Archos MP3 player... The lcd screen is too tiny, it could use an onscreen menu... I can't see it from my sitting position... half the fun of having all of your favorite songs in one place is to skip ahead if you want or quickly find a song you want ot hear... but I have to get out of my seat to do that....Am I spoiled... The unit can be had now for $199

Similar Products Used:
Archos MMJB20, AV outs from laptop using Musicmatch, which is great software but the TDK Jukebox has bette sound
