Any Phat noise owners out there?

I am seriously considering getting a Phat Noise MP3 Player for my 03 330i PP. Does anyone here have one? I'd like to hear the plusses and minuses. Also a good installer? (Washington DC area... or Chicago... or Atlanta)

There was a dude who used to be here who had one, and he just kept recommending it. He said it's real nice except that it gets tough when navigating through multiple directories.

I'm on the edge on this one -- very nice functionality, very high price. I've seen them for $800 with the 30GB capacity.

When they hit about $300, I'll get one.

I have the Kenwood version (Music Keg). It is exactly the same and I love it. I have it connected to the Kenwood 911 headunit that has a six inch pop out screen with touch screen Nav.

The Phatbox (musickeg) works great. I have about 1500 songs (10 meg) on it and it has never hiccuped even once. It's a great product.

I installed a phatnoise brand phatbox in my 2003 330i recently. You don't need to pay a installer. It's easy to do yourself if you already have the CD changer mounting bracket installed. I like it. Works great. Some people on the phatnoise forums have been complaining about the bmw units locking up occasionally, but I've never experienced it (have had mine for about 4 months now). It seems the people with the problems all have the 60GB DMS cartridge.
