Description:

The metallic silver RCA RP2488 portable CD player combines eye-catching slim styling--it's less than an inch thick!--and advanced features like support for MP3, mp3-PRO, and Windows Media Audio formats, as well as high-powered SmartTrax navigation. It even includes MusicMatch MP3 recording software to get you started burning your own MP3 CDs with up to 10 hours of music. Up to an incredible 720 seconds of esp-Xtreme skip protection with mp3-PRO files (and an impressive 180 seconds for audio CDs) makes this CD player virtually skip-free in most conditions and a great choice for joggers and runners.

The CD player's SmartTrax navigation technology helps you quickly access specific songs or playlists among the hundreds of tracks on an MP3/WMA-encoded CD-R/CD-RW. Using a library of computer-generated identification tags to identify digital audio files by title, artist, album, year, genre, and track number, the SmartTrax file-management system can "read" song data from your recordable CDs, letting you view song data and create playlists at the touch of a button. SmartTrax can read the song data even before the song is played. A four-line dot-matrix display shows SmartTrax data and allows 30-track/folder programmability.

Other playback features include Digital Bass Boost Surround for extra low-end slam and added musical depth, three preset equalization settings, and a hold switch to prevent unintended interruptions in playback (and to save batteries by negating playback when the player is stopped). The unit operates for approximately 20 hours on three AAA batteries, either alkalines or rechargeables (no batteries included), and a handy inline remote control lets you travel in style with all major operational functions at your fingertips.
