Amazon.com Product Description
Designed specifically for busy professional and amateur digital photographers, the Wolverine ESP portable multimedia storage device lets you store and view thousands of photos, songs, and video files in a single convenient device. Digital photographers typically have to purchase multiple memory cards if they want to take a ton of photos while traveling. With the ESP, however, you need only a single card, as the unit's 120 GB hard drive stores the rest. When your camera's memory card is full, simply pop it in the Wolverine ESP's built-in 7-in-1 card reader. With the press of a button, the device transfers all of your photos and digital camera video data into a portable, self-powered mass storage unit. Once the contents of your card are safely stored in the ESP's memory, you can re-fill your memory card with brand-new photos--all without going anywhere near a computer. And because the device is battery powered, you can literally save your data anywhere in the world. It's perfect for traveling, sharing data during meetings, and just about any other on-the-go situation.
The ESP also includes a razor-sharp 3.6-inch LCD screen, letting you view stored photos and videos without plugging them back into your camera. Among the compatible photo formats are JPEG, Bitmap, Tiff, Text, and RAW images, while compatible video formats include MPEG-1, MPEG-4, WMV 9, and XviD. And as with many digital cameras, the ESP prints directly to a printer to save time and energy. The device is no slouch from an audio perspective, either, with support for MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, ACC (MP4 audio), and CDA formats. In addition, the unit's drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy to transfer music files from your computer and play them instantly. As a final bonus, the ESP includes a built-in FM radio with 18 presets that lets you listen to and record your favorite FM programs.
Other details include zoom, rotate, and slide show functions; an included A/V cable for connecting the ESP directly to any TV, projector, or stereo system; and compatibility with a separately sold cradle system that lets you record directly from a TV, DVD, VCR, camcorder, or other video source. The ESP measures 5.3 by 2.8 by 0.9 inches (W x H x D), weighs 10.2 ounces with the lithium-ion battery, and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Professional photographers will love this must have device!.......2007-12-04
I have the ESP 100gb version of the Wolverine. This is a must have for any photographer that makes their living from their photo files. This device is always with me at every shoot and allows me to effortlessly archive my .raw files immediately after swapping cards in my Nikon D200 - the old card comes out of my camera and straight into the ESP. I never leave a job without the shoot "in the can".
The ESP also lets me review the files with the client on a larger screen than the camera (it even has a slideshow mode). Or I can plug it into a monitor using the remote recording/playback cable (which does everything the dock does, except charge the unit, for a lot less money).
One of the nicest features is the ability to save hundreds of hours of audio recorded through the on-board microphone. Though the audio files are a proprietary mono format (there is aftermarket software that will allow you to convert the files to play on other devices) the device has come in handy to record interviews with my clients and for other meetings many times with excellent results.
I agree that a playlist feature would be nice but it is a small inconvenience for having an archive vault that will fit in my pocket (I never keep the ESP in my camera bag... I keep it on my person so if anyone ever steals my bag or it is confiscated by TSA, I have all of my work safely with me.
I just finished a 70 day road trip and took 10,000 .raw files along the way (www.scottyanddeb.blogspot.com). Every file fit nicely on the ESP (close to 80gb total).
128 GB limit on disk drive.......2007-05-04
I just wanted to let people know that the operating system has a 128 GB limit due to address bits, so even if you buy a 160 GB drive for it, only 128GB will be visable. To change the disk you only need to remove 2 screws - the one under the square silver warantee void sticker (which goes back OK) and its counterpart. The drive cover then slips off, you remove the old drive, install the new one (80,100,120,160 GB but 128 max capacity) and put only those 2 screws back in (don't mess with the two deep screws) - now go to the drive which will have a red NFA on it (Not FormAteed) - menu click on it and click format drive - it takes 30 seconds or so for a 160 to be a 128, and then you have the maximum capacity. With the price of drives dropping, their cheaper model plus a 120GB drive at a discount is a 5 minute swapout, plus you can put the 80 GB into a portable USB drive case. I did this when I first bought my 80 GB with plans to upgrade it when drive prices fell far enough and got 128 instead of 80 GB on my mp3 player / camera dumper / usb2.0 disk.
I still think the Wolverine is a great overall product and beats the apple version feature wise (but not thickness wise) - being able to dump my CF cards on vacation to the MP3 player is a significant feature that the pod's dont have.
Hope that helps - the drive upgrade is simple, 5 minutes, and needs a Philips #00 screwdriver to complete.
Excellent item.......2007-02-11
Prior to purchasing the Wolverine EPS 120, I owned an Archos Jukebox v.2 20 gig MP3 player. The player had a small screen and was not very intuitive to navigate. (Replacing the native OS with Rockbox OS helped tremendously.)
