Has anyone else bought one of these? The concept is pretty sweet. A diskman that can read MP3 burned CD-R's. I can fit my whole music library onto 7 or 8 CD-R's and take around 2,000 songs with me! This product is going to completely kill all the other MP3 players out there to date. No need to fuss with expensive memory sticks or modules.
But the concept is not working in practice quite yet. At least I can't get it to work so I was hoping one of you knows where I'm screwing up. I've bought a few modles already and they all suffer from some of the same symptoms. First, none of the models ever reads all of the MP3 files I've burned to the CD-R. Supposedly they should be able to find the files in a directory system, but I can only get them to read the files in the root directory; nothing works in the directory tree. And the files it does read in the root directory are often split up into multiple six-second tracks. So when it plays a song, every six seconds there's a pause as it jumps to the next track of the song.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I know this is 1st generation technology, but I kinda doubt that any company would bother putting out such a sh1tty product so the problem probably lies with me and not the machine. Maybe I'll have to take it back and wait for the ones that have the panel screen so that I can see the directory tree. But I've heard those are going to be a few months down the road, and I was hoping to use this thing over Xmas break.
