Am I correct in assuming all I need to be able to play my MP3's off my CF is a MS, a CF card, and the Eruware driver???

Yes, that is the case. However, you need to aware of some caveats:

1. You need to use the EruWare driver's cloaking mode to play MP3. That means you won't be able to use the MemoryStick slot for the duration of MP3 playback. I have heard of people using elaborate insert/eject maneourve to solve this. I don't bother...

2. I have found sporadic corruption problem when using the background mode of AudioPlayer with the EruWare driver. You can solve this by using "Slow mode".

3. AudioPlayer is pretty poor with playlist management so having 500+ MP3 on your CF kinda becomes unmanagement...

I have switched over to the hacked Sony driver because I of issue 2 and also for video playback. However, I keep the EruWare driver installed on the side just in case...
