3.0 out of 5 stars Good player, but incomplete without disc repeat func., November 24, 2009

Everything that Sony has put on this disc works just fine. The buttons are marked in black, which is the same color as the case and the buttons themselves. It makes it quite difficult to operate the buttons. In addition, there is no option to have the entire disc to repeat. It will repeat a single song (who does that?), but can't repeat the entire disc. Otherwise this unit operates just fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sony PSYC Discman, September 29, 2009

The discman I bought is in great condition, it plays CDs well, and has great sound. The only issue I have with it is that batteries don't last very long in it; I've had batteries die after playing up to four CDs in it, as opposed to players that would play up to 15 CDs before the batteries died.

2.0 out of 5 stars dissapointing, June 23, 2009

By	T. Moll - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this to replace my old Panasonic SL-SX430 that after years on the road finally broke. The SL-SX430 had a battery life of up to 85 hours on two AA batteries! It never skipped, played all of the MP3 CD discs I burned at home, and was all around a great player for the $50 I paid for it back in 2003. I could not find another one of these to replace my broken one.

I settled on this Sony because I couldn't find many CD players that have MP3 playback anymore. I guess everyone just uses stand-alone MP3 players. Anyway the package didn't advertise the battery life, which turns out to be only 11 hours for an audio CD and 23 hours for MP3 playback. The player also skips or freezes the audio frequently if the disc has the slightest scratch or fingerprint. My old panasonic would play my severely scratched-up discs flawlessly.

The sound quality is OK. No complaints here.

If you have never owned a CD-MP3 player before, you may think that this one is just fine. Personally I just hate replacing an item with something of lesser quality.