My primary reasons for purchasing this player were to be able to backup pictures from my Fujifilm S9100, to have a backup of critical data files, and play MP3 and OGG files. So far, the Wolverine does all of these beautifully. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the device could view the RAW files from my digicam.
My only complaint is the lack of an easy-to-use playlist. Currently, you have to go through several arcane levels of menus (like loading files and then putting the jukebox into the background to be able to add more files). This may be fixed in future firmware updates.
It does an awful lot!!.......2007-02-11
I tend to stay away from the mainstream devices, and when my 80 GB Neuros couldn't do all I wanted it to do, I started looking for something else. I originally was looking at the Archos series, but I wanted something that would store .RAW pictures from my digital camera when traveling. Then I found this. In a word, it's awesome. Holds tons of media, to the point where I have a lot of extra space right now. Nice sized screen for watching movies and viewing photos, not a little teeny screen like the Creative and the iPod. It will allow you to store your photos on it while traveling, and the biggest bonus of all, it has a removable battery. You can buy an extra one, and just change them while on the road. This little powerhouse will allow you to leave the laptop at home, while still being able to watch films, listen to music, and check out all the great pictures you took while traveling. It also has a built-in audio recorder, which can be a nice feature. I'm looking forward to getting the cradle so that I can use it as a DVR too. The downsides include the size - it's a little bigger than the Creative Vision or the iPod, and in order to play all your tracks at random, you have to create a playlist for all of your tracks and then hit random play. I enjoyed just being able to hit play on my Neuros and have it play everything at random without a playlist. On the brightside though, it doesn't have it's own proprietary software, so it can work with any media player on the PC to set up playlists, etc. If you're looking for a tiny player, then this isn't it. If you're looking for a great player, then give this some serious consideration.
Highly Recommended for Photographers.......2007-02-09
I have been delighted with my Wolverine ESP 120 GB player. It shines at displaying photos with a bright, reasonably sharp image and the company takes pains to update the firmware to support new RAW formats as they appear. It has slots for nearly all types of flash cards and uploads files quickly. It's got adequate battery power for any reasonably sized card and I can't imagine it running out of juice during photo uploads or out of space to store photos with its big 120 GB drive. If you want, you can see a histogram and some metadata for a photo file, a nice extra touch.
The ESP has good sound and comes with a nice pair of comfortable earphones. An added plus is the FM radio.
There are a few things I didn't like. The ESP has a small speaker but sound output is very weak. The FM radio uses the earphone cord as an antenna and plugging in the headset disables the speaker so you can't listen to FM radio at all through the speaker. The ESP will not play protected audio files so you can't listen to downloadable library audiobooks or purchased music on it. A big drawback is the lack of bookmarking. I have some mp3 audiobooks that I can play on the ESP but after turning the machine off and then on again, I have to start at the beginning of the book and find the spot where I left off. I emailed Wolverine about this and they say they have had trouble progamming in this feature. Hopefully they will figure out how to do this eventually. Meanwhile, I carry an iPod on trips to listen to my audiobooks. These complaints aside, I am thrilled with the device.
Product Description
Crosley Radio reintroduces the Original Record Changer. This classic spin on an old time favorite takes you back to the days when listening to records was as easy as stacking them tall and walking away. With The Traveler, your music went where you went. This portable player ensured that the Friday night sleepover at Susie's was sure to be a gas because you'd rock and roll to your favorite tunes until the sun came up. And by the end of the 1960's, the oh-so-memorable record changer was basically a staple in every American household. Crosley's Stack-O-Matic Technology ensures you'll once again be able to enjoy your favorite hits uninterrupted, one after another. With a fully automatic swinging motion, the arm reaches the stack and marvelously drops your next favorite album gracefully on the platter. Exclusively from Crosley Radio, Stack-O-Matic Technology is sure to amaze you with this new twist on an old favorite.
Amazon.com Product Description
Crosley Radio's Traveler Stack-o-Matic record changer offers a fresh spin on an old-time favorite. Reminiscent of stackable '60s-era portable turntables, the Stack-o-Matic stores up to six full-size LPs or 45s at once and automatically plays them in sequence. When one record finishes, the turntable's fully automatic changer reaches across the stack and gracefully drops the next album on the platter. The mechanism recalls the days of sock hops and sleepovers, when stackable record changers served as cool currency for all-night rock 'n' roll sessions. Even better, the turntable is not only a gas to watch, but is completely portable thanks to the integrated housing that folds up like a suitcase.
