1.0 out of 5 stars poor performance. Has trouble playing perfectly good cds, March 1, 2007

I purchased 2 of these units because of the ac power supply. Citizen was one of the very few who included ac power supply. Both players have trouble playing many perfectly good cds. The first store bought cd I played had blank sound in the middle of the cd. I thought something was wrong with my new cd. I put this new store bought cd in my home stereo and it played fine. For some reason the Citizen cd160 player cuts out sound on about 10% of my cds and the unit it just sitting on my desk. I might understand this if the unit was in motion. I regret buying these players. I now have two ac power supplies but I will have to buy new players and put the Citizen CD160 in the garbage with the rest of my trash.

I must say Amazon service was excellent but the Citizen CD160 was a major disappointment.

This unit meets all my MP3 needs with only a minimum of problems. I wanted one so I could use it at work and in the car and for the most part it exceeded my expectations. Good quality sound and battery life. I have noticed a couple problems though.

For some reason it can't seem to read one certain song I have in MP3 format, (of course it is one of my favorites.) It skips to the beat, though that is the only one I have found to date. The only major problem shows up when using the external power adapters. With the 12 volt adapter plugged in there is a high pitched whine even without the vehicle running and with either adapter the sound of the unit reading and indexing the disk is rather annoying. This doesn't happen on battery power so perhaps it is due to the power supply's output of 4.5VDC when the unit only requires 3VDC.

Overall I would have given it a 5 if not for these problems.

I bought this in order to listen to recorded books. The sound is good but I was disappointed that when I turn the CD player off, it does NOT keep my place- the current page I am reading.Citizen CD160 Cd Player With Mp3 Playback And 120 Second Asp
