Summary: MP3 On A Budget.
Review: ... The sound is good, anti-skip in CDA mode works well, the player seems reasonably durable. I found no problems with it recognizing long-file-names, though I've found it's helpful to start each track with a number '01 - blah', etc; otherwise, the player can be unpredictable in it's ordering of tracks. All in all though, I'm reasonably impressed.

Summary: Great and better than others
Review: ...I sent it back and bought the Koss one. It is great! The only problem I have is it has a tendency to pop a little while playing MP3's downloaded off the internet. The display is very simple, but it gets the job done. The sound is very great, it has a Bass Boost switch. Overall go with this one!

Summary: O.K. I just got it at BIG ! LOTS (former Pic'n' Save)
Review: ...The player is great!!!! when you don't expect too much!!!!!!
Reads CDR containing about 300 mp3 files approx.30 sec, CDRW - little longer. Sound quality is GOOD! but don't count on EQ !!! Display rather small but shows everything what I need to know what's going on, no search by song name, album or artist but how could you expect anything like this for 29.99?????!!! besidesyou can try to organize your mp3 files on CDR a little bit putting them into folders which are called by this player as "albums". not bulky at all, rather light and slim I would say, runs very nicely and DOES NOT skipp AT ALL in mp3 mode!!!I am going to send this player as a gift for my friend living in Europe since all mp3/cd players are far more expensive there. If you don't need ID tag support and "good sound" is good anough for you - just GO for it! For such price you can't go wrong!!!!!!!!

Summary: Taking Back my 3 stars in prior rating
Review: Because I finally was able to burn readable mp3 discs after much troubleshooting, I thought perhaps my troubles were due to my computer configuration, burning software, etc. (I wasted 10 discs burning in various configurations.) So, I gave it 3 stars. Today, I had an opportunity to check out a TDK Mojo. I still had the "ruined" discs from my Koss troubleshooting. Guess what? The Mojo read all those discs all fine, and even displayed the tags! There was nothing wrong with my system or burning. The problem was with this product. Spend the extra money on a Mojo.

Summary: Very Unreliable, you get what you paid for
Review: Bought this player for Christmas. Very dissapointed with the MP3 reading capability on both CD-R and CD-RW media, it cracks,pops and echoes the files a lot (almost every file). I had try all the different types of media in almost any brand and color available, I also have use three different burning software to check if there was something else with no good results. I have a DVD player at home with MP3 capability, as well as two PCs, all three of them play the same discs flawlessly with no cracks or anything.The player plays audio CDs OK, but the very reason I bought it was because of the MP3 capability. On top of everything, I lost my Target receipt and could not return, because they changed their return policy.

Summary: Not a Bad Player
Review: Even though many say that the Koss is not worth it I have had no problems. Well one I can say that it won't read my CD-RW's. It reads my CD-R's just fine. I burned them with Easy CD Creator 4 and never had to change any settings. Right now I have a CD-R with 240 songs encoded at 160kb and it handles them fine. The sound quality is great other than it declines when the bass is turned on but not badly. For me it works fine for school and car rides which I use it for. Highly Recommended.

Summary: Not very good.
Review: Good price...but, player skips too much. I thought it was a bad MP3 rip or CD burn. I heard a large skip and replayed. Skip wasn't there. Did this several times at different locations. This would indicate the CD was OK and the player was skipping. Skipping will start annoying you to the point that you wished you paid more for a better player. Also, CD must be carefully inserted and firmly pressed into place. Otherwise, the player can't read the CD.

Summary: Cheap affordable way to listen to your mp3's
Review: Hello folks. The Koss portable Mp3/Cd player so far is a pretty good steal. I bought mine @ Target for ...(a few)bux. It sounds decent (and loud)and accesses folders with one button. Unfortunately, it has no text display...but you get what you pay for. The headphones are decent; the color of mine is silver with chrome buttons. For all of you folks: USE AUDIOCATYLIST ... for encoding mp3's in at least 160kbps. Thats near CD quality. Anything below 160kbps is underwater. Use EzCD creator's data for burning the discs.(NTI, Nero is good too). ....
