Digital Music Changer - MP3

I took a gamble and bought one of these on e-bay...search item 170124969149

It is a little black box that comes with a harness that snaps directly into the trunk CD changer plug on the back of my head unit. It came in today and I installed it and have been playing with it. Anyone else have one of these? I can find no documentation or clue about it on the web apart from this ebay page. The brand is "M.Costa" and the model is MC-9088. I figured it was a gamble, but for under $100, I figured what the heck if it is nearly as good as it says it is.

One first use & just playing with it, it seems it doesn't work perfectly, but it does work. I'll keep messing with it and perhaps post more if there seems to be an interest in this thread. So far I'm dissappointed in a few functions, but overall still happy with the purchase. The FF & REW doesn't seem to work great, and the 'resume' where you quit playing seems to only work if you turn the radio off and back on, but not if you shut the car off and back on. Maybe I'm doing something wrong & will figure it out. The biggest dissappointment so far has been the lack of a real users manual. The manual that comes with it is nothing more than an installation guide... not a user's guide.

If anyone has messed with one, let me know. I'm going to try the Aux input jack tomorrow...so far I've only run it off of a jump drive. I tried my 80G USB external drive and it seemed to freeze it up... may try that again later.
