...The player is great!!!! when you don't expect too much!!!!!!Reads CDR containing about 300 mp3 files approx.30 sec, CDRW - little longer. Sound quality is GOOD! but don't count on EQ !!! Display rather small but shows everything what I need to know what's going on, no search by song name, album or artist but how could you expect anything like this for 29.99?????!!! besidesyou can try to organize your mp3 files on CDR a little bit putting them into folders which are called by this player as "albums". not bulky at all, rather light and slim I would say, runs very nicely and DOES NOT skipp AT ALL in mp3 mode!!!I am going to send this player as a gift for my friend living in Europe since all mp3/cd players are far more expensive there. If you don't need ID tag support and "good sound" is good anough for you - just GO for it! For such price you can't go wrong!!!!!!!!
