5.0 out of 5 stars Best bang for the buck., December 10, 2001

The CHD-1000 Player from Classic is a fantastic value for an MP3. Great Sound and small footprint. One thing that is not really advertised about the product is that you do not have to load songs from your PC. All you have to do is connect the CHD-1000 to the back of your current CD player and the unit will encode and store your music in compressed digital format. With 10 Gig's of storage space, I can store up to 200 CDs. The best digital jukebox I have seen for such a low price.

Great sound quality,Huge memory.
One point to note is not advertised is that you can
record directly from a CD without using a computer.
Another important point that it is multicodec which means it will play the new compression formats other than MP-3
The new compression formats create files much smaller than mp3's which means you can store more songs.

I recently bought this mp3 player for a Christmas gift. It seemed like a great product: lots of memory, reasonably priced, compact size and many rave reviews. However, when I tried to set it up, I ran into numerous problems. For starters, while I was uploading music to the device, after 1 GB, it said that it was full. Then the software, Musicmatch, couldn't recognize the device, so I could not reformat its hard drive. The menu system on the mp3 player was confusing and difficult to navigate. Also, I could not find any online support for this virtually unknown company. Although I'm sure I bought a lemon, I didn't care to exchange it for another one, knowing that even if I had gotten it to work, it wouldn't have been worth it anyway.
