Scratching his headAh ha! Good question indeed! At least not everybody has gone to sleep...I almost did, so sorry about the late reply...but to cut the long story short: yes, you can add, delete/ remove songs from this device. It's easy to do, using the Playcenter 2 software that comes with the package. This software also contains a built-in CD burner, which means that you can burn MP3 songs from your CD direct onto your Jukebox...pretty handy function.

I hope that was helpful...I should've mentioned it earlier...but I always forget. *laughs*

noticing a raised hand in the peanut gallery. Yes, you have a question?
Little Old Lady
Little old gray haired lady, looking slightly amazed, nervously speaks.
I don't really understand all this technical stuff sonny, but dag nab it! this little record player sounds too good to be true.
I've been lookin at a lot of these gadgets and they all seem to have these flash thingys and once you get music on them, thats it!
You can't change your mind and delete some or add anymore.
So If I heard you right...this here one has a disc drive...which means you can delete and add or whatever?
You know sonny us ladies change our minds a lot about how to arrange the furniture and what kinda music we like from week to week lol.
the entire room waits expectantly in silence for Andrew's reply..............

I was wondering why you haven't been on in a while! I hope your parents will at least let you chat with me on MSN.

Glad you liked an attempt that I made to be successful, where I failed elsewhere! :( Thanks for adding me...it's a real honor that comes around so rarely that it's incredibly special!

Welcome to my WOT, Andrew, long overdue because of my lapse of concentration between ISP problems, ringing telephones, and sleep. Loved it, loved it, loved it!

Thanks so much...I rarely experiment, probably because I'm afraid to. If only I could experiment with humour! I've yet to write reviews as interesting and witty as yours! :)

Re: poster (Reply to this comment)
by Andrew_Lim
yep...that's the one...the picture is rather blurred, but it's quite clear that the object is a UFO...which is actually Agent Mulder's major preoccupation when at work...he is probably one of the few who believe in UFOs and alien abductions.

Haha...don't worry mate...that's not a cigarette. It's a Cap Gun! Those things are banned in Singapore because it uses explosives, but I can still get them here in Australia...wanted to use it to add a little more style to the pic.

The poster in the background was unconsciously included, but it's from X-Files, and it says "I want to Believe!" I guess that makes me a budding FBI agent then! Glad you asked me about it! :)

I can't stand Shakespere. By the way, what are you holding in your picture? Please don't tell me it is a ciggarete!

*lol* honestly...Shakespeare freaks me out with all his "Thou, 'Tis and Thee" stuff...but I use them occasionally for intimidation! :) Thanks for commenting!

Excellent piece here, Andrew. I must agree with the other comments. The creativity and work put in here astounds me and you've definitely gone against the grain in this section. Keep up the good work.

Takes a very phony, humble bow.
Thank you! I'm glad people were actually listening to me... :D I really wonder who threw the tomato...perhaps it's another silly figment of my imagination!

Are you caught up in the MP3 craze as well? It's really expensive, but I guess somewhat rewarding...thanks for the comment!

Re: Very+nicely+done... (Reply to this comment)
by Andrew_Lim
Very true...I must agree these were initially very pricey at US$500 a piece. Since then the price has dropped...I got mine for $599 (Singapore), and obtained a set of speakers for free!

I guess electronics get cheaper and better with time...now there're even hardware upgrades for the Jukebox, such as a hard drive upgrade from 6GB to 20GB or 30GB...but to me, that's a plain waste of money...thanks for the comment!

Just waiting for the price to drop on these babies, then maybe I'll buy one.

Great review.

I guess it's because I got bad breath and bad humour! *lol* feeling really high now. =) Thanks for the chat that time...really needed to take my mind of things.
