The player overall is pretty good. There are still a couple of annoyances with it. One is when using the jog dial to change volume, etc. the display will blink its blue lights.
Another is that when you eject a CD it jumps to the last AM station that you were listening to. Would be nice if you could pick FM instead.
They have fixed some reported issues. When the deck first came out, it would need to re-read the entire MP3 CD when the car was turned off. It now only needs to re-read the CD if it is ejected.
And it doesn't seem to like any Memorex CDRs that I have.
It's well worth getting even with the few little annoyances. Crutchfield has them in stock right now. You can get $25 off if you are a first time buyer from Crutchfield if you give them customer ID 20488689 (put in special messages field, or mention to sales advisor). Mine came to under $285 including shipping.
There is no 8 character file name limit on the Aiwa. The right filename limit is 32 characters as it conforms to the ISO-9660 standards.
And the player also uses ID3v1 tags if they are there. You can ask the display to rotate from current time, track time, filename, ID3 title, ID3 artist, and album name (directory name).
In an effort to make money wherever they can, they publish your first number unless you pay them not to. But for extra numbers you have to pay to get them listed. Your parents said "we don't want to pay for another listing in the book."
And even if it didn't include your address, you now have a last name to go with the phone number. Look in the white pages under the last name until you find the matching phone number. Ta-da!
There are a lot of ISPs who use the copies of Netscape with the built-in PPP dialer that comes pre-configured with their registration phone number, etc.

Freenet is a bad name and should really choose another name. Freenet was already used by the public access internet systems.

I ordered mine on 6/23 and it was shipped on 7/6. It didn't come from Seattle, but from Cluster NJ. Took quite awhile to recieve.
