Summary: Too many glitches
Review: The ideal MP3-CD player would have the performance of the Rio SP90/100/250 and the display of the RCA RP2415. I bought this because I was impressed with the screen and figured that the decoder can't be all that different from the Rio. However, all the CDs which played fine on my Rio SP100 and Memorex 8507 popped, skipped and squealed. Needless to say, I returned the unit. Now it is available with car kit included, but I wouldn't buy it until they fix all the problems. If other players are able to play the files, there must be something wrong with the player, not the files.

Summary: Buyer Beware!
Review: The RP2410 would not play MP3's without skipping and inserting some strange sounds. Tried CD's burned at 4X and 2X. The RCA has some nice features but I just needed it to work. I returned the unit to Radio Shack and purchased the Sony DCJ01. It plays the same CD's perfectly. Love the Sony!

Summary: Skip & Squeek Player
Review: This hunk-a-junk does alright with audio CDs aside from added pauses between tracks, But MP3 playback bites HARD! Skips forward and backward when the player is sitting perfectly still and makes annoying squeeks. The disk browser is excellent, but what is that worth when you can't enjoy the music. I'll be looking elsewhere for my portable MP3 playing needs...

Summary: Good product
Review: This is a great cd player for the price. Good sound, and good quality. To the people that complain about this and other cd players skipping, read the packaging better. Some cd players sold still have little or no non-skip ability. If it doesn't say it on the package it doesn't have it. In addition regular, heavy duty, and some of the cheaper akaline batteries won't last long. You have to get a good name brand battery or rechargeable batteries with a high mah(1300 or better). You can get 2 rechargeable batteries and the charger for under 20 dollars most places, including Target.

Summary: Works Great
Review: This model has worked great. It takes 4 AA's but it also supports recharable batteries. The screen is larger than every other model I have looked at. The best part is the MP3 playback, I was able to fit 200 songs on one CD! And it supports sub folders. As far as some people saying it hisses and skips, I have not seen this. The audio quality is great as long as your MP3s are of the same quality. It doesn't support Direct CD however. I just burn all the mp3s on CDR using EZCD Creator.

Summary: Not a good buy!
Review: This player works extremely well when plugged in and sitting on a stable surface. When you attempt to use it as an actual "walk"man it completely malfunctions. It skips continuously, freezes, won't turn off, and [drains] batteries dry in a matter of hours.

Summary: A hint
Review: We'll it's not perfect, but I have found that when the unit can't track (or skips) MP3 correctly, if I remove the batteries for about 30-60 seconds, and try again, I ususally can get all the tracks on the CD to play well. Some sort of hard reboot. Sometimes I have to so the same on the next CD. Go figure ! At least there's a work around.

Summary: I Will Never Sell One Again
Review: While it appears to be well made, and the interface is wonderful, MP3 playback is horrible. It skips, it pops, it jumps-all without external jostling, despite the claims of high skip protection. At one point I observed it listing a different song than the one playing! After a period of 'warm-up' much of this difficulty disappeared, however, these problems, coupled with the unusual power requirements (4 AA batteries or an 8-volt power adapter-this is a difficulty because car power adapters do NOT come in 8-volt, rather they jump from 7.5 to 9, following the standard 1.5v battery progression), make this a horrid purchase. Of course, the age of this model may be a factor. I hope RCA makes a new one and learns from this mistake of a model.
