Summary: Simplemente el Mejor
Review: Tuve la oportunida de probar este aparato y es la neta, 1.- tiene capacidad de leer CDs de 700 megas cosa que las demas unidades parecida a esta no tienen. Lee CDRWs para que pensar en flash cards. 2.- Suena sensacional, igual a la computadora tiene suficiente volumen inclusive me puede tronar los oidos. Si tienes problema con algun mp3 es cosa del archivo no de la unidad. 3.- Aguanta todos los bitrates habidos y por haber, cosa que las demas unidades no hacen ni siquiera la pine. Aguanta inclusive 320kb/s 4.- No aguanta id3 tags? a quie chingados importa que acaso alguien tiene un discman que le diga los nombres de las canciones? y si lo tiene, chingon por ti a este le caben 11 horas 5.- Tal vez sea dificil buscar entre 150+- canciones, pero para eso hay directorios, creas 10 directorios con todas las rolas de 10 discos, y tienes una caja de cd de 10 discos. 6.- Talvez no le quepan 6gb, pero dime cuantos cds puedes quemar? 7.- El equipo que trae vale 30dlls o mas, el conector para coche es de excelente calidad. 8.- Tengo 170 o mas rolas que me facinan, pero no caben en un cd, no caben en 1 cassete, y quiero oirlas en desorden, excelente pon un cd con random y se feliz durante las siguientes 11 horas, lo tienes que dejar de usar pero no quieres oir las canciones que ya oiste, excelente deja el modo de resume activado y seguiras con la misma lista y en la misma cancion, ni WinAmp puede hacer eso. 9.- Es mas caro que muchos de la competencia, pero que jodidos, es mucho mejor, si acaso la unidad pine le puede hacer competencia, lee id3 tags pero caray seguro le vas a poner random y lo vas a dejar tocando. La unidad de aiwa no se vende en america ni europa auqneu presuma ser mejor. Ademas pagas 200 dlls por 650 megas, no por 64 megas 10.- Es excelente para el coche, podria decirles que no van a volver a oir el radio. Unico problema, si tu coche no tiene casetera, nimodo usa los audifonos, o puedes comprar un interceptor de banda blanca fm. 11.- Saltos en las canciones, no pieneses en ellos no existen para esta unidad, si tienes alguno. mal por ti. Cualquier duda pregunta aclaracion o lo que quieran decirma envienme un email a cafre2001@hotmail.com

Summary: Phillips Expanium
Review: I have had an Expanium for a month or so. It is a bit pricey, but some of the cheaper units may only work with MP3 files encoded at 44 khz. This unit seems perfectly happy with the lower bit rate formats used on the internet oldtime radio and 78rpm era newsgroups. One can put 40-50 hours of oldtime radio on one CD, maybe more if I can figure out how to write all of an 80 minute CD-R with my HP CD-Writer Plus. Main disadvantage is the inability to move around within an MP3 file. This is a drag with hour long files. Plenty of volume with the supplied earbuds. Sound quality on audio CDs and suitable MP3 files is fine. There doesn't seem to be any way to update the unit to play newer formats (LQT, MP+).

Summary: Grand Unification at Last
Review: This thing Rocks! If you are thinking of buying a MP3 player with solid state memory, STOP! Imagine getting 640 Mbytes of MP3 music on a single CDR... It's an awesome convergence on technology. Easy to use, works as promised, sound quality good. In my opinion, this is the most under-rated product of 2000. Get one!

Summary: Great concept; extremely poor execution
Review: I got this for a birthday present and was pretty excited; I popped in a CD-RW and got "DATA" on the LCD. Nothing happened. After reading the documentation; I came across "does not work with Direct CD". Basically, if you're hoping to use this with a CD-RW, how do you format it? When I got through to their support (they have electronic chat support), I was told I should use Real Jukebox and that other methods (e.g., Windows Explorer) won't work for putting MP3s on a CD. The chat support person then tried to palm me off on their 1-800 number (voice-mail hell). The advertisements are misleading, the volume is very low, and the support is non-existent. Philips should have done a little more research and worked on their marketing and support (try hiring people who have a clue). I'm very disappointed and feel this reflects poorly on all Philips products.

