It looks great and it is so simple and easy to use! I have no idea why people are saying the interface is bad and it takes a ton of clicks to get anywhere. Maybe they are taking the long way? It takes me no more than 5-10 seconds to make any adjustments. I also find the volume very easy to control. You don't accidentally enter any menus by adjusting the volume. You would definitely have to try to get into the menus. The flip down to access the CD drive is great - it keeps it clean and lasts longer. The colors are great and the removable faceplate keeps the radio from being stolen. The sound clarity is amazing as well. The USB port is great. I just plug in my iPod with the cable that came with it (same one you use to hook it up to your computer). It charges it and I can control the songs right from my radio! No sense in paying for the auxiliary cable PLUS cable to charge it because you can do it all through the USB that came with the iPod. I'm beyond happy with my choice! I would highly recommend this radio and would definitely buy it again. 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. pretty nice By michaelbuddy I purchased this and installed it at a local big box electronics store. I felt it was in the right range for simplicity. Some radios like the Duals might have onboard bluetooth and HD radio included. This one doesn't. But the front plate USB port is simplicity and useful to me right now. i can load up flash drives and take music with me quickly. I havent' tested my creative player yet, but I hope that works too. The look of it is a little less elegant than some of the pioneers and alpines look. The knob feels ok, don't get me wrong, but when you turn it, it's not like it feels expensive. You know how some knobs are just bang on perfect and tight and feel expensive. I like how mine has both blue and green lighting. I'm using green, as I'm tired of blue right now. the buttons are straight forward, the LCD screen is not full pixel LCD, you can kind of see the limits of it, whereas some radios you can play full motion video because it's not locked in to certain lettering. the USB detection has been superfast. that's awesome. Sound is clear. Radio is good. I figured if I want to update it later, by then, HD add-ons will be cheaper in a couple years and i can always get bluetooth added on, or get it through a garmin navi or something. There aren't that many front USB head units. This one, the previous sony (610) and a kenwood were the few. the kenwood's usb has a plastic cap that looks really cheap. This one is nicer. The rest have rear USB piped in from the back into your ashtray or glove box. I dont' like that, I wanted it easy. And I think this newer model navigates songs much better. 25 of 28 people found the following review helpful. Great Radio By Pat OK, I don't listen to music. I listen to books on disk/tape. I bought this radio so I could copy the book onto a USB drive and listen to it on the road. Of course, it's VERY important that the order of the tracks stay the same on the USB drive as they were on the disk. Well, they don't. I kept copying it and trying it and copying it and trying it and the tracts always seemed to be in a random order. No, I didn't have it on Shuffle. I'm kind of a computer geek, so this just drove me crazy. I finally Googled the problem. No matter what order you copy the tracts (files) onto the USB drive, they ACTUALLY are in some internal order based on the FAT table. When you look at the tracts (files) on the USB drive while the USB drive is still hooked up to your PC, you can sort the order you SEE them, but you really are not sorting the order of the tracts (files) on the USB drive; just the way they are presented to you for viewing. I also discovered that "most cheap mp3 players" don't have
