Bruce, I agree completely. I just bought a stream a couple of weeks ago and I love it. I use it for books and music and wouldn't be without it. When not using it with headphones I'm plugging it into a set of speakers where it sounds great too. It's a great way to listen to Audible books, which i use a lot.The only thing that I didn't buy as part of the package was their Sd card. I wanted 16 gigs and got a much better card price with lots more size at Tiger Direct.
