Summary: Good Value For Money
Review: This item was purchased for a LONG plane trip overseas. I needed something to pass the time, and I wanted to pack light. SO I was looking for a mp3/CD player that would play the mp3 without converting to CDA (cd audio) I could easily pack 4 mp3 filled CD's better than a whole 48 CD carrying case! The accessories (ac adapter,car cassette adapter and car power adapter) are sure to fit any need. I use rechargeable batteries in this device, but the back up ac adapter is nice to have as well.The item does work well and is very intuitive. It's ease of operation gets high marks from me. It claims 10 hours of mp3 music, 100 second skip protection, cd/cdrw compatibility, and program and shuffle. The bass boost is a nice touch too. You can't go wrong with this purchase if you are looking for a nice portable mp3 player. There are smaller items available but no way will you get the same amount of music out of them. It is much simpler to just pop in a burned cd, than to download and transfer songs to a device. If you carry a portable CD player already then you know how easy they are to take along. This is the same size as those! My only word of warning is to be prepared to buy a new set of earbuds. The ones that come with this item are cheap and don't last long AT all!!
Happy listening!

Summary: Piece of crap
Review: I couldn't believe I wasted my money on this. 4 problems: 1. Volume not good (I listen to metal and it's not even for classical, volume's so low). 2. The bass system is not good, most of beats sounded different from other players while others make me jumps up and down and blew my ears away, this one like knocking on the doors or tables in that case. 3. It skips sometimes - skip protection... okay... 4. slow as mofo when you press Previous Track or program the tracks. The tracks take about 2 - 5 secs to load the song out...

Summary: Excellent
Review: I love this gadget! This is a wonderful, sturdy, high quality MP3-CD player. Euro design, euro quality. I researched a lot of players before I settled on this one - the price/ value ratio can't be beat! The sound quality is great. Mixed encoding rates are not a problem for this player. The accessories are great too: car cassette adapter (or if you have a home stereo, it works in that too) car power adapter, AC adapter and headphones. The headphones are solid, not flimsy, are nice quality and are ergonomically designed to sit firmly in your ear - great for sports activities. The 100 second skip-protection works well too, I shook it like hell and it didn't skip a beat. The display is not the greatest, but usable and you get used to it. Once you use it for a while, you'll get as to how to burn your CDs. Overall thumbs up! Highly reccommended!

Summary: Also comes with frustration and anger!
Review: wow, I must say when I first got this I was really hopeful. After about two weeks later reality set in, this thing was garbage. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!! Aside from not showing any of the tags for the mp3s, don't plan on listening to a whole song, because this mp3/cd player decides when it wants to cut through to a new song and skip a few. And don't plan on listening to your regular cds fluidly either. This bad boy, with its "powerful" esp can barely play a cd fresh out of the case without skipping, even with the esp on. I feel as though I've been had. Please don't let yourself fall into the same trap.

Summary: Not bad, but...
Review: I have mine in my car, and for the most part it plays songs quite nicely, I've found though, that some times it gets up to 11 seconds or so and then stops playing. I'm not sure if it's due to bumps in the road, or poor CD quality (I've only tried CD-RWs). The lack of ID3 support and back light is a bit irritating as well. However few other players could allow me to cary my entire collection of CDs (well over 6GB) for as low a price as this does. My next player will likely be a jukebox type, but for now I'm not unhappy...

Summary: Road Trip Saver!!
Review: I read everyone's reviews before I made my decision to purchase this. We were about to go on a long road trip and I wanted to listen to my music without worrying about storing a hundred CD's to keep up with my family's diverse musical interests. MP3s are the way to go, I fit 167 songs on one disc, plugged the Expanium into the cigarette lighter, popped the cassette adapter into the stereo, and we were off! We never had to listen to the same song twice in what ended up being around 32 hours of time in the car!! It never, ever skipped -- I even tested this by banging it around, tossing it in the air, etc. just to try and get it to skip, but it never did. Who cares if it's square. I didn't buy it to look at, I wanted to press play and forget about it. And that's exactly what I did with it. It's small enough that it can be stuffed into a little cranny in the car where it's out of the way but still keeps the music coming. What a perfect gem this is. With the resume feature, you can turn off the car and come back and hit play, and boom, there's the same song playing that you left it on when you got out of the car. It's got excellent sound through ANY car speakers. I can't recommend this enough!!! Got a road trip on your planner? Don't pass this up, don't consider anything else!!!

Summary: Too little for price
Review: Avoid this. There are better MP3 players on the market with more features at the same prices. Very surprising display is so limited - with 150 songs on a CD it would seem like a basic requirement to show the songs title and length (as most newer ones do). Frankly, I think this is an overstocked item that YOU are paying to clear out.

Summary: as a beginner, I liked it
Review: This is the fist time I use a portable player. I use it in my car. To me, it is very useful. I don't have experience with battery life. I can go through directories and files easily. The only problem is I can't fastforward in the same file.

Summary: Too many flaws
Review: It looks nice. But that's the only good thing about this flawed MP3-CD player. Long startup time, small display, problems reading certain CDRs, problems playing certain MP3 files, bad skipping. Biggest issue? It's not flash upgradable, which means you're stuck with these problems and they can never be fixed. I returned the EXP103 and now own the excellent Riovolt from Sonicblue. A superior MP3-CD player in every way.
