Portable MP3 CD Players

long term partner

Advantages: excellent performer, last forever
Disadvantages: extra base not very effective.

...so they offered me the Panasonic SL MP3 CD to keep me happy, even though it was a few pounds more expensive than sony's. I took it grudgingly thinking panasonic wont be as good as sony. Never have i been so wrong, till today 2006,this Mp3 CD player has not turned off on me once. The CDs I use with it now are stil compatible with its sofware. I use Dvd discs for MP3 songs holding Up to 8,000 songs and the player is still reading every song. I have ...
...that has not aged or needed updataing or replaced apart from this player. I must admit i have given the poor fella a hard time these few years but he never let me down yet. Even though the player has not let me down however the adaptor and headphones that it came with have both been replaced twice, they just stopped working. ther is and xtra bass feature button which from day one has not really added much bass to the music. the rest of the features ...

Sony Cd/Mp3 Player

Advantages: Good Value for money, Easy To Use
Disadvantages: A bit on the big side for me.

When i seen this player in the shop the first impression i got was Round, saucer like and easy to hold. I found it had Good sound especially with good head phones. The battery life is very strong compared to other players i have come accross. Line out for connecting to speakers. mp3 or atrac playback includes the folder system, easier to navigate through 100-200 songs on each cd. Can group songs in folders when you burn them so you dont have to hit ...

An Atrac-tive player

Advantages: Ultimate in portability, use in car or on foot
Disadvantages: Atrac cannot be used on any other players

...in the paper for the Sony D-NE518CK , a CD/mp3 player which came with a car kit that simply went into the cassette slot and you could get upto 30 hours of music one disc. My mouth dropped and I said “WOW, I've got to get one of them!!!”. So off I toddled to Argos and bought the CD Walkman for a princely £90, then as a nice bonus received a free 240 disc case and 5 CD-A (writeable CDs that can only be used like regular audio CDs). * * * * * * * ...
...on anything other than a Sony atrac system (not even the computer), and as such I found them pretty useless as I like to use my discs in other mp3 compatible players. * * * * * * * The Player * * * * * * * As one would expect from Sony the player is very stylish and sturdy. The sound quality was also excellent. I have so far used audio CDs, mp3 CDs, atrac CDs and CDs containing a mix of mp3 and atrac. All have played superbly with no skipping ...

All I got From This Is Happiness

Advantages: An atrac 3 , Great sound, Nice Look
Disadvantages: None

...asked my dad for a sony cd player, because i heard that sony is a very good company and the sound quality was great. So i wanted 1. He said yes i could have one. So on the day of my 13th b-day (16 may) we went to the 'sony store' and saw SO MANY different types of Cd Players, some with mp3, some without, some with g-protection ETC. I told my dad that i wanted one with MP3, The salesman came and showed me this one he said that this isnt only MP3 ...
...He told me that it was a program that you get for the computer, You can collect songs from audio cd's mp3 files etc. and burn upto 400 songs on 1 CD!! I didnt believe him and didnt care. I still liked that one and it was a reasonable price; it was $130.99can (im in canada for those who dont know). We then bought it. When i got home i tried it out. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!! It came with the CD Player, Basic Earphones, Manual, and the Atrac3plus software. ...

Advantages: Ability to play cd-r's and mp3's and good sound
Disadvantages: Doesn't come with its own rechargeable battery - this has to be purchased seperately

Advantages: Ability to play cd-r's and mp3's and good sound Disadvantages: Doesn't come with its own rechargeable battery - this has to be purchased seperately If you're like me and prefer handling your music rather than merely transferring data, (geez, I'd be up for a portable mini vinyl deck with headphones if it was easily transportable!) this isn't a bad little runner. The reason I purchased this rather than the multitude of other portable ...
...it could easily play re-writable cd's, and more importantly could read mp3 data from a cd. Not having a computer with a cd burner would make this less useful, but then any mp3 player without a computer isn't so much fun. As always the included headphones don't really do the sound justice, but if you have a nice set of your own you shouldn't be too disappointed. While this player has the ability to play mp3's, has good sound, good anti-skip and ...
