I have owned this mp3/cd for a few years now and I have to say I like the general idea, but after using an mp3 player I rued my purchase. Sony's latest offering is solid and durable, the idea is that you put 30 cd's onto one disk using the software. The software is awful! It took me a whole day to do 24 albums before realizing i had no CDRs left and had to start again the next day as there is no save feature. On the plus side though the player itself is light, durable and doesn't skip. Finding a song is quite hard work due to annoying menus. The players sound quality is good but the packaged earphones should be binned straight away as they are poor. What made me dislike this device is its sheer bulk, in are new mp3 dominated world small is everything and this is way too big. If you want to do sport or cycle/ run while using this forget it, buy something else but if you dont its a reasonable budget choice.
