2.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended for MP3 playing, October 5, 2007

The sound is decent, but the CD/MP3 buttons don't work as intended and even how they feel under the finger & how they sound - when pressed, makes it obvious that the unit is cheaply made. The >> and << press and hold does not fast forward normally, sometimes it automatically takes you back to the beginning/end of the track/song. It's a 50/50 chance if you'll be taken all the way back or not. Also after pressing the Stop button and then pressing Play it takes you to the beginning of the CD instead of resuming where it stopped. This may not sound like a big deal when playing a music CD, but it becomes a HUGE problem when playing an MP3 which has many hours on each CD/MP3 and often long audio-books are on them, and to find where you stopped can be very time consumming and therefore irritating. I do not recommend this unit if you are going to use it for MP3 playing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Small Price for a lot of Sound, September 18, 2007

I was looking for a boombox that would play MP3 formatted CDs as well as regular CDs and have an auxillery input jack for my MP3 player. This RCA boombox has all of these features and it offers great sound. It has predefined playing modes (rock, jazz, classical, pop)and a bass boost feature which adds some depth to the music that plays. Sure you can find something a lot louder that costs a lot more. But for the money this little boombox can hold it's own. I also like that it is light weight, easy to carry around with you, and has a user friendly interface. The only feature that I would like to have had is a remote. But again for the price you can't go wrong.

the RCA Portable CD Player with MP3 Playback, RCD200 seems to be a great unit. I bought it to play back several hours of MP3 recordings for a family member in a nursing home. It works great. The only drawback is that each time it is shut off it returns to the beginning of the 12 hr CD, and sometimes it is hard to read the LCD because it is not back lit.