Summary: MP3 Heaven Part 2
Review: This is my second review of the product. For me, I find it very user friendly. The buttons are spaced so it is not crammed together. The display is the worst ever. No ID tags. But wait, for those of us who know our music, we can tell what song it is without having to read a title. I can fit about 150-180 songs per CD. I have never had a problem with any of them and I've done about 20 so far. My main reason for buying this was because I was tired of listening to my mp3 files using the computer. I feel music was meant to be heard on a good stereo system. I have my Expanium hooked to my stereo and couldn't be happier. Also, a note about making mp3 cd's. I use Musicmatch and have no problems yet. Just beware of real long file names(rename them). Thanks Amazon for providing Expanium.

Summary: Its a good player but not worth it
Review: I don't think that the player is bad in its purpose, but rather it doesn't meet the requirements that an mp3-CD player should. The biggest limitation of this product is the difficulty to navigate between songs. Lets say you have a CD full of mp3's.. but you want to find a song, or want to know what your playing, shouldn't the player display the already included mp3 info? Like title, artist, etc. I think that it would have been a lot better if it did that. Kind'of like how the Creative Nomad Jukebox does, but a player that plays mp3's through CD's and not through the built-in harddrive. Lets face it, CD's are a lot cheaper, and they burn a lot faster than going through the USB or any other port. And you can carry more than one CD at a time.

Summary: Good sound quality, poor features...
Review: O.K., we all know that usually the first line of any product seems great at first, which the Philips Expanium does, but after a closer look, it's just not all the way up to par with current tecknology. 1. The positives: a. Good sound quality. If you think otherwise, I suggest recording at only 128 kbps or better. This will keep you from hearing too much distortion. b. Easy to use. While the features are limited, they are easily navigated throug without ever touching the instructions. And if you're like me, that's a plus. The shuffle and playlist functions work especially well. Not to mention the anti-skip feature also is all that it claims to be. c. Accessories! Philips was kind enough to include all that you need to put this thing in your car, which is exactly why I bought it. They include the ac adaptor plug, tape adapter for the car, head phones (not needed for the car but also included), and a regular ac adaptor. Even though I believe the price is a little steep, you would spend about 30 dollars extra on all this stuff. 2. The negatives: a. Not enough features. No fastforward or rewind, no id3 support. C'mon, you guys could have done better. b. Pricey. Although it is the MP3 capability you are paying for, not worth the suggested retail of 200 dollars, even with all of the accessories. c. Terrible LCD display. Just too dark. Just plain bad. 3. The skinny: a. If you've got to have it right now, it's not a bad investment. I recommend finding a better deal than the retail price though. Even with the limited features it still offers good sound quality with the convenience of MP3 from CD (10 hours worth at 128 kbps) and not to mention tons of accesories included. If you just want one and can wait, do. Something improved will definitely come along at a better or comprable price.

Summary: This thing is great
Review: I am really impressed with this device. If you are looking for a cd player that will hold ten hours of almost cd quality music definately get this. The mp3's sound great, I hardly can tell a difference, it sounds like a cd. I have had no trouble from the skip protection, the bass boost is decent, the headphones are pretty good, and i have had no trouble with the mp3 discs, I don't know what all these other reviewers are talking about, they just must not know how to use it. A few problems: loading an mp3 cd every time you turn it on takes a while and is a little frusturating; the display is not so good and it doesn't display the names of the songs, even on mp3; you can't fastforward or rewind an mp3 song; battery life on mp3 is a little short. But I really like it, it's great not having to carry around a bunch of cds.

Summary: MP3 Heaven
Review: This is a great player. It has recognized all our CDRWs just fine. I bought this for my wife for Christmas and she loves it. I can understand the complaints about the display, but since my wife and I our both blind, It just does not matter.
