Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The compact, affordable CDP3500 not only plays MP3 files burned to CD, but also mixed-mode CDs containing a combination of MP3 files and standard (PCM) CD tracks. You'll enjoy 45 seconds of anti-skip coverage for music tracks and up to 120 seconds of coverage for MP3 files. Playback options include MP3 and CD track programming, as well as random and repeat (single track, all tracks). An auxiliary output lets you hook the player up to your home system through a stereo Y interconnect (not supplied).

The four-line text and numeric LCD simplifies file maintenance and offers scrolling text so you can read the full artist name and song title. The player supports MP3 bit rates of 32, 64, 96, 128, 192, and 256 Kbps, as well as variable bit-rate recordings (MP3 format ISO 9660). A hold switch prevents unintended interruptions in playback and saves batteries by negating playback when the player is stopped. Dynamic bass boost system (DBBS) heightens the impact of low frequencies. The player runs on two AA batteries (not supplied) and includes an AC power adapter.

This review is from: Koss CDP-3500 Personal CD/MP3 Player with 4-Line Scrolling Text Display (Electronics)

Plays cds and mp3s just fine. The "hold" button is vital once play has started -- the buttons on the face-plate will activate if you are carrying it around, like in your pocket -- so play is easily interrupted, or the screen info will change in unexpected ways. If you don't turn it all the way off with two clicks of the "stop" button, the play will continue and the batteries will drain, resulting in a very unstable performance that will start play and stop after a few minutes -- annoying til you figure it out. I use this to play old time radio catalog radio shows, and the manual fails to explain that holding down the "next program" button will give you a fast-forward function. It's bare-bones, rattles a bit, but it plays good and the price is right.
