Summary: Old Technology
Review: About 4 months ago I purchased this player since I wanted to have a mp3 player and burning the music on a cd and being able to play them as well as other cd's was/is a very cheap and attractive alternative to what else is out there. Also the player was much cheaper itself and if it worked it would had given me 650 mb of memory on each cd for less than a dollar. Well, here is an old wisdom, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is not. That is my experience with this player. It skips more than my first cd-walkman I had purchased in 1986! This is a sad story because I wish I could tell you more about its sound quality, but I can't because all I had was skip, skip, skip and guess what a little more skip even with original cd's. Besides the fact that it did not play, one could see the quality of technology used for this player from its very primitive LCD display. I returned the product within a week and purchased a Nomad II MG (I have a review of it too). The final word is, if you can wait a little longer for mp3 to be included in a portable way into your daily life, do so; but if you "need" want it right away, stay away from this good looking but low quality player that does not play.

Summary: This is junk
Review: I also bought one of these ... It is cheaply made and gotexactly 1-hour of play on a fresh set of batteries. When I calledD-Link for an explanation, there answer was "Yeah, that's aboutwhat you'll get". No wonder it is so deeply discounted, they'retrying to pass off their mistake on you! I took it back after severaldisappointing days.

Summary: So easy to use, Even I can do it, ... with a little help
Review: I am by no means a computer guru, but my son knows more than he should about computers. I don't know how to make MP3 CDs or much on how they work, but one thing I do know is that this D-Link player can play them and when I am at work I can listen to 4 or 5 albums on one CD. That to me is what is all comes down to.Full Albums of different artists on one CD. Why hasn't this become more popular? Why don't the record companies make CDs in MP3 format? I love this little device and even though I have to ask my son to make me a CD with MP3s on it, I still can't believe this is available and everyone isn't taking advantage of it. Go out and buy one of these today, you wont have to lug around your CD collection and as long as you or someone you know knows how to make the CDs it will be well worth it.

Summary: Works well for the money
Review: I bought the D-Link MP3 player in July. I had read on previous reviews that there could be issues with a deep folder system so I burned my CDs without any folders. It worked just fine! Pros:
1. The buttons are firm, the T-digit feature is awesome as you will want to skip to a particular song # if you ran out of battery or took the CD out.
2. The body is pretty strong - I dropped it once and although the case opened and spat the CD out, it was unharmed.
3. It comes with an adaptor to power it all the time.
4. It also has 2 output jacks- headphone and line-out.
4. The bass boost worked well.
5. Overall audio quality is good and except for skips (almost every MP3 CD will skip a little) the listening experience is good and long. Cons:
1. The case looks cheap and plasticky.
2. I could never get any of my rechargable AAs to recharge in the player and I have a variety of Alkaline, Ni-Cad and metal hydride batteries. The manual suggests specific brand names for batteries (I think maybe Sony/Panasonic...not sure). I don't know if its just mentioning those or REALLY will work only with those batteries.
3. Even my best rechargables only lasted 2-3 hrs a pair.
4. The headphones are poor- audio quality-wise and ergonomics-wise. Also, I found that the headphone jack might be off in diameter by just a hair than the standard size - it worked fine with D-link's own headphones but was a little too snug with a 3rd party headphone, and after couple of uses, the headphones deformed the metal clip inside the jack so it no longer formed snug connection with any headphone. I had to jig it around to get it 'just so' so as to get full stereo. Luckily I originally intended the MP3 player as a feed into my amp and speaker system so I could still use it with its Line-Out. Just something to be careful about.
5. A one-two second shake breaks through its anti-skip.
6. When you first use it, be aware that a 'hold' button might be on, preventing play of CD. It alarmed me at first; then I read the manual and figured it out. Its probably the most useless, confusing and non-intuitive function this devise has. Hold ON means what? that CD/device will not play? pause? or that the device will now hold the CD? Similarly Hold OFF was as confusing - that the device will not hold the CD and pop it out? or its no longer paused?? I think D-link and other vendors need to be careful when introducing quirky new features in consumer devices. I am sure D-link didn't do much usability testing of this feature.
7. Finally, every MP3 CD I played in the device skipped at least a little. Sometimes it was the same songs from the same place, others it was at random. But once I put it down, the skips reduced quite a bit. (...)As for skips, only worry about it if there is a player on the market that WILL NOT skip when stationary, (about as reliable as CD-only CD players). If all players skip, D-link is one of your best bets due to its price.

