Summary: Worked at first, then went downhill from there
Review: I bought this product about 3 weeks ago. I thought at first, what a great deal. It worked absolutely fine with regular burned cd's that I had made on my computer. I also burned an MP3 CD with about 120 songs on it. It also worked pretty well. After about 1 week of use it was still working fine. One thing I did not like at all was the 25+ second start up to play a MP3 CD. I found this to be a very long time to wait for it to start up. The 4 line LCD screen was great. The buttons felt pretty crappy to push and it was pretty fat and heavy... Soon i started to see many problems. My MP3 CD no longer wanted to play correctly. Many times it would start up and after playing the first 4 songs, stop the music, search for the next track for about 20 seconds then display "Disc Error". I would restart the system, wait another long 25 seconds, and start the cd over. About 4 tracks later the same thing happened. This (ticked) me off. So i burned another cd. This didn't solve the problem. I couldnt skip tracks, or else "Disc Error" would appear.Instead i would have to search for the track, then play it. Also, this did not always work. I got really (ticked) and wanted my money back. I returned it and now am getting a Rio Volt SP90. I heard it got great reviews with no "Disc Error" ever! Don't waste your money. If only the (darn) thing would work, i would be happy.

Summary: Not so durable
Review: I purchased my first Memorex MP3-CD player about a year ago. It lasted about 100 days and then it stopped recognizing the cd. I contacted Memorex and they replaced my CD-player with a new one. A year later I am starting to run into the same problems. Otherwise, the CD player was OK.

Summary: broken after 2 months
Review: this was a great cd/mp3 player....for about 65 days. I used it very lightly-about 20 minutes a day walking to class, then all of a sudden it won't recognize cds, it always says "no disc." beware of this because amazon won't take exchanges or returns after 30 days, and now I'm out 50 bucks.

Summary: Simply OK
Review: It is nice to have lots of music to listen to- so much music in fact that my batteries usually wear out before the cd is done.But I've yet to have a listening experience in which the player doesn't skip. The player skips A LOT. If it was just once and a while I could over look it, but it is more like every other song, and frequently several times during one song. This gets irritating quickly. I'm spending more money next time and getting something decent.

Summary: This Player rocks
Review: ...My experience with it have been awesome. I have used it extensively to play both normal music cds and mp3 cds and it's been great. It skips a fraction if you listen to a mp3 cd using batteries, but doesn't if you use the adapter. The quality of playback is pretty good. And contrary to what others say, the operations are not that tough to figure out. It doesn't take shocks well so it's advisable to avoid bumps. It's definitely the best thing out there in the market for the economically constrained and the only place I've seen it is at Amazon.com. Great purchase :-)

Summary: Best MP3/CD player for the price
Review: Unfortunatly, I purchased this player before it went on sale, but I love it anyway - I can fit a lot of songs on one disk, and it works well with my Sound Feeder in my car.l

Summary: Not worth it, even at half it's price.
Review: I bought one of these when they first hit the market at around 100 dollars. I immediately ran home and burned an MP3 cd to test out. At first the player performed pretty well, offering decent playback of the songs I had. The bass quality was nothing compared to my other portable cd player and as I listened I began to notice imperfections in the mp3 playback. The 45 second anti skip ONLY works on CDs not MP3 encoded files. So if you've got your 10 hours of music and you're on a bumpy ride, you might as well kiss your music goodbye. The menus are hard to navigate without having to stare at the screen and the lack of a backlit display make it nearly impossible to navigate anything other than the standard play, pause, stop, and skip buttons at night. After a year of owning this product I am sorely disappointed. I cannot playback a single cd without having multiple skips and cutouts as it tries to play. I have a Craig cd player that I got 6 years ago that still plays like I bought it yesterday. I think I'll dust it off and start using it again. Is it garbage or is it memorex?

Summary: works great, kind of ugly
Review: I bought the Memorex 8505 last November because my Aiwa XPV70 quit working on me (It was about two years old; awesome while it lasted) I decided because of the relatively low price of the Memorex and the cool mp3 function to go with it. Ive been playing it pretty hard for about two months now and haven't experienced all of the problems faced by other reviewers. Ive used it to play cd's loaded with mp3's and normal music cd's; it's played them both fine without any errors, and it skips only rarely. Im only giving it four stars though because it could be a lot better. First off, if you care about what your cd player looks like do not buy this one. It's heavy, bulky, and really cheap looking. The headphones it comes with are ok, but it does sound better with ones that are higher quality. The only other problems are that the volume control turns in the opposite direction than I am used to, and the ac adapter is in a wierd voltage that isnt compliant with any of my other cd players. My advice is, if you really want an inexpensive mp3/cd player then buy this (or the new memorex model that's out)... But if you value the look of your cd player and want something cool to look at and show off while listening to music do NOT buy this cd player.

Summary: Piece of Junk
Review: It worked fine when I first got it. However, it's only been 1 month and the headphones are broken and it skips and cuts out when I play a cd. I didn't drop it or damage it. It's just a piece of junk. Next time I'll spend more money and buy a quality made cd player.

Summary: No lo compre (Desde Colombia)
Review: Este producto realmente es una pena. Yo lo he adquirido a través de fiera.com - Colombia y posee tres grandes defectos:
- Solo lee 200 canciones por cd
- No acepta cd's multisesión
- Crea clicks y pops en las canciones de manera aleatoria haciendolas realmente indeseables en las fiestas por ejemplo Estoy pensando en comprar un nuevo reproductor mp3 pero desafortunadamente en el mercado colombiano no hay muchas opciones. En otras revisiones dice que memorex ha sacado una version actualizada, la mpd8507cp, pero no tengo el dinero para comprar esta actualización. Por ahora me conformaré con tener canciones que saltan aleatoriamente cuando se reproducen, y comprar cd-rw's para quemar las canciones una y otra vez en una sola sesión.
