Summary: Works great and Fits my needs Perfectly
Review: I have a CD Burner and I have been backing up my MP3s on CD for a while, as not to take up to much Hard Drive Space, and now I found a product that is in my price range and will play my MP3s on the go. I bought this from D-Link and then purchased a genaric tape player adapter and cigarette lighter power adapter. Now I can play all of my MP3s in my car. My CD collection has gone from 50+ to about 10 or 12 MP3 CDs. This product is perfect for people in my situation, I thought about just buying a MP3 enabled stereo for my car but I don't believe I will have my car for much longer and I didn't want to fork over so much money.

I am just glad that someone can make a reliable MP3 CD player with standard features (random, repeat, etc.) for under a 100 bucks.

Summary: Eats batteries and min. to start
Review: I owned this CD-player for 2 days and then returned it. I'm sure mine must have been a lemon, cause they can all be this bad. It took anywhere from 1 to 5 min. before it would play the first song, then after about 8 songs, the batteries went dead. So I put in a new pair, and again 8 to 12 songs later - dead batteries.., it also wouldn't play all the songs on the cd.
Even the sound quality was poor!

Summary: Forget all others This is the one.
Review: I paid about $89 for the Genica Taurus MP3 CD player. Let me tell you how big a mistake that was, it was defective, so I returned it and it took them 3 weeks to send me a new one, guess what that was more defective then the 1st.

Now for the DLINK. Its da bomb folks. It has bass boost, it charges your batteries with the AC adapter, it lets you enter what MP3 number you want, doesnt skip a whole lot, doesnt drain batteries quickly, its the greatest I have tried. Also its the cheapest at $39 after rebates and amazon coupons.

Buy DLINK stay away from GENICA

Summary: NOdisc
Review: I used it for two weeks. but now, i don't know why, I put in a disc (Audio CD or mp3 CD) and the LCD screen shows "NoDisc".

Summary: Simple and functional
Review: I was originally looking for just a standard CD player. I noticed this gem which plays MP3's and decided to try it out. It works quite well. I burned a disc with 124 MP3's scattered into various folders, popped it in, and was listening to music several seconds later. I researched the product before i bought it and had read several reviews saying that the product "skipped frequently" and had "a poor laser which wouldn't read cheap discs". To test this, I bought the cheapest discs I could find and burned my MP3's onto them. No problem. In addition, skipping is minimal in MP3 play, though standard CD play benefits from the ESP (shock protection) the player provides. Several reviewers complained about a delay while MP3 discs were being read into memory, but this was actually quite fast. If you want a portable MP3 player which will handle your audio CD's, pick this up. The ability to play carry around 10 hours of music in a small package will not disappoint you. My two complaints; the unit includes an internal NiCAD battery charger, but it only ships with Alkaline batteries. Also, the earbud headphones it ships with are subpar; I use a pair of Sony headphones with it.

Summary: Simple Portable CD player with MP3 Capabilities
Review: I was originally surprised that I could find a Portable CD player that was able to play MP3s. This worked out perfect for me because I have about 6-7 Gigabytes worth of MP3s on my computer. I had more but I backed up the albums I don't listen too much anymore onto CD-Rs.

I can now listen to those CDs and what ever else I want to make and free up some space on my hard drive. I was considering buying another hard drive but I figured I could buy this MP3 player and either play my backed up MP3s in my CD-ROM or this potable player.

The features on this are adequate considering the price, but I don't believe I need any more than what it comes with anyway. I have been using the DMP-CD100 from D-Link for a month now and I get some skips but not as much as everyone says in other reviews, I don't know if they are running while trying to listen to it or what, but it works great for me.

Summary: great player for about 9 months....
Review: I was very satisfied with the product in the beginning. I could burn my collection to about 4 CD's, and then I could go wherever I wanted, and be able to call up any song I wanted. I was especially impressed with the T-Digit function...That was 9 months ago. Things have since grown progressively worse. Now, I find that it doesn't play MP3 CD's anymore...It only plays Audio CD's now. I tried to contact the D-Link support people, and got a prompt, but unfruitful response. They told me to return it to them, and to do so by contacting the RMA department...so i cantacted the RMA department, and recieved no response...It's been over a week, and still no response! So much for customer satisfaction...If they had created a descent product, I wouldn't be dissatisfied, and I would be writing this review with a seriously different tone...

Summary: Blah!
Review: Me and this MP3 player never seemed to hit it off. It skips everywhere--even in the car--so the music I'm listening to gets interupted left and right. The battery life is horrific, the sound quality is ok, but man, what's the point if you can't walk around with your portable player if it skips? I wouldn't recommend this if you like to actually move around.

Summary: One of the worst products I have ever owned!
Review: Not only does D-Link make cheap generic imitations of real network products, but now this. Worst of all they are still in business. The earphones are extremely uncomfortable and it chewed up a 5 dollar pack of Duracell Ultras in less than 1.5 hours and it skips! Welp, you get what you pay for! Thank goodness for my Sony MZR-90 Minidisc with 35 hours of playback and sounds better too!

Summary: Great Value and Very Convenient
Review: Personally the CD type MP3 players are my favorite because theyare much cheaper and hopefully, some time soon, every CD player willhave the ability to play MP3s.

D-Link has made a good MP3 player forthe cost. Just remember that you get what you pay for. If you payover [more$] for an MP3 player than you are going to get a featurerich, large capacity type MP3 player. But for [less$] you can't getmuch.

Except when it comes to this D-Link branded CD type MP3player... This MP3 player has a T.Digit function, which I have onlyheard of on this product, that works great. What it does is it letsyou enter the track number of say 103 instead of having to press skipa hundred times. Very Nice!

And of course it has all of the standardfeatures like play, stop, skip, random, etc. I use this mostly in mycar, but when I take a plane trip or something I like to bring italong and only have to bring a couple of CDs instead of my whole CDcollection.

Recommended for the value and convenience factor.
