I remember the 1960's and I haven't passed out. It doesn't appear to be all that  different. I knew people then who never believed we landed on the moon and some still don't,  there have always been idiots who dissmiss facts, reason and truth.

With the SA14s1 you can't download your music to the player it doesn't have an internal hard drive. You can connect a computer to it. You can use usb sticks and external hard drives but it looks like it would be a pain to use those since it plays ...
