Panasonic SL SX402

Advantages: good sound quality, good D sound anti-skip system, earphone remote control, plays mp3 and wma
Disadvantages: doesn't support ID3tags

I have had the Panasonic SL SX420 for awhile now, and I am very happy with its performance. I was looking for a cd/mp3 portable player that would be sylish, with long lasting batteries and with a good anti-skip system. SL SX420 offers all of it. The player has a similar design as other Panasonic cd players with the main function buttons (memo, mode, eq, play, stop, ff, rew, nad volume)on the front of the player. The only functions that are on the ...
...you have left. And finally, Panasonic did really good job with the anti-skip system. I can do almost everything with this cd player without making it skip. People who run with cd players have probably experienced the skipping with some older cd players but my SL SX430 has not skipped once yet. I love this cd player and would recommend it to everyone who does not want to spend a fortune on a good mp3 cd player but wants to get a quality item. ...

This Rocks

Advantages: Long battery life; Sturdy; good earphones
Disadvantages: bulky; wont play .wma files

The SL-MP35 can play normal cd's, (cda) as well as the mp3 format. to those of you reading this who don't know much about the pro's and con's of the mp3 format, i am going to give a brief overview. to everyone else here, go onto part b. a. mp3 started out as a computer music format which is more compressed than the music found on the normal audio cd's. an mp3 song is about 10 times smaller in size than the cda format. this means that on one cd you ...
...cda songs. this does however have a few side effects such as the sound quality of an mp3 is not quite as good as with cda. also the mp3 is compressed in a way that needs special decoding for playback and recording, so you need a special player to hear them. the sl-mp35 does this. Mp3's can be made using a computer by "ripping" the songs from your cda albums, and can then be burnt onto a cd (you need a cdrw drive for this). b. The sl-mp35 was my choice ...

Highly recommended!

Advantages: Sturdy**Good Sound Quality**Stylish Design**Decent XBS System**No skips even if I try! **Gives good volume
Disadvantages: Sub par earphones

...need to change them. This panasonic takes ordinary AA alkaline batteries or rechargables. Now let me tell you, I am not the most careful person in the world and I need to express to you now the sturdiness of this player. I have dropped it, on a hard wood floor. The player was no different and did not even skip! In fact, I cannot get this player to skip even if I try my hardest, and I have tried. I even inserted one of my oldest, not unblemished ...
...for about 30 seconds before giving up. This player plays everything! Even mini CDs! Believe me, I am one picky person but I am writing this now to fully recommend this player to anyone who is considering buying it. It is extremely good quality for the price and I'd say most people would be satisfied with it. ...

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 ...

Can't afford an iPod? Try this...

Advantages: plays WMA and MP3
Disadvantages: uncomfortable ear piece (just buy some decent headphones)

...thrilled when I found the Panasonic SL SX425S for just £70 which could not only play MP3 but the much smaller WMA - which are roughly half the size but remain the same quality as the MP3 You can cram as many songs as you like onto a CD-R or CD-RW and it will play them, although beware when playing WMA the battery power can go down pretty quickly! The general layout and style is good, and it looks very attractive, there is also a useful "Hold" button ...
...on... Another of the Panasonic SL SX425S useful features is its display screen which shows the song number you are playing and the time remaining, you can also alter some of the features, so that your songs sound better, for example their is a setting for live songs and for those rock songs which you want a bit more of a beat with! The sound quality is excellent, but I really depends on what you put on your CD, if your original is poor then of ...
