3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Player with Versatile Inputs, June 10, 2008

This review is from: jWin JXCD561 Portable AM/FM MP3 CD/MP3 Boombox With Memory Reader (Electronics)

I have purchased and used this Jwin player for about two months now. I needed a small and portable player that can play MP3 files on both CD and flash memory, and this one seemed to fit all my needs. I didn't consider the high quality sound since the player was intended to use for playing only children's songs.

Here is my thoughts:

Pros)
- Size: It was a lot smaller than I have expected and very light to carry around.
- Flash/SD Memory: Works fine with my 1GB SD memory. Manual specifies that it works with up to 2GB.
- Volume Control: The volume control is a dial which I prefer over a button type.
- Backlight Display: It helps to read music tracks during the night.
- Price: It was the only unit that I can find around $40 having all the features listed.


Cons)
- Bass Sound: Although I didn't expect quality sound, the sound, especially bass, is awfully bad. There is a bass bost feature, but I don't hear any difference.
- Tunner: It is manual and the reception is as bad as the radio in my alarm clock.
- CD Lid: CD lid is opened by just lifting, which can be broken easily.
- No ID3 tag display: Only current track # is displayed.
- Button layouts: Play & Stop buttions are very small and not intuitively placed.

I would only recommend this player to whom needs to play light music like children's songs with limited space.

4.0 out of 5 stars I think JWin may be reading my mind ..., July 14, 2007

... because I've been wanting a boombox with a radio that can play mp3 CD-Rs & CD-RWs, SD cards and hook up to my mp3 player. The sound is as you would expect from a product at this price.

The only things I would tweak is to make the display show artist, song and album titles. Currently, it only shows the track number. And, how about an alarm clock?

So JWin, I'm sending telepathic messages to you ...

I got one of these awhile back and been having trouble ever since. More then 80% of the time it won't read my CD or a CD with mp3's on it. So as a last resort I put in a usb flash drive. Well it reads the small drive like a 256 mega bytes but it can't read my 2 gig flash drive. I bought this machine for work so I wanted a long playing device but forget it. I hate it.
