I bought this a while ago and im rather pleased with it. It works good as a cd player and it never has skipped on me. The mp3 cds can hold ver 100 songs and are VERY COOL!!!! un fortunatly, some of my mp3 files didn't play through the cd player, and some didnt even show up on the display. It is kind of difficult to make a cd and get it formatted right. Several of the cds i made didnt work at all, and it took several tries to get my first mp3 cd working, but once i did it was very usefull. The text search feature is kind of cool but i never use it. When u can get an mp3 cd to work it is very cool but it is kind of hard. RThe manual sucks. The cd player is kind of bulky so i wouldnt try jogging with it. but most mp3 cd players are pretty big. It gets scratched easily so watch out. but overall it is very good.
