Pros Car Kit, long battery life
Cons Skips, locks up, no ID3 tag support, no VBR support, poor owner's manual
Recommended it? No

I purchased this CD player a few days ago and I'm going to send it back for a refund. I bought it because it seemed to be good quality (based on the specs) and had a long battery life compared to other players. Actually,I found out later that the battery life when playing MP3's is about half the... Read full review »

Why I bought this player

My Walkman was starting to wear out. Changing tapes was also a hassle. So I decided to upgrade my portable audio.

I compared the options. A CD player requires changing the discs every hour or so, Minidisc is expensive and MP3 players are expensive and... Read full review »

Pros No skipping, solid sound quality, came with car kit.
Cons poor quality headphone, lack of functions.
Recommended it? Yes

This model SL-MP50 came with car kit, I bought it from J&R online just few days after it became available. It is light and the buttons on the player feel very solid. Owning it for little over two month now, so far so good. Also, this player can play both format of the CDRs, Joliet and ISO.

Farts when you play MP3s!!! :-O

bybravoxena Apr 20, 2003
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Long battery life, great sound quality, very durable
Cons BAD mp3 playing
Recommended it? No

I got this CD player because of its mp3 support, but I soon found out that it wasn't so good with mp3s after all. Playing mp3s would spend 300% of the power it would spend playing a regular CD and there was a delay when loading songs. Later on through its life, it would make these loud farts while...

Pros None.
Cons Many. Battery life terrible w/MP3s, lock-ups, etc.
Recommended it? No

Do NOT buy it. The other reviewers got it right, it constantly locks up on many MP3s if it doesn't like them for whatever reason. But if your a chump like me and bought the POS without researching beforehand, then here is what you can do: go to Best Buy or wherever and buy specifically MUSIC CD-RWs... Read full review »

Pros Reliable playback of all CD's and CDR's, Car Kit
Cons Bad headphones, low power amp.
Recommended it? Yes

Does everything I needed a portable MP3 player to do. Sounds good and has played every audio and MP3 CD I have put in it. Most MP3s are at 192bps encoded using MusicMatch.

Amplifier is a bit weak, I use it into the Aux input in my Car Receiver and the volume has to be placed on max, (No... Read full review »

My first Portable MP3 player

Pros More compact than most, good sound quality, album mode
Cons Heavy skipping with High Bitrate MP3, no seek for MP3, no ID3tag or playlist support.
Recommended it? No

I'd give this an average overall rating. Sound quality is pretty good with the right earbuds. the unit plays fine with MP3 files at 192Kbps and lower, but seems to suffer from heavy skipping, and poor battery life at higher bit rates. I encode exclusively in 320Kbps format, and am experiencing less... Read full review »
