I got this CD player because I wanted one that could play MP3 files. There are a few problems I came across: 1) The wired remote control does not work. I tried using it with several headsets but not a single one worked, including the one it came with. 2) Although the product description says, "incredible 240-second espXtreme Skip protection," I found this not to be true. I took the CD player with me on a run and the skipping was very bad. There was no skip protection. I don't know if it was because I was running on concrete but that shouldn't be a valid excuse. 3) The top cover seems to get scratched rather easily. I have no idea what happened but there is a small scratch mark where the top coating has scratched off. I do know that I didn't hit it against any hard surface.
A good thing I noticed is that if you have preset radio stations and take the batteries out for days, the presets will still be on the CD player.
Overall, the CD player works well, and radio reception seems decent. If you don't plan on excercising with the unit and you don't care if the remote control doesn't work then I would recommend it. Otherwise you should find a different CD player.

I ordered four players for the family at Christmas. I've had to send two of them back because they would not play CD's produced by the factor, or burned with WMA or MP3 files. I know it isn't the CD's because they will play in the other two units. The working players all types of CD's I've put in them. I haven't had problems with remotes or skipping and the radio works very well. I would give 4 stars to the working units (The read out is hard to read 40+ year old eyes.) and 0 stars to failed units for an average score of 2 stars.
