Summary: RCA RP2410 CD Player is a piece of crap
Review: ... It is a huge piece ... It won't even turn on without having to take out the batteries and putting them back in every single time. And when you do get it to work, and you open the latch to listen to a new CD, it won't work again. ...

Summary: RCA RP2410 Personal CD Player With MP3 Playback
Review: ...My biggest two gripes are that it makes a high pitch noise continuously and occassionally snaps. This happened while I listened to many regular store bought audio cd's also. Most of the problem was solved by turning off the ESP, but that didn't help in MP3 playback, only in CD. Even with the ESP off the CD playback had crackling noise which I don't understand at all. Someone at RCA needs to be fired for this, bad quality, but cool grey design. I think I might return the insides and frame the shell. Piece of!

Summary: Doesn't Work
Review: After burning a disc full of mp3s I had no luck trying to play music on the RCA RP2410. Several more attempts with different CD R Discs and still no luck. It did play regular CD's just fine. I don't think they've worked the kinks out of this product yes. My opinion is to look elsewhere for a portable MP3 solution.

Summary: Not the best
Review: Doesn't support disk at once! Skips like crazy on most CDR especially with mp3 data! Slight hiss in audio! display needs backlight! I tried all sorts of media to test this device on, sometimes it played ok, (by ok I mean not skipping constantly) and other times it sounded like I was holding down the >> and << at the same time. The player was very slow at starting up especially on mp3 CDR. The hiss in the audio was mainly annoying in between tracks---(a longer wait than normal)---but not as much as some i've tried. The display isn't backlit so you have to hold it just right to see what song is selected. On the good side, the anti skip feature worked well... You can shake the heck out of it and no skips especially with mp3 media, aside from the normal non-shock induced skipping that occurs on most cds that play just fine in a PC CDROM.

Summary: Piece O' [junk]
Review: Granted, there were a couple of things I liked about this MP3 CD player, I did like the headphones and the display and the menues. However, considering it ceased functioning less than TWO days after I purchased it, I would not recommend it to anyone! The evening that I bought the RCA RP2410 it worked just fine. The next day, however, it kept freezing in the middle of a song, and yes, like so many others, I had to keep removing the batteries every five minutes to reset it. Then, I dropped it. Yes, I know that that is not the best thing for a CD player, but it wasn't very far, or hard, and it happended while I was trying to reinsert the batteries! Well, after that, it just kept telling me that the lid was open and stopped functioning all together. I returned it the next day and payed to upgrade to a Rio SP100 which is a far superior MP3-CD player (although not without a few glitches). So, please do not waste your time or money on the RCA RP2410!

Summary: RCA - Not ready for MP3 playback prime time!!
Review: I am on my second unit having returned the first - this one is no better. Problem is with MP-3 playback on burned CD-R's - using two different burners. Awful noises (screeches & squeals) at random intervals (will play file fine - then have problem on later play). This with 650MB CD-R's (different brands), all at 128 bitrate, all at 192 bitrate also. Unit locks up randomly to the point I have to remove & replace batteries to get it back.
This unit is junk for mp3's. Plays music cd's great.

Summary: Same problem with RCA RP2410
Review: I bought an RCA RP2410 this week and proceeded to try it and found that it only plays pre-manufactured CDs well. Anything I've made either won't play at all, or will play a song, but then refuse to start the next track. I decided to look for reviews of this player online, and found just one here, which, by the way, says the same thing I've encountered. Haven't tried one of my own MP3 discs on it, but will make one and try, but even if it does work, I'm likely to return it, because the product still only delivers half of what it promises, that is it plays MP3s but will not play CD-Rs. Oh well, it's a great concept, and I do hope RCA will iron the bugs out of this.

Review: I bought that about a year ago and it seemes like its pretty good. The only bad thing about it that i think it has short battery life.

Summary: Don't waste your time and money!
Review: I bought this brand new, factory sealed, and I couldn't even get it to play a regular CD bought in the store without skipping like crazy! Trying to play a CD-R was even worse. It would either skip or just lock up. Another piece of junk made in China. The volume settings are not gradual. It's either off or too loud. Since I couldn't even play a regular store bought CD without it skipping constantly, I didn't waste any more time by burning MP3's. I immediately returned this player and put the money towards the Rio SP250 which is completely awesome! You have to pay a lot more for it though. Since the Rio is also made in China, I bought the extended two-year warranty. I just wish I would have read the reviews before I purchased the RCA. Don't make the same mistake I did! Listen to the reviews. Don't waste your time and money on the RCA!

Summary: Quite pathetic, really...
Review: I bought this in a shop, not on Amazon. I tried it in the shop, and was fooled. It seemed to work fine with the mp3 CD I tried it with, didn't skip even though I shook it. What a fool I was.Two things are awful with this player: the skipping and the battery life. This thing takes FOUR AA BATTERIES!!! Does it last long for that price? NO! It sucks the life out of rechargeable AA batteries like nothing, with about 8 hours of playback max (that's on FOUR batteries, where most other players offer 12+ on 2!!!). Because of the four batteries it is pretty big: most of the player is of reasonable thickness but there's a big bulge at the back where you put the batteries. The other deadly flaw is the skipping. Yeah, I tried it in the shop, but the 100 seconds anti-skip is really literal. Start walking with this thing, and (if your CD is clean and well burnt) you'll have 100 seconds of good playback. Then it will start skipping unless you stop walking. Holding it in your hands and trying to compensate the shocks/oscillations of walking is not enough, you actually have to STOP and let it fill its buffer again. And once you've done that, you've got another 100 seconds, then rinse and repeat. Not just that, but (generally especially on the songs where you just really pray for it not to skip cause you like them), it skips back and forth, sometimes giving up and going to the next song. The only good sides of this player are that the display/seeking (once you've gotten use to the unintuitive interface, eg using the volume buttons, hidden on the side, to go up and down a listing...) actually works. This is better than the NAPA DAV310 I had before (which was by far even worse). And it doesn't skip much in the car, either, so long as your CDs are clean. I would not recommend buying this to anyone. Daniel
