I have had this Music Keg for over 4 years(in my Van and my Magnum)and never a any errors on it. Transferring music is very easy and quick. Menu navigation is a breeze. I don't even play any cd's in my Kenwood 6019. If you eject errors you don't have it mounted correct.

2.0 out of 5 stars Save yourself a heart-attack and get an iPod, October 11, 2006

This review is from: Kenwood KHD-CX910 The Music Keg -- Digital Media Player New Stock (Electronics)

I've had this POS for about 2 years now. Probably 8 months of that it has worked semi-correctly.

I've had to send it in for repairs when it just stopped working once.

The software is HORRID. It is intrusive and ugly. I only changed songs on this thing 3 times. The software was so bad that I would refuse to use it. If this thing worked with iTunes it would be about 3 times better. Plus I was sick of burning all my iTunes Protected .AAC files to CD, only to import them back in as .MP3 (Music Keg of course can't play content downloaded off iTunes natively).

Intermittently, it would stop working and just say EJECT on my CD player. This is the 2nd CD player I've used it with and it did the same thing to both of them. Sometimes ejecting and re-installing the hard disk fixed it. Sometimes disconnecting the power cord did (either side). Sometimes not.

I just got so pissed off at it that I RIPPED it out of my car and threw it out my window while doing 80 on the highway. I hope it exploded into a thousand pieces.

I hate the Kenwood Music Keg and I hate PhatNoise.

The concept is good, and when it worked it was nice. But this was seldom.

Get an iPod with an Alpine headunit and be much happier.
