I bought one of these cd players for my daughter. I was a little wary because of the price, but have been very pleasantly surprised with it. Even though it doesn't say it has any anti-skip protection, it seems to do just fine. I have borrowed it from her for a couple of car trips and it's not skipped once. It also has good sound. How long it will last has yet to be seen, but it's great for an 8-year old's back pack.

Just because you are not paying a $100 for a portable CD player doesn't mean you are not getting the quality. This thing beats all but Philips Magnavox and Aiwa portable CDs and far outpaces Sony with skip control. Just goes to show that the high price guys are making a big margin on name.

I, too, purchased this CD player for my 8 year old daughter. I am really impressed with the sound quality for the price. If you plan to leave this player stationary (on a desk, etc.), I think you will be more then pleased. Also, it's an excellent gift for a young child, who doesn't need a top-of-the-line player. The price is VERY reasonable, and the unit is straightforward and easy to use.

Good sound for the money; however, it is sensitive to bouncing. While I wouldn't use this unit while jogging, it is a fine portable if you walk smoothly, ride public transport, or just away from your main CD player.

The sound reproduction was decent, using the headphones supplied. The unit comes with a switch that allows you to select greater depth of bass.

The batteries are easy to change, though you will have to remove the unit from whatever carrier you are using. The controls are easy to use. I like having the stop button on one side of the unit and the open button on the other.

My "nit" with this unit is the carrier. The one supplied with the unit is almost useless; pick another for everyday use.

This player plays well, if you OK with the fact that it does not have the stabilizer (so, whenever there is a slightest movement, the play is interrupted). Also, it did not come with batteries (which, I personally hate), and the carrying case included as a bonus is kinda funny looking and impractical. But the LCD, phones, and all the buttons work well.

While I expected the CD to occasionally skip, I was disappointed in how low the volume was.I had a Sony Discman and the volume was low on that, but with this player it's ridiculous.

I bought my first Memorex CD player as a gift, and then decided that I would "splurge" and buy one for myself. This machine is absolutely incredible for the price! I have bought more expensive models in the past that don't have half the sound quality of this one. The headphones are really decent too. Quite a bargain, I must say. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this little beauty if I were you.

If you want a cd player better spend a few extra bucks on a major namebrand product. I received this cd player yesterday and I'm returning it today. How bad could it be? Man, this is really a cheap and inferior product. The cd would skip frequently the track it was playing; there is a lot of static in the sound;it has low volume; and it has the cheapest construction in the world. You gotta be extremely careful when inserting a cd. The arm where the cd holder sits (i believe the lens runs along this part) will considerably move downwards to the slightest force. I agree with Bruce from NY. I don't want this cd player even for free. After returning this product I purchased a Sony cd player. Sure it was more expensive, but is working fine. Believe me, you'll regret purchasing this Memorex MD3020 cd player.

This CD player is a great one when it comes to travel and portability. But only four months after I got it, the headphones stopped working (properly). When they do work, they don't work on the left side, and you usually have to play around with it before it does. But still, it's a great system. Nice audio quality, too.

This CD player is worth it at twice the price. An excellent sound at a great price.
