Summary: amazing value for your money!
Review: this player is excellent. i have had it for over a year and i can vouch for the fact that it is skip free, amazing quality and the id3 tags works like a charm. couple of gripes: no rechargables and no AC adapter but it is still undoubtably a great deal at <50$
lack of remote and backlight could be reasons for this low cost. however, the quality of playback and skip free good sound makes up wholesomely for it.
i also have a panasonic mp3-cd bought a month back (hence newer) and yet i feel the RCA scores over this one on pure clarity and skip free music.
you cant go wrong withthis one as a good low cost mp3 cd player

Summary: Maybe mine is defective
Review: This WAS a nice cd player. I got mine with a very handy car kit. The problems started soon after though. It will not read most of my MP3 cds that other players will read. It also tends to lock up and creates a buzzing sound. Overall I am NOT impressed and I am looking to a different brand for a replacement!
