it's hard to find anything to complain about with this setup, a 30gb ipod hooked to a sony tr1a with musicmatch software all working and everything but...i noticed when i have the ipod plugged into the cradle and the USB is attached the pc (but of course not active), the sound is all rachet. real bad. pull the ipod from it's little bed and all is well. anyone else notice that? is it a usb cable interference thing?

one other nit...i noticed that unless the power is on to the cradle, that the USB connection never becomes active for syncing...that's strange too. i guess that means i can't sync while i am out trekking in the himalayas...####...:p
