The music organisation in a completely different philosophy to the car player. Where as the car player had almost no intelligence in music selection on the unit and left everything to the user as a manual process on the PC, Pearl has all the intelligence in the database but provides only for flat manual playlists. Yes, the ideal solution would be to have both, but if you only have time to do one of them for 1.0 then the empeg system isn't saleable and the Soup/RioDJ system is.

We do have one of the best running order editors I've seen on any portable, though.

If any non-US BBS people want to get a Pearl I can look into some kind of group purchase when players are shipping.
