Summary: The Best CD Player on the market for the price
Review: I purchased this CD player several months ago and have had no complaints. It recieves the radio signal clear and strong. I shake it in my hand it won't skip a beat when playing a CD. I even dropped it on the floor several times and it still plays. The last time I dropped it on the floor the parts that keep it closed broke off. I have to keep it closed with tape. But guess what, it still plays like a dream.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Ok, but not the best
Review: For the price, this is a good MP3/CD player. The AM/FM tuner is great and is hard to find in other models and the battery life is excellent. But clearly the max sound volume is extremely weak. I like to listen to music while mowing the lawn, but that's practically impossible with this unit. And another major drawback is the horrible "random" feature. I must've listened to the same song 4 times in one three hour car ride out of a possible 150 songs! Still, good bang for the buck.

PROs:
- AM/FM tuner
- Good battery life
- Decent sound quality
- Sleek, lightweight design
- Good price

CONs:
- Very weak max volume
- Inability to FF/REW in MP3 tracks
- Random/Shuffle feature is horrible

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: i'm back... and i'm mad!
Review: I have had this CD player for about a year, and have thoroughly enjoyed using it. I use it every day while commuting between home and work. I have never had any problems with CD skipping, radio reception, or battery life. In fact, I have only changed the batteries three times in the year that I have had it--and I use it five days a week!

I, too, had the cd-tray latch pop off, but it only happened when I recently dropped the player on the ground. A quick call to Panasonic Parts got me a replacement latch--and it only cost me $5 (including shipping). The $5 I paid for the replacement part is a steal compared to what I would have paid for a new player of the same caliber.
