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...

This Player has some buggy problems. maybe its the headphones, I don't know. It skips like mad, eats batteries, the radio tuning is no good, and no adapters work, keeps cutting off when plugged into the wall with the right polarity. Probably need good headphones. Features are nice on the player, generally plays mp3 very well, but use rechargeables unless you are rich. display is very good, like the blue light. will probably get the adapter SPECIFICALLY for this unit and a good pair of headphones. I do like the fact that it has am/fm, but I think seriously it is for MP3 only. They should have included an adapter, that was a bit cheap of them not to. I guess I picked the wrong one off the shelf or something. will try my warranty and see about another unit. it should have failed a test or something. Iam noticing memorex quality is declining

Overall this does a good job but it skips portions of songs. Ever so often, using both CD and MP3, it will skip ahead a tiny amount and throws the beat in your head off. If I were to have the choice again I'd probably buy a competitor, but for the first CD/MP3 player I've bought it's okay.

This cd player is the most horrible device i had ever bought. It cost me 50 dollars, and on the first drop, the thing broke, It took me around an hour to fix it. The mp3 cd player part of it dfoesnt work, and i have to punch it until my knuckles are sore half the time because it says "NO DISK"

I got this new mp3/cdplayer a while ago. Withen the week I had droped it once, and the thing broke. The other cd players I have had would last million of times of being droped. This one dident. If u would like a mp3 player if I was you I would look a an older one and the revews for it.
