5.0 out of 5 stars Flash Drive works perfectly on this CD player!!, August 14, 2011

My husband wanted this CD player for his birthday...because in addition to playing CDs it will also play music downloaded to his computer and then to the flash drive. Our old speakers are
still working great and now the new downloaded MP3 songs can also be played,as well as our special CDs that he has made over the years. Wonderful MP3 player alternative! We've had no problems with the CD player performing perfectly.

I have only used the unit for a couple of days. So far the CD portion is working fine. I put it on shuffle all disks and let it go. No glitches, all good. Not so when playing mp3s off USB sticks. I have tried 4 different brands of USB drive. In each case the unit plays at most 1 or 2 complete songs. Then in the middle of a song playback stops, the unit shows DATA ERROR and advances to the next song. I have tried drives between 1GB and 8GB from SanDisk, PNY, Memorex and MicroCenter. Same results for all drives. I am in the process of having the unit replaced and will report the results on the new unit.

Kudos to Amazon for a very quick turn-around on the replacement unit. Requested Sunday, received Tuesday! So far I have listened to parts of 4 CDs from 2 different USB drives with no problems. So it appears the first unit was just defective. Will post more when I get more hours on the unit. It is definitely nice to have the USB capability!

I have been using the unit several hours a day since 11/15 with no problems. Having the flexibility to play CDs and mp3s off the USB is really a plus. The ability to erase tracks on the USB when a song doesn't fit my intended mix is a nice feature. I am changing the review from 3 to 4 stars based on the function of the replacement unit and Amazon's great customer service.

this disc changer is awesome no problems what so ever, very clear sound and it doesn't even skip on CDs with minor scratches on them.
