Nice looks, cheaper than the equivelant Sony and does the job just as well. It's able to play my CD-R's and music burned from iTUNES.com (aac -mp4). It also has a nice little remote.

I purchased one of these, primarily on the basis of one of the reviews here, which claimed the player would play wma or mp3 discs, which was a feature I would have liked. Of course, I was suspicious because no where else on the internet, in any other product review or description, could I find this confirmed as a product feature. I don't know where that reviewer got his AZ3300. So, short of the fact that my own AZ3300 will play neither mp3 or wma CDs, otherwise it seems so far to be a perfectly fine player. It appears to be well built, and looks and sounds good. If it wasn't for my elevated expectations, I don't see why it wouldn't deserve 5 stars. But if you expect this to play wma or mp3s you are going to be very disappointed.

I am incredibly impressed with this product - so much so, I bought a second one. It plays mp3 files as well as wma files, which I didn't expect (wma, that is). The sound coming from the little box is beyond what I would consider acceptable for the money spent, and the way the remote is stored is really clever. NO COMPLAINTS at all, I just love it.
