1.0 out of 5 stars makes alot of promises, doesn't keep them!, March 8, 2004

This review is from: Memorex Portable CD Player (MPD8857) (MPD8857) (Electronics)

This cd mp3 player really excited me when I first opened it and tried it out(I bought it half price at a retail store). It supports mp3 long file name, and has a nice bluelit background display. Here is the problem: cheaply built. What happens is this cd player reads your mp3 cds no problem (takes 30 seconds to add up tracks, but not so bad at all) and then when you touch the door, i mean hardly even tap it!, or even if you, say, hold the cd player and walk--it will display a 'door open' reading. at which point it stops playing. and then you must push the door shut and it will then reread the cd. then you pick a track on the nice navigation menu (the menu is actually very cool) and it plays for another 30 secs to a min and repeats this process. what a shame. this player could have been great if it weren't for the manufactoring defect. spend a bit more, try another brand. all and all mp3 cd players can be great, this one is not. you get what you pay for, at least this time.

This cd player has suprised me, when i bought it i was expecting it to disappoint me but i was suprised by its performance. it plays mp3s very nicely and is very easy to use. the controls are easy to learn they only took me about 10 minutes to get use to. the sound on this little wonder is amazing, its pretty loud compared to other cd players such as sony and panasonic. the sound qaulity is 2nd to none and this player supports id3 tags which means u can see which song ur currently playing. u get all this for way less than other cd players for about $80-100$. buy this cd player, when you get it u'll be presetly suprised...
