General Comments
The PJB is the size of a small Walkman. It has a 4.6 Gig laptop drive and can store about 80 audio CDs.
It can play just about any bitrate, including VBR. The fideltiy of the unit is excellent. It has a Li Ion battery with a 10 hour life, and can
be recharged in 3 hrs. It comes with Personal Jukebox Manager software, which installed in about 10 minutes.
The software will let you rip audio CDs direclty into the player or you can download existing
MP3s from your hard drive.
The unit comes with a nice case with a belt clip, an AC adaptor, a USB cable, the software and a good manual.
There is a cool online support group on