Summary: Mediocre purchase at best
Review: I bought this unit at a Circuit City about two months ago, and I'm sending it back this week. The best thing I can say about this player is that it's cheaper than the others. The faults with the CD100 are many: there is no search function, so in order to skip songs you have to hit the forward button endlessly. The sound quality is awful: on the MP3 CD I recorded, notes were distorted and wavered constantly, and there was static in the background. Many of the tracks on the CD refused to play, or played in a stop-and-start manner. When I tested the CD out in a freind's Memorex unit, it worked without a hitch. Some other minor problems: the case is ugly, the buttons are unresponsive, loading even a regular CD can take 15 or 20 seconds, and the shock protection is oddly sketchy. And plan to spend a lot on batteries: the most hardy pair I used in this player died after three-quarters of a swimming meet. If you want a good MP3-CD player, stick to the Memorex or Philips. Either one is much better and worth the extra price. D-Link clearly has a ways to go before it gets audio devices right.

Summary: Easy to use and Works Just Perfect For Me
Review: I don't exactly "need" a portable MP3 Player. But it sure is nice. I can't get enough of the fact that I can put over 100 songs on one CD. Why isn't this technology in every CD player now made? It works just fine for me wheather i am at work, school, or on the way home in the car. If you purchase the External AC adapters, (Radio Shack) you will find your whole set-up very usefull. I would buy this again because it is so inexpensive, and works like it says, and there couldn't be a better option for someone like me.

Summary: Great Value with Awesome Quality and Features
Review: I don't know of any other portable CD player that has MP3 capabilities, so you can't beat the price. Especially for what you get. With innovative features like the T.Digit button, which enables you to quickly skip to the song you want with out having to press the skip button literally 100 times, this player is inexpensive and convenient. I can't get enough of the whole MP3 revolution, but I don't exactly have the funds to play with all of the coolest toys out there. At first I just wanted to see just how much more efficient MP3 format is because you can fit around 100+ songs on one CD, and most CDs only have 12-15. I would say that it is now truly a Compact Disc. I can now listen to the majority of my CD collection at work with out having to bring 30+ CDs to work and risk leaving them there, getting scratched up, and not to mention the convenience of not having to change the CD every 13 or so songs. All I have to do is plug it into the wall at work with the AC adapter put on my headphones and I get great sound, portability, and I don't get bothered too much when I have my headphones on.

Summary: Average MP3-CD Player
Review: I got the D-Link DMP-CD100 CD juss a couple of days ago, and it turned out kind of below average. The great thing about the CD-Player is that it can play CD's consisting of over 100 MP3's and the price is acceptable. On the negative side, the CD-Player skips a lot, and there is no ESP (electronic skip protection) when playing MP3's. Also, when playing regular CD's, the player skips often even with ESP on. My opinion, if you really are broke, and need a MP3-CD player, this one is for you. But if you really want one with good quality, then don't get this at all...

Summary: Nice value
Review: I got this player about a year ago when it first came out (at about $150) and it still works perfectly. The sound quality is great (even for mp3) and mine seems to go for several hours straight on a regular set of Duracells. Its only real downfall is that the anti-shock isn't very good, and if you're listening to mp3 tracks, the track will not recover if the player is bumped. You actually have to stop it all together and hit play all over again. At today's price, though, I think it's definitely worth it.
