This is the regular price on the unit. I bought it from the store 2 months ago for the same price.

that's what i was thinking too. it is a non-name brand type player with many features (much like getting a cheap DVD player made by aspire digital or something). now if the kenwood unit that the above poster mentioned was for $80 bucks, THAT would be hot.

I can't believe they would limit it like that.yup...i can't believe it either...the guy i talked to seemed a little slow on the ball, but he DID go and ask someone else who said the max was 128...just called again (800) 445-1797, but no answer.

can anyone verify this?

Maybe it can let you have multiple folders, each with a max of 128 files/songs. Of course, this is just a guess on my part....

I brought this unit from WalMart back in April and installed in my Honda. I am very happy with this unit.
It can play over 200 songs on my SD card (1 gig) with no problem. It said that it can support up to a 2 Gig SD card.
It also worked with 1 Gig USB drive and the CD players played my 700MB CD with MP3 songs with no problem.

This is a good unit for the price.

Of course, this is just a guess on my part....just spoke to larry at Roadmaster...he said that they never tested with that many songs, but they are getting a lot of reports from customers that 128 is limit...after that, it won't read any more tracks...my SoundStorm does the same at 500 tracks.

larry said he's been swamped with calls and hasn't had a chance to test himself...i'm assuming if multiple customers are reporting this, then 128 is most likely going to be the limit...i have a feeling that most people that have a head unit with usb/sd are geeks (like me) and have a pretty good idea what they're doing when it comes to technology; therefore, the reports are prolly accurate.

Anyone confirm?

If you're copying them as "data files" and they're not working in other players, double check that the windows security didn't lock them down. I copied half a dosen CDs after windows media player 10 before I realized that the security turned back on. Make sure you turn off "copy protect music" under tools - options - rip music. I have found no great way to remove the security after the fact, so you should just delete the songs on your computer and rip them again with the protection off.
