and they have yet to come up with decent, good looking, good performing unit that interfaces with an MP3 player.

I'll agree that this unit looks great and is designed very well, but when it comes to music, Sony always hits deadpan for me

and FM/CD buttons finally gave up and couldn't start unit after two years and junked it

This unit works great and for the most part is easy to use all it's functions

This unit is pretty good, for it's size, it's certainly nothing elaborate, but the sound is pretty good, for the size of the unit
