Summary: May be a cheap MP3 player....But BEWARE!!!
Review: I was in a search for an MP3 player much like yourself when i saw that this product appeared to be the best buy. It's sound quality is great and visually it is nice. HOWEVER...if you are on anti-shock mode don't expect your batteries to last much over 3 hours. And on regular mode you are lucky with 5 hours. It is not at all cost affective if you look at how much batteries are these days. I had mine for 6 months when all of a sudden it just stopped working. I treated this thing like my baby because being in college the money doesntcome easy. IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. I'm not the only one i heard this happened to either. It is in your best intrest to look somewhere.

Summary: What I Was Searching For
Review: I was looking for a disc MP3 player that could connect to my home stereo and give me quality sound. One that would play my high bit-rate music files and my old time radio mp3s. The Chromex player also plays regular and "home Burned" cds. In the month I've owned it it has worked perfectly. It was a little hard to understand the instructions. There are many functions and settings to familiarize yourself with. The manual seems like it was translated instead of being written by an English speaking tech writer. But you mastered the computer, you'll get this too. Want a great CD style MP3 player? Look no further.

Summary: Superior quality for less.
Review: I'm very proud to say that this player has been excellent. The technical support staff is responsible and very helpful. While it was being shipped I sent them an e-mail about information about the firmware upgrades and they replied within 30 mins. I myself work for technical support and we are not as efficient as these guys, kudos to Raul Montes at tech support; he really helped out. After doing all the upgrades I found there to be no problems at all. Although I did come accross something, the snake game has to be played from the remote control after performing all the upgrades. Awesome savings for a superior product.

Summary: Just Kickass!!
Review: This is an awesome player for the price it comes! I just got it day-before yesterday! I had a choice between the iMP-150 and a Rio, but I decided I ould buy this as it came with more features at a lower price. The blue backlight, the erogonomic remote control with easy-to-use jog buttons, the colours(Bloac+Silver/Metallic Grey+Silver) just added to the features of the power-packed gadget. It has its own programming functions in which you can change a lot of data on the CD-R from within the player! The sound is crystal clear and the equalizers(you can make your own as well) are amazing. However the Bass Boost didn't make a lot of difference. The anti-skip stays to its word. However the songs are sorted according to filename(if you don't download the playlist as such, that is). The firmware upgrade, where you can upgrade features is the icing on the cake!

Summary: Not as good as expected
Review: When I first bought this Cd/MP3 player I thought I was getting a great deal. Little did I know, now I find myself searching for a new Cd/MP3 player. There are a lot of good things about this also. With the headphones it comes with it has a very nice sound, the LCD is also very nice which makes it easy to navigate the hundred of songs you can put on one cd. The cons about this is when you are playing regular cd's it skip pretty easy, the battery life on a regular cd is very, very short, it is also very bulky. If all you are looking to do is play mp3 cd's then this is a good choice but if you are looking to play regular cd's I would go with a cd/mp3 player with a higher anti skip.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: kiddie player
Review: Yes, it has tons of features to fuss around with, but it is seriously lacking in the quality of sound. I gave it at least 2 stars because it would've been a really practical player if not for the ... sound. The sound is just sub par. I'm sending it back.
