I got this at Target they have a good return policy and it works well. Actually this is the second time i got it. I tried RCA which sucked then i tried this one which was good, the only compaint is the battery life is not so hot so i took that one back then i got a cheap 10.00 one which skip like crazy and i took that one back. Then i bought a sony twice this one was clearence and it started to not to play my cds after 4 months of having it and spined like crazy when you shut it off so i was stuck with that one. Stupid me i got another sony and that one did this annoying cracking sound (within a week or purchase) which scratched my cds. So after this i was fed up and i re got this philips one. So what about the crappy batery life batteries are very cheap i stock up on them when they are like 75 cents for a four pack. The only other compaint i have about this is that sometimes it does not play the cd on the first time you have to open the player up and close it and push play again but then it works. Also this a good cd player when it comes to not skipping, i play it while i walk to work and have no complaints.

The claim is that the batteries can last up to 70 hours - I only listen to an hour or two of music on it a day, and I end up changing the batteries about every week. When you want to pause the song and skip forward or backward into it, you would think you would have control over where it goes, right? Nope, it will automatically shuffle to a random point on that track or it'll just skip forward to the next track. I dropped it once but it was only from 2 feet onto a carpet, parts broke off that I had to put back together.

Don't buy this, please. I'm sorry that I did.

This is one of the best cd players out there, besides the Sony Discman. The bass is good, and the sound quality is basically mediocre.I didnt like the original headphones that came with this, so I use a older pair of the same pair I bought at Hudsons Treasure hUnt lol! It plays all cds, even burned ones so you wont have any problems with that feature. Sometimes I wish It would get louder even though I have some really good headphones. And the battery life lasts me weeks I dont know what everyone else is talking about.

Ordered this to put in my pocket while I'm walking; however should warmer weather come, a simple clip on the back to attach to clothing would (to me) make sense. Not many people walk/jog holding the CD player in their hands, and a clip would have eliminated the need for buying a special holder.
I would have found instructions included very helpful. Kept getting "hold" message until I found switch that was on the side, not on the top.
Headphones are beyond useless - just used the ones from my old diskman. May fit an elf - sure didn't fit me!
Sound is fine - I don't expect top of the line in something like this, but find it adequate and enjoyable while on my daily walk.
