Summary: GREAT QUALITY, But...
Review: i have owned this product for longer then I ould guess most of these reviewers have, and like most of them, I saw the good reviews and the cheap price and I bought it. The first problem I had was batteries. It only takes rechargibles. And I need strong ones since I was going on a five-hour plane ride. It cost me about ten more dollars. so really at the price I could have gotten a much better CD player. I have recently found out about how great it is that it can play MP3 CDs, which really adds to make this a really high-quality CD player.
The sound is great, it is very durable, and other then recent problems it is very good.

Summary: Disappointing product
Review: I purchased this product as I was going travelling. I started to use the MP3 player in late June. By early August, it has stopped working. It didn't fall, get water damaged or anything - it just stopped. Wouldn't recommend at all. As I'm currently abroad for 12 months, I have had to replace it at my own expense and am not happy about this.

Summary: Nice Look, Horrible Player.
Review: I was looking for a new mp3/cd player because my other one broke, So I bought this one because it was cheap and looked nice.
Positives:
- Nice Look
- Can play mp3/cds
- Slim
- ** Has backlit screen, so you can see in the dark
Now for the many negatives
Negatives:
- THERE IS NO FREAKIN HOLD BUTTON, this means, if you have this in your backpack or something, it will turn on and waste batteries.
- THE LOADING takes atleast 40 seconds on MP3 CDS. Sometimes, the songs won't work also so you have to wait like 5 minutes before any of the songs can play.
- IT FREEZES. This mother freezes so many times. If are playing a song and exit out of the menu, it freezes. Then you have to load the cd again ( which takes another 45 seconds ).
- The CD OPEN BUTTON is really EASY TO mistakingly hit and open the cd player. It's very big. Plus if you open the cd player,
it LOADS UP AGAIN!
- One of the worst things besides the NO HOLD BUTTON is the battery life span. It uses 3 TRIPLE A batteries. Not only does the triple A battery not last long but they are more expensive. I put NEW batteries in this CD PLAYER on MONDAY. I listened to it say 30 minutes everyday on the bus. On friday, the batteries were dead. That's like 2 1/2 hours of battery life.
Conclusion:
I'm being nice giving it 2 stars. This is the worst CD player i've ever had. Even my first CD player I ever bought is better than this junk. The batteries price will add up making this cheap player's price equal to a good one. So save your money and buy a good MP3 CD Player

Summary: Excellent product
Review: I was looking for a replacement MP3 CD player for my old one which simply stopped running on batteries. So battery life is my first priority when purchasing. I also wanted a better product since my old one does not display ID3 tags which makes finding a particular song really hard. Then one day I saw this. Wow, it is 50% off. After reading all the excellent feature, I knew this will be my choice. Upon getting the unit, I have done quite a bit of testing with all kinds of different CDs. Commercial CDs, Single and multi-sessioned MP3 and WMA CDs. This player could read them all, although it occasionally had some trouble reading multisession. Give it a couple of more tries and they will work. Battery life is long, approximately 20 hours using 3 AAA Energier 750mAh rechargeable. It even has a backlit LCD, which is really nice. ESP extreme works well overall but there can be skips at the beginning of a song. Sound quality is awesome with DBBS turned on. But, by far the best feature is SmartTrax, the best MP3/WMA CD navigation system ever. To use it, you need to use Musicmatch Jukebox's MP3 burning feature and turn on .MAU list support. Once you have done so, put the disc into the player. And it automatically sorts all the songs into categories like artist, genre, year, title and playlist. It is even better than the NaviTrack those TDK players have. Definitely a great buy.

Summary: Disappointed!
Review: I was very disappointed with this product. The mp3 cds play fine, but my burned cds wont play! It was made me so angry with this product! If someone knows if I can do anything to fix this problem, please tell me, but otherwise I do not recommend this product to anyone.

