Summary: AWFUL! Broke after a week.
Review: I bought this off Amazon brand new, and after 1 week, when I put a disc in, nothing would happen when I pushed play or anything. I put brand new batteries in and still, nothing.DO NOT BUY THIS JUST FOR THE PRICE! SPEND $20 MORE DOLLARS AND BUY A CD PLAYER THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!

Summary: Companies need to seriously improve on cd player technology
Review: I didn't get this brand, i got the MD6445 45 sec anti-shock with car kit...and i'm very sorry i did. I had the unit for 5 days and in the middle of a song it just stopped working! Since then, i keep getting a "no disc" error in the display. Believe me, i suspected the discs were the problem too, and checked them. They were NOT the problem. I did some checking on the internet and it seems that this is a very common problem with Memorex. As a matter of fact, it's a common problem with many, if not all, brands - even Sony! To make matters worse, i went on their website, and they didn't have a customer support link! I won't buy from Memorex again just for that. It's so unprofessional! My suggestion people - whichever brand you buy, keep your warranty and purchase receipts...something that i didn't think to do. You may get lucky and get a good unit, then again, you may be like me and many, many others who threw away a good 40 - 50 bucks - if not more!

Summary: poorly designed, not worth your money
Review: As noted in other reviews, this product has *very* limited battery life. It didn't come with an AC power source. It also has no hold button, which means I have to take out the batteries when I'm not listening. also, it often can't pause, fast forward or reverse on cd's I've burned myself. Its lid closes so poorly it only plays cd's if I can hold it flat or press the lid down -- definitely not for working out. Overall, a purchase I regret making.

Summary: Nice Player; Great Value for the Price
Review: In the world of MP3 players, this one may be considered a bit past its prime now (as of 8/2003), but I still use mine nearly every day and really like it. Do I want an iPod that can carry 10,000 songs? You bet! Can I settle for a player that can carry 100 MP3 songs on a 10-cent CD, and sells for less than 10% of the cost of the iPod? Sure! I find the sound quality to be quite acceptable, though most of the EQ settings only distort the sound - not improve it (don't worry, the standard setting is pretty good). Controls aren't very intuitive, but can be navigated without too much trouble. The display, while not large, is clear and makes it easy to identify tracks and artists. Battery life is good - especially if you're using some nickel-metal hydride rechargeables (not included). While not recommended for jogging, the player seems quite forgiving of general movement, with a generous skip protection window. So if you're not worried about being "cutting edge cool," but just want an inexpensive way to listen to MP3's, this is a great little player for the money.

Summary: Best Bang for the Buck.
Review: Find another MP3 CD Player for this price, and with a recognizable brand name on it. I did a ton of research prior to purchasing this player, and I just kept comming back to the price, feature for feature it is basically the same as models that cost alot more. Lets face it it is a PORTABLE player, every one that I have owned gets dropped, smashed, left, or stolen before I ever wear it out. Why not spend as little as possible and enjoy the product and not have to worry about loosing, or breaking it all the time. If it gets broken who cares, heck, buy 2 or 3 and have a back up player for the day when it gets broken, it happens to all of them eventually, yes even the expensive models. No I don't think a more expensive model is more durable. I have had this model for quite some time now, I think about 6 months. I Skate with it, work out with it, bike with it, and yes it has taken a few tumbles and is scratched, and dented, but it still works, now if it were an expensive model when it crashed to the ground the first 20 times I would have been really upset, but at this price, I'll just get another one. ... I think I am going to buy another one just in case next time mine hits the pavement it gives up the ghost.

Summary: Should have known better
Review: After learning many opinions on this player, several of which were negative, I decided that I would go ahead and give this product a chance anyway. BIG MISTAKE! Basically, it flat out didn't work. From the very moment I tried it (and with various types of CD's) it would start up and leave a message on the LCD saying "no disc." It was highly frusterating and even the technical support line way inadequate at best. Generally speaking, I like Memorex products. However, this one could be used only as little more than an overpriced jewel case. Even my off-brand cheap one is more reliable.

Summary: Great product, easy to use, highly recommended!!
Review: I was looking for a quality, but not to expensive CD player at the store. I saw this and was amazed! The buttons are greatly laid out, and it is super easy to use. Just press play and you're in business! Displays the title, author, and album of any MP3 CD. The person that said this is a fiasco forgot a minor detail, (more like major), finalizing the CD! This has always worked for me and always will!

Summary: A disappointment.
Review: I purchased the player on sale, and thought I found a great deal. However, after using the machine for a week or two of commuting I realized that I had made a mistake in choosing price over quality. I ended up replacing this player within a month of its purchase. Some of the major problems:
Battery juice - Plays about 4-5 CDs before the "low battery" signal starts up, and then dies after the 7th or so. I hoped the player would be a bargain, but soon realized that the frequent battery replacements make this - ultimately - a costly purchase. Burned disks - While it sometimes works, the play of burned CDs is sketchy at best. 50% of the time, burned CDs will skip. Futhermore, though I've tried with multiple programs and multiple computers, I have yet to succeed in playing a CD full of MP3s. Minor problems (ones that are tolerable given the low price):
Sound quality - If outdoors or in a loud environment, it's fine. With little background noise, however, you can hear a whole lot of hiss in the sound, sort of like an old dubbed tape that has been played a few too many times. Interface - Slow to respond to skipping. Also, some sort of equalizer is ever-present (and annoying), and even if having one is your sort of thing keep in mind that it doesn't seem to match up with the music AT ALL. (Battery-draining) eye candy, I guess.

Summary: Value for the money
Review: This cheap discman plays well and has a lot of features considering the low price. I was looking for a cheap discman for my eight years old daugther. I wanted a discman, which was able to play MP3 files. This one does the job, shows the title and the artist in the display and does it all very well. My daugther listen to it before she goes to sleep, in the car and all day long. Great present!
Only disappointment was the headphones. The wire has got a loose connection, so I had to find some other headphones for her. But my daugther is probably the one to blame...

Summary: This player was nearly a fiasco
Review: I was psyched when this player went on sale and thought this was the player I had been waiting for. Instead, I'm here writing another review about how this player is a disappointment. Simply put, the player wouldn't recognize burned MP3 CDs, ordinary CDs, or CDRWs. I tried: * Three different ordinary CDs. * Two burned MP3 CDs of different brands. * Two sets of batteries, both fresh. * Powering it externally through a transformer. The player worked only twice, and then only hesitantly and briefly, once with an ordinary CD, and once with a burned MP3 CD, but it stopped after a few seconds with the latter. The problem appeared to be the focusing of the laser. When the player is booted and searches for the CDs the laser focusing lens repeatedly swings up and down while the CD is spinning..., but the player only displays "CD Error". So, if you are like me and are waiting for another killer bargain, I suggest you wait some time longer. Perhaps the mythical ueber MP3/CD/Radio/ID-Text below ... exists out there, somewhere. As a post-script: this player seems to work for some people, and simply not for others, so your chances are probably, ballpark, 50/50.
