Absolutely no skipping since I''ve bought this beauty! Reads burned cds. No magazines necessary!

CDs load up in like 10 secs. If you''re finicky about that, that might be a problem.

I bought this for about $500 including install. (It kinda cost me a grip!) I''ve had this unit for a long time which is connected to my KEH-7800 (tape deck). I have no complaints about this thing. It reads burned cds. Considering that Pioneer has jumped on the MP3 bandwagon recently, I''d like to see Pioneer push the envelope and implement a CD/MP3 changer to complete my sound system!
