Review of Sony CD / MP3 player

The Perfect cd player

Advantages: looks good, easy 2 use, huge batery life, 30cds onto 1
Disadvantages: headphones + software provided

...I came across this product whilst bored after doing my homework, fantasising about an ipod so I could store all my music. Whilst searching around the Internet I stumbled over many CD Mp3 players. I'd never heard of them before so I was intrigued to find out more. I had owned a Sony Minidisc player for about 2 years, and had become fed up with having to change the Minidisc every so often (yes I'm very lazy!) and it had become broken and did not want to send it of to the manufacturers to mend it which would have been very costly. A CD Mp3 player can store up to 30 albums onto one CD. This is very handy and by far easier than my previous Minidisc player is. This CD player comes with 2x AA alkaline rechargeable batteries which makes it possible to enjoy non-stop audio entertainment for up to 150 hours!!!! THE SOFTWARE Included...

Arcam CD82 Compa -what!? What a mouthful!

Advantages: Slender design
Disadvantages: Kind of expensive/ Not upgradable like some Arcam products

...The silver slender looking Arcam CD82 Compact Disc Player is a mid-range CD player that has been designed and built to act as the ideal half-way point between the CD72 and CD92 in the Diva range. My brother has owned one for a fair while now and the CD82 is an extremely capable CD player. The box to the CD player informs us that state of the art audiophile design techniques are incorporated. Apparently, these are commonly found on players which would normally cost consumers thousands of pounds to purchase. The helpful instruction manual that comes with it informs us that the CD player utilizes very high quality Burr Brown op-amps in the output stage. Included is a high-stability Class 1 crystal oscillator in the DAC module. The player also utilizes two 24-bit 192 kHz Wolfson DACs, which is in a dual-mode configuration. One...

Review of Arcam CD 82 Compact Disc Player

The Delorean of CD Players

Advantages: Vertical CD Mechanism & Great Sound Quality
Disadvantages: No Tape or MP3

...listed on ebay, but it is well worth looking around. ** Technical Data ** High Res Sound (2.8224 MHz - which is apparently good) 100 W Output Power - 2 speakers 2 band RDS Radio Bass/Treble Control 1-Bit Digital Amplifier ** Conclusion ** Well worth the money you'll get one these days. It was probably one of the best CD players of its days, with great sound quality and other nice quirks. Thanks for Reading...

Review of Sharp SD-EX200H / CD Micro System

Cd player

Advantages: small and thin
Disadvantages: small batteries

...Hi I would like to recommend CD Player. It is made by a not very much know brand.The brand is 'Thomson'.It cost me £60 pounds and can be purchased from any good electrical store.I am now going to write a list of its features. I has- 45 sec ESPX(this means you can go running with it on and the CD will skip any music because it stores it in is memory 45 secs ahead). You have the option of surround sound or bass boost or ordinary sound quality. A pair of good quality ear phones are supplied. The actual CD players is very thin so it can fit into your pocket. It uses two AAA batteries(very small and thin). If you buy two rechargeable AAA batteries you can charge them up in the CDplayer by putting them in the battery port and plugging it in using the adapter supplied. Thers only one small problem because the batteries are small...

Review of Chumleywarner - CD players

mp3 cd player

Advantages: good battery life
Disadvantages: ?????

...the power of the audio tape gradually waned. After excessive use they had a habit of getting chewed up and snapping. Fortuitously it was about this time that the makers created the compact disc. They were a big hit with the people and soon became more popular than the audio tape. Everyone bought their audio tape collection again on compact disc and lo, were even more impressed. The makers were happy because they were selling their entire back-catalogues on the new format. The people were happy because there were no more chewed tapes and no more waiting to rewind or fast forward to their favourite songs. Could the people want for anything more? Of course they could. The people soon found that they had trouble fitting the new fangled compact disc in their walkmans and demanded something more suitable. The makers responded with the CD...

Review of Sony CD / MP3 player

Me and my daughter, shaking our bootys!

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...This is one of the presents my daughter received for her sixth birthday earlier this year . It's basically a CD player aimed at children 3 years and over, and as my daughter has recently developed a bit of an interest in singing along with music, I decided this would be an ideal present for her . There are red, blue and pink ones, the pink version was chosen for my daughter . This isn't a toy - its a real CD player, but with big chunky buttons which clearly tell you what they are for, its so very simple for a child to use . The Cd's load in at the front, where there are some attractive flower decorations, and it's easy to open the player by pressing the button the release the catch . At the sides of the player are clips housing two microphones (with their own separate volume controls, which allow my daughter (and me when I get roped...

Review of Early Learning Centre Singalong CD player

How the hell do I play an MP3 CD ...

Advantages: Range of features, reads CD-RW audio CDs, anti-shock, built-in battery charger
Disadvantages: Tricky to set up an MP3 CD to work with it, no backlight to the display, unresponsive buttons

...to use it while driving is the quality of the buttons. They are very hard to push down, feel cheap and are somewhat unresponsive. Ideally, this unit could have done with an inline remote control. One of the more impressive features is the anti-shock. Okay, all portable CD players come with anti-shock as standard but this one doesn't skimp on it with a 45 seconds ASP for CD mode and 120 seconds for MP3! The volume is pretty reasonable. Most people would find it perfectly loud ... I have poor hearing but it's fine for me at full volume. Now we come to the biggest problem of this unit. It is EXTREMELY fussy when it comes to reading and playing MP3 CDs. Whether this is a continuing problem with Windows XP, I'm not sure. Microsoft have released a patch for XP to fix known issues about getting MP3 CDs to work with units like the 372...

Review of Goodmans CDMP372 MP3 CD Players

A decent CD player for £30? You must be joking.

Advantages: It is very cheap, sounds good and plays CDs - what more do you want?
Disadvantages: Build quality is poor. Fiddly buttons on the remote

...OK, it is normally priced at forty quid, but the nice people at Richer Sounds were having a sale. I have seen it at £20 on the net. You could buy a CD for that price! Unfortunately, I don't think it is available anywhere else, and may be hard to find.When I looked on Richer Sound's website, they did not have any in stock. However, it is worh looking on ebay for this. The Eclipse is made in China and it is not going to win any design awards. The remote in particular has tiny, rubbery buttons on it, which are too close together and don't have a satisfying feel to them. On the player too, the controls are not very well laid out, with a centre mounted CD unit that actually obstructs some of the buttons when it ejects. This might not be a problem, you might think, as you aren't going to be using them with the tray out anyway - but to...

Review of Eclipse CD102

in the blue mp3/cd player

Advantages: Good basic player
Disadvantages: reliability lets it down

...I was given this player to keep me occupied on my many long bus and train journeys. THE PLAYER This is a Japanese mp3 and CD player, which comes in a silver and blue top with a grey base. It is 13cmx13cmx2½cm which is about average size, so its more bag sized than pocket sized. It comes with an adapter and ear bud type headphones. It only has a small display area, so only displays limited information on it, such as which track and album or how long the song has been playing for. There are also little icons to display what modes you have it on, which are discussed later. The buttons are fairly small, so not fab it you are fumbling about in the dark or going under a tunnel, or if you have any arthritic type problems that makes it difficult to press small buttons. The overall appearance is nice and suitable for male or female...
