Summary: A Problem Solver For Sure
Review: I purchased this item so that I could hook it up to my home theater system and listen to my mp3 cds. It plays all burned cds with no problems, unlike my 'Bose Home Theater System' and my 'Sanyo Home Theater System'. I am buying another one today so I can hook one up in my bedroom and one in the living room. I have done extensive research on foot and on the internet and this player hooked up to my aux input line is my best solution. As I said I have two other home theater systems that say they play mp3 cds but they are terrible at it. Won't read disc right or skip over alot of songs. The Aiwa unit performs great. If you are in the same situation as me then you can't go wrong with this unit. I keep it stationary so the anti skip doesn't affect me. Hope this helps in your decision.

Summary: Great performer, not quite up to Aiwa standards..
Review: I used this unit for one week, several hours at a time. Performance is flawless, plays my whole collection of MP3's without a problem. The only complaints I have about the XPMP3C is the fact that there is _no_ EASS function with MP3 CD's! Why not? Also, the unit has a cheap feel to it; it feels too light! Not at all like Aiwa's MD line... For 180 I'd expect a remote.. Aiwa: replace the "car kit" with a simple corded in-line remote!!

Buy Aiwa though, it is superior to the no name brands out there..

Summary: Great product, great price
Review: I've had this for a couple of weeks now,
and I'm really happy with it. Things I like:

It has a Folder skip button, in addition to a track
skip, which makes navigation easy as long as you
divide your tracks into folders when you burn
a CD.

You can fast forward through tracks in MP3 mode.

Has ID tag support, so it will scroll the names of
tracks on the screen.

I use it in my car driving on roads full of potholes,
and it doesn't skip even in mp3 mode.

You can put at least 15 hours of music on one CD!

For the people who complain about these mp3 players
being sensitive to the way a CD is burned, burn
all your mp3 CDs at 2x speed or less, and you
shouldn't have any problems.

I've read bad reviews of players that cost almost twice
the amount of this one, and this player comes with
a car kit. I've read a lot about mp3 cd players before
finally chosing this one because it had such a low price
and a lot of features, and think I made a good choice.

The only thing some people might not like is that the player
is probably 50 percent thicker than most players, but I figure
this makes it more durable, and I either use it at home hooked
up to my home stereo, or in the car so the size does not bother me.

Summary: YOU ASK TOO MUCH
Review: The little toy does exactly what you want it to do, it plays MP3's and playes audio cd's, plus you can look, select and even read albums and guess what the mp3 tag and the file name (the dot matrix screen it's like a banner)
So I give a hell if the EASS doesn't work with the mp3's, so what the car kit is just heaven, the little buddy eats and drinks batteries not like the instruction manual says (10 hours yeah right), so just plug the ac adapter or the car adapter, or charge, yes it charges batteries (rechargeble).
The reading that is a little slow but is has to detect if is a mp3 disc or audio cd, but in mp3's you can see every album, and if you put the resume, you can stop and turn it off, and when your feeling in the mood for music again just push play and it starts in the song you last heard whitout reading (only when its pluged or it has batteries, if not it reads the whole cd again).
You hear the music, low sound it isn't on this baby, high volume and really deep (it has 2 levels of deep sound), so buy this discman is cheap and cool, plus your not going to put it to play in a rocky road or in the wild and savage world (must be insane, instead of that throw it to the floor then if that is the use your gonna give it), is just for home and car use, plus it jumps ancd it resume in a moment (1 second) and plays the song or mp3 just where it got cut.
Look is not perfect, but is better than most of the others.

Tip buy a cable and plug it to your stereo is a loud sensation (AUX or VIDEO L-R).

Summary: I was miss lead
Review: This product does everything that it clames. The only problem is that when it says it has electronic skip protection, they dont tell you that the ANTI-SKIP DOESN'T WORK FOR MP3s. Anti skip only works for CDs. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. Everything else works fine. it even looks cool. A great feature is that it will charge rechargeable batties.
I work with sound and music a lot. The way that MP3s sound though this player, I suspect that the output is compressed. (this means that maximum sound quality is not being achived. If you do buy this, also order a good set of headphones.
Over all, if this product were cheaper, I would recommend it to my friends.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: OK
Review: This product is not a good cd-mp3 player. When you burn mp3's the player has very bad quality sound. The volume is very staticy. The regular cd player is fine. I dont suggest to buy it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Good except that it is very sensitive to mp3 burn
Review: This unit does all that I wanted from my MP3-CD player; search capabilty within a mp3 file, resume play, restart exactly where I left, album & track names display etc, which my other mp3 player (Philips exp 101) was not doing all that well. No shock resistance for mp3, but it hasn't really skipped alot and I am happy with it. But my only complaint is this unit is so sensitive to the way the burner has burnt. I had to make several tries before it could understand the files in it. But with my Philips it is a breeze. For the price and performance this one is a good buy.
