Freecom Mini CD / MP3 player

When i bought this i bought it with 3 mini cdrw's and they work absolutely great in it. It comes with seinheiser MX300 ear phones and they are pretty dammed good compared to other earphones you get with portable audio players.

Dont burn the cd's at a high speed though, this can cause the buffer to not buffer the mp3 properly causing what seems like skips. I turned the speed down from 8x to 4x and i tried to make it skip and i just could not. I can be a bit big for pockets.

Also, the headphone socket is set a little bit to deeply into the plastic and the earphones supplied have trouble keeping in place when the cable is going down towards the open button on the player. Simple fix is to take a sharp knife to the ridge on the earphones and to cut a small peice of.

Works great now. Ive got some Ni-Mh rechargable batteries and they work fine in it giving me about 8 - 10 hours playback. Universal alkalines though give near 12 hours.

I have noticed that sometimes, while its playing it will change to another track completely on it own and every now and then there is a hicup in sound but i believe this to be down to me using re-writable cd's rather than CD'Rs
