Pelican's Dreamcast MP3 player came in today's mail. It was mailed via UPS in a shoddily-packaged box, which turned out to be a FedEx box turned inside-out. I've never seen such a cheap and amateurish practice by a supposed professional outfit. Amazing…

The product itself at first impressed me by being able to read an HFS+ CD (I had predicted it would demand ISO 9660 format), but not as much as it disappointed me with its inability to recognize MP3 files that don't end in the extension ".mp3". Let's see what their tech support has to say about that.
