I've thought of the same idea... would make for a wikkid CD unit w/out any flaws compared to vinyl. I'm sure it's just around the corner.

Pfft...looks way to complicated, how the hell are you suppost to find tunes on that tiny screen? The last thing you want to be doing is fiddling with all the knobs and buttons on that thing when playing live, especially if you never used one before. How much music do you need anyway...chances are the longest your going to be playing is about 2 hours.

I'm sure it's not that difficult dude, practise makes perfect as with most things. And if I could have all my rec's and CD's on one portable platform - I'd consider that a pretty good thing!

Yeah...I spose it has features, but does it make toast? If it does I would be tempted.

how do you work that out

a circular LCD panel on the platter showing you the grooves, as if it were a record.....compared to a flat wave display on a monitor.
