 Best MP3-CD player for your dollar. March 16, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you cannot afford an ipod or have a CD burner for rewritable CDs and and have 15 minutes of file-transfer from your computer, this is the best economic solution to listening your favorite podcasts from radio stations/itunes/etc.,. All you need is 1 AA battery which last at least 30 hrs (I use rechargeable with 2500 mAh) for CDs and may be a whole week or longer for the radio. The reception is equal or better than those wireless headset radios'.
It comes with external wired control which is very cool. I just put the CD player in my jacket and do the functions like volume, rewind/fastford, skip like I play with ipod.
By the time I write this review, I have dropped it to the cement floors from my computer desk at least 4 times and it still works with no problem. It is a keeper. :-)

I bought this player for my elderly dad, however, the buttons on this player are so small that my dad cannot use it without help. The antenna for the radio is not very strong - I was hoping he could listen to am radio but it gets no reception. Very disappointing for the price.

I bought this CD player as a replacement for the one I had been using for 6 years before. This one is kind of expensive, but it includes a lot of features. It works just fine for me, and the battery life is surprisingly long for just one battery. The only problem I really have with it is the center button that controls scrolling and the volume. It is difficult to move, and since it doubles as the play/pause button, it gets a little annoying. It feels kind of weak, and though it hasn't broken yet, I fear it will one day.Other than that, it is a very nice CD player. If you want a cheap CD player, buy something else. If you like the features of this one, then this is your best bet.
Also, don't listen to all the idiots here that are complaining because they got defectives. SOMETIMES products are defective. Take them back to the store and get another. Stop giving the product a bad review because you are upset that yours doesn't work like everyone else's.
Works even better than I expected! February 11, 2008
Wow! Better than I expected. I had considered an IPOD for working out, but thought I would miss the fleixibility of listening to the radio so I bought this to listen to radio primarily and bail out to a CD when on comercial breaks. It works really well and I really like the remote control feature that keeps me from accidentally dropping and breaking it!
 This thing is so clumsy and it turns on accidentally too easily and wears out the batteries February 9, 2008

Hi. Okay. So, this product sucks!!! Here's why:
1. In your bag, the damn thing will turn on and wear out its own batteries. The buttons protrude and are easily pressed by other items in your bag, or your elbow, or whatever. Enabling the "hold" feature does nothing to prevent this.
2. The only jack on it for headphones is not a standard headphone-jack but a weird jack for the accompanying gizmo to plug into - that gizmo is the black thing with the extra set of buttons to control volume, track, play, pause, etc - and you have to plug your headphones into the GIZMO, which is plugged into the unit. So if you lose the gizmo, your discman is useless because you cannot plug standard headphones into the discman unit.
3. The gizmo doesn't display the track number, or any information, for that matter. If your discman unit is, say, in your fanny pack, and you have the gizmo hanging out, and you are pressing buttons with your thumb, you cannot see which track or radio station you are on, because the gizmo has no display. You'd actually have to take the discman out of your fanny pack and look at it.
4. Too awkward. There is no handle on the discman itself - you have to carry it in a bag or purse. Then it has this gizmo hanging off of it, and you plug your headphones into that, and the cord is probably way too long... it's a disaster.
DONT BUY THIS MODEL!
