great sound for the money, kind of funky operation thru USB

for the size, the sound is hard to beat, loud (again, for the size), surprisingly good bass, and ok highs (crisp but not as good/surprising as the bass part). The USB part is cool; it works with a flash drive, a sandisk mp3 player, and to my surprise a card reader with a seagate 8gb compact flash hard drive. has some problems with older flash drives; they'll only run for ~1 hour after which it turns off, or the repeat function can't figure out where a song ends and another starts, so it'll play half of each... works flawless with newer mp3 players and newer flash drives though.

have yet to try it with an external USB hard drive though, that would be great if it did work.