Summary: GREAT CD PLAYER WITH A FEW MINOR PROBLEMS
Review: I was very impressed at this CD player when I received it. It does everything I wanted without lacking style at all. Here are the pros and consPROS
* backlight on the screen
* hardly any buttons
* volume control uses buttons rather then that annoying wheel
* no matter how hard you bang on it, the sound quality doesn't change, which helps for car travel on bumpy roads
* slim and stylish
* I love the way it springs open when you press the open button
* great sound quality CONS
* the earphones are REALLY ANNOYING if you want to listen to a CD in the car without disturbing anyone because of noise.
* the software that comes with it is TERRIBLE takes forever just to load onto your screen....and I have a pentium 4 Windows XP!
* I still don't understand how you turn it on or off
* the controls are sometimes hard to understand
* I can't figure out to put a CD in without forcing it down onto the thing it spins on I hope it was helpful

Summary: Excellent after a few minor changes
Review: I will note I have not tried WMA files, but MP3 works great! On most CD's, you can fit 200-250 tracks, and this player is an inexpensive and great value PROS
~~It allows you to sort by Artist, Album, Track name, and Genre (Genre is pop, rock, rap, etc.) and you can file through the songs
~~Play options, (repeat, shuffle, etc.) are numerous and good
~~VERY EASY to use, if by an off-chance you are baffled, the included manual is great to console.
~~Rechargable batteries (Not-included) can be recharged while still inside the player
~~Great Surround Sound or DPS
~~Allows excellent choice of preferences, such as backlight-timed, Autoplay, etc.
~~AC Adapter included, kinda bulky, but it needs to be to function. Never-the-less, the included AC Adapter works perfect
~~ CONS
~~I'm not feeling too trusty of the fact you must force the CD down and force it back up, what happened to the great "PUSH" button that poppped it up?
~~Sometimes the CD doesn't play automatically and you have to press the play button 2 or 3 times
~~I'm not ranting, but there is this sticker on the Player that advertises the type of program it uses (I'm not mad at the program, it's actually very goo!) but when you peel off the sticker it leaves a horrible residue, but it can be cleaned off with a simple cleaning spray. Now here is what you will need to fix on your own
~~I'm not to lie to you, these are possibly the worst headphones I have ever used. Buy some new ones, it'll be worth it ~~#1 THING /PAY CLOSE ATTENTION\~~I suggest you buy a stress ball, because this software... ARGH! It makes you want to use the disc as a frisbee! It is the buggiest thing ever, especially on below a Windows 98. Get something else, or a better version of Musicmatch, because you will go insane attempting to fix this All in all it gets a 4 1/2, A great value for your hard earned-money and a great accesory for any music lover.

Summary: Not bad, not great
Review: I've had the unit for about a month and it is my first MP3 play, though certainly not my first portable disk player. Overall I'd have to say I wouldn't purchase it again - there aren't any critical flaws, but there don't seem to be any overwhelming strengths either. PROs:
-Ez to navigate through directory structures on MP3 disks
-nice backlighting/screen
-charges rechargeable batteries (though it doesn't seem to do as good a job with my hicaps as does my "real" recharger)
-good with MP3s. CONs:
-exceedingly long "boot up" time and time to find some tracks on the disk. This may be the case with all mp3 players, but I'm finding the minute or so after loading the disk to hearing the first track to be a bit of a pain.
-no resume feature. I didn't realize how nice this was until I realized that if I turn the unit off for just a minute that when I turn it on again I have to reboot up or resetup the shuffle or repeat or whatever... it would be nice to go back to what I was listening to when I stopped the unit.
-so-so quality construction. The laser makes a grinding sound on bootup. The battery compartment flops open at innopportune times.
-WMA problems. When I purchased the unit I decided to rip my CD collection to WMA as I thought it offerred benefits over mp3. It may, but on about 10% of the first WMA tracks on the first CD I burned the RCA unit just hangs (used MS Windows latest verstion of the media player to rip the songs so I don't think that is the problem). I didn't try to do a lot of problem solving on this, so it is **possible** that I did something wrong.
-software included is terrible... don't even load it.

Summary: Very Very Very Good for the money
Review: I've had this cd player for about 1 year now, and I love it, and belive me i'm not one for buying cheap products, I always look for the best, and this had everything I wanted and more, at an unbelivable price. So if your trying to decide between this player and another one, just make up your mind and pick this one, because like I said i've had it for 1 year now and i've had absolutley no problems with it at all, it has great sound and looks, and lots of features, so if you can't make up your mind, let me make it up for you.........BUY IT!!