Users with diverse album collections will appreciate the Stack-o-Matic's support for 7-, 10-, and 12-inch records and its three playing speeds (33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm). Meanwhile, the adjustable tone control gives listeners plenty of audio flexibility. The Traveler Stack-o-Matic also boasts such features as a belt-drive motor, an automatic tone arm, a diamond-stylus needle, and a pair of dynamic full-range stereo speakers built into the case. And at 19.5 by 8 by 14.25 inches (W x H x D) when closed, the turntable stores easily in a closet or other out-of-the-way location.
The Stack-o-Matic, which comes in a classic brown/tweed color, weighs 18.5 pounds and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

Very Good Replica & Sounds Better Than The Original.......2007-10-19
I'm very pleased with the Crosley Stack-O-Matic. It's an excellent replica of the original except that I believe it sounds better. The stacking feature works flawlessly and the portability is a real plus. Competititve price with immediate shipping. Very satisfied.
A View from Overseas.......2007-03-10
It makes old records sound good again. It has a precise auto-change mechanism, a default spindle setup for our small centre holes, and the sound quality from the speakers with a Tone only dial, is similar to listening to a mono radio. It's all good when playing our old records (45s that are 45 years old) because modern sound systems exaggerate the faults as in hiss, crackle and pops. Children are discovering the slower pace while watching the records drop and listening to songs that tell stories with lyrics that make sense. The reason for only 4 stars is because the styli are not sold to countries outside of the States. I am having to get them delivered to a friend first before being forwarded to me in New Zealand. I am going to pursue this with the NZ supplier.
It's so nice to get the records out again and turn the T.V. off for the evening.
Just like I remember.......2007-02-07
We bought a different turntable for my 86 year old Mom and you had to pick up the arm and set it on the record. Well, my Mom is going blind and it was hard for me to do it much less Mom. We returned the "All-in-one player" and bought this model. It was just like we remembered when we were kids. Mom can stack the albums, yes I said albums, put the holding arm over them, and turn it on. It is so easy for her to use and the sound is just great. Mom can enjoy her music again and not have to figure out some new-fangled-contraption. Thank you Crosley for giving my Mom back her tunes.

Great product.......2007-02-06
I was worried about the sound quality on one of these portable record players but this one is great. I'm really happy with it. It looks really cool - great design. The stackomatic feature is nice, it automatically drops and plays your records. It even will repeat the same record over and over and over which is nice while cleaning your house etc, etc. With all my music on my computer, and no need for a home stereo anymore, this was a great way to keep my records around while getting rid of the big ugly and bulky stereo system.
Get Your Old Vinyl Out And Enjoy.......2006-03-04
As the owner of a Zenith Cobramatic HF11 that stacks up to 16 45's and LP's, the Stack o Matic is a wonderful and new look on a old perspective of listening to music, the way records used to be listened to. They are attractive players, with good sound, and with the automatic record changer, makes listening to your old recordings a pleasure. The sound quality of the Stack o Matic is very similar to the Decca Record Players of the late 50's and early 60's, with just volume and tone. The sound on the Traveler, to me, is better than the Varsity and Collegiate models, seems to have a tad of bass at times once you're used to it. There are two speakers together on the side of the player, and do have true stereo separation (play the stereo version of "Reflections" by The Supremes and sit close, the intro has a great seperation of sound sequence) but at a short distance, the sound appears to blend and is more like mono, kinda cool cause mono sound was the only way to hear them at that time. Using the enclosed red record adapters are a chore, and there are 45 spindle adapters, capable of holding 6 to 7 45's available. I do not recommend the stack mate adapter that is sold directly through crosley, because, at times, certain 45 rpms get stuck on the adapter and do not drop all the way because the hole on the record is a tad smaller. The record either drops and sticks halfway, causing the tone arm to bump against it and land on the turntable. Or the record drops to the turntable, but does not turn because the adapter is too thick causing the turntable to scratch the flip side of the record. Trying the same records on another adapters, such as a BSR work fine. Crosley should remodify their stackmate, and make it a micro tad smaller in width so that all records should drop normally. A drawback is that when the changer shuts itself off, it does not turn off the amplifier and you have to turn it off with the volume switch manually. The changer works fine and is effortless, needle replacement is easy. Maybe one day Crosley in the future would offer seperate bass/treble adjustments to enrich the sound further, like the Zenith Cobramatic of the 60's. Crosley should have also provided carrying handles on their Varsity Models, which many suitcase record players had. All and all, the Stack O Matic is a very good record player. The Traveler is attractive, and with the carrying handle, is great to take to parties and gatherings. You will get a lot of compliments on it. When the record changer cycles it's last record, it locks the tone arm onto the holder, good for traveling. Also a good tip is to screw the changer back into storage position (screws up) when transporting to avoid vibration on the springs, you can do it by hand, and just unscrew back when ready to play.
