Summary: Flimsy Construction and Poor MP3 Support
Review: Sorry I bought this product because the construction was flimsy.... Playing CDs is fine, but it could not see all of the MP3 files that I had on a CD I burned. (I had no problem playing all of these MP3 files on my computer).

Summary: It is illegal to sell something this bad
Review: I own an MP3 player which I bought here (Nomad II) loved it but too little memory. I bought the Memorex Cd/Mp3 player because I have lots of MP3-CD's. It did everything like chug alot and display stupid typographical symbols but did not play music. It skipped and it skipped and it skipped, which is what I should have done when I glanced by it at the counter. It goes back tommorow. Don't let the cheap price and the added accessories fool you. It is a real piece of #$%)@!

Summary: Excellent piece of hardware!
Review: I bought this player for my car, so I was pleased to find it came with a car adapter! I burned a CD and took it to my car... hmm, lots of skipping... I then bought a CD-RW for another one of my computers so I could keep making new CDs without wasting CD-Rs

It turns out that the anti-skip is nearly bullet proof when it comes to the CD-RWs I bought at Office Depot.

It appears that the media you use for writing your CDs influences how well the anti-skip protection will work.

The interface is certainly different with the circle of buttons but I'm used to it such that I can actually change directories and songs without looking... which is useful while driving!

A note about the bullet-proof anti-skipping... towards the end of a CD-RW the song starts, hiccups, then continues on perfectly without any skipping from that point. Just an interesting observation.

Summary: Memorex MP3 Player a BIG MISTAKE
Review: Aside from problems throughout its use, at the 5 month mark this piece of garbage stopped working correctly. The volume became fixed and unresponsive despite no trauma and no exposure to heat, cold, etc. It skips- often. The buttons are perfect for bumping into when working out. It shuts off spontaneously in the middle of playback even with fresh batteries and a well-burned CD-R. Needless to say, Memorex has refined technology right up to the point where it breaks down past the 90 day warranty. Do NOT buy this one.

Summary: Whoa!
Review: One word Whoa! This CD player is just great, though it is a lil bulky comapierd to what im used to.(but that is b/c all I used before was sonys and they are smaller then most)This is a a great buy with a few minor flaws. It takes a while for each CD to load up, and it skips once in a while when playing MP3s.(this only happens with Higher bit rates i.e. 160<) Other then that I have had no probs with it.

Summary: This thing is terrible
Review: I bought this becuase t had positive reviews and I can't help but think they were planted. The battery life is less than 2 hours! It skips constantly on brand new CDs. One of the headphones died within a few weeks. I couldn't be more dissatisfied with this product.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Skips and screeches, even sitting on the table!
Review: I couldn't even listen to very low bit rate spoken word MP3s without pops and skips, while it was sitting motionless on a table. On higher bit rate music MP3s, it skipped more and made occasional loud short screeches, also while sitting motionless on a table. Back to the store it went.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Refused to work after second use
Review: It seemd to work fine the first time, except for the first song playing only a few seconds. Had fun for an hour or so. The next day, same disc, ZIPPO, NOTHING. Tried other disks, even pre-recorded CD's refused to work. This went back for a complete refund.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for CD Music - MP3 Old Time Radio Programs Wonderful
Review: I spent 15 years as an Announcer-Engineer at several radio stations in the 1940's and early 1950's so I remember growing up and listening and working in the "Golden Age of Radio". I have collected over 50 Old Time Radio MP3 CD's. I had another MP3 CD Player that would only play Old Time MP3 CD's recored with about 70 half hour or 30 one hour radio programs only if recorded at 48Kbps/44,100Hz on a 650MB 74min disk and I have only about 10 of those and they were hard to find. It would not even recognize any other kind of MP3 OTR CD's recorded differently. I travel extensively in my motorhome and it is too dificult to use a computer to play the MP3's. You have to keep manually changing the title at the end of each half hour or hour program. The Memorex will play one after another without doing anything after touching the "Play" button when traveling a couple hundred miles before stopping for gas or a rest area. My Memorex has worked perfectly with all of my regular music CD's. I've shaken it, taped on it and bounced it and it has never missed a beat, the same goes for my MP3 OTR CD's. It has worked like a charm. I like it, it's the greatest.
