It's in. (A local auto-detailing place put it in for $50.) I'm in the process of experimenting with the best formats for our MP3 CDs.
About the only thing I'm finding myself wishing this could do would be root-level Random Play for MP3s (i.e. one-button random track selection over all folders, not just within the current one). This means that if I want a mix CD, I have to put everything in one folder, so I may end up creating one-folder and multiple-folder discs for the same tracks. But hell, CDRs are dirt cheap these days...
Interestingly, the deck I received doesn't precisely match either Crutchfield's catalog entry for it (the catalog says it has a wireless remote) OR the deck's own manual (the faceplate shows features, such as PTY, that are not pictured in the manual). Perhaps there's more behind the price drop than meets the eye... but it's here and it works and that's good enough for me.
