Empeg For Sale
Aug. 17th, 2002 02:16 pmHm, I oughta mention this here, too:
I am trying to sell my 36 gig Empeg MP3 car stereo. The Empeg is the best MP3 car stereo ever made, which is not exactly a hard statement to make (since there've been few of these on the market) but true nonetheless. It's just a little dashboard computer running linux with 36 gigs of disk space that plays your MP3s. You pull it out of the dashboard, hook it to your computer via USB, and download the MP3s with the software provided; then you stick it back in your dashboard and cruise down the road listening to tunes. You can also play Tetris on it.
It does not have an FM tuner out of the box; Rio made a radio tuner addon for a short while. They aren't selling 'em any more but you can find 'em on EBay.
Lots more details at http://www.riocar.org/.
I'm looking for around $800 for this -- that seems to be the going price. It's never been out of the box and has all the original cables and stuff.
