Beatman 2!

Advantages: Can fit alot of music onto one CDRW
Disadvantages: poor buffering.... maybe due to cd's written to fast, eats batteries!

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 ...
...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 ...

Review of Freecom Mini CD / MP3 player

The street machine brings portable music into the 21st century.

Advantages: Great range of features. has a great battery life. is quite loud, with great base.
Disadvantages: quite heavy. some of the smaller parts are less durable.

Firstly the Steepletone Street machine is an impressive product. It boasts a huge range of features and different music formats you can use. My first impression, when my street machine arrived in the post, was that it is a great looking product. it houses a classic look with a 2st century twist. All 8 corners have protectors, the 20w sub woofer has metal grills for protection and each 5 watt speaker has plastic speaker protectors. If thats not enough ...
...wheels with a pull out handle, kind of like a suitcase. the street machine really is very durable, iv had mine fall out of a tree twice to simply roll along the floor still playing and it has been dropped god knows how many times. the only thing that has gone wrong with my street machine is that the ipod dock has come loose. here is a full list of the features: >High Powered SD/USB/iPOD MP3 "Boom Box" > "No Moving Parts Music" > Tough Trolley style ...

Review of Steepletone Street Machine

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 ...

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 ...
