I've had a Brennan for about 3 months and have so far loaded about 300 Cds. I've been surprised by how many, relatively, obscure folky cds are on the database. But about a quarter haven't been. So far I've only added the artist and the CD title, not the individual tracks. Yes you do need speakers. We plug ours into our existing set up but you can buy speakers from Brennan.
