Pros: Can't think of any.
Cons: Poor sound quality and it doesn't play MP3 CDs burned on Win XP!
The Bottom Line: With Windows XP soon to be the predominant OS in most homes, it is absolutely unforgiveable that TDK Mojo does not play MP3s burned on Win XP.

| jerrytc64's Full Review: TDK MOJO Personal CD Player |
Extremely disappointed with the player sound quality, headphones, customer support and worst of all, it doesn't play MP3 CDs burned on Windows XP.
You'll know if you have the MP3 problem when Mojo skips every 25 seconds of a track. Hence, 25 seconds into a song, you'll hear an audible click. Every 25 seconds later, you'll hear the same click. It gets very annoying and I don't use the player anymore.
I have other better quality and cheaper CD players around the house. I bought Mojo because it was supposed to play MP3 CDs.
With regards to the MP3 issue, if you check their web site, they admit as much. It suggest that you use a 3rd party software to burn the CDs and not use XP's Windows Media Player to burn it. I used Easy CD Creator's software (which is one of the most popular burning apps) to create my MP3 CDs and it still doesn't work. I also had an older MP3 CD burned on Windows NT which also does not play on Mojo.
Hence, all I have now is an poor sound quality and overpriced CD player. TDK customer support and website did not offer any other help on the MP3 issue.
I e-mailed TDK twice about the problems but each time, I got a typical set answer which I already knew. It is as if customer support doesn't read the e-mails. I suppose a PC reads your e-mails and scans it for certain phrases like "XP", admits they know about the problem and blames it on Microsoft. Until Microsoft fixes it, it's your problem.
I bought this Mojo on the Internet for $90 and was supposed to receive a $20 rebate which never arrived. It highlights one of the problems of buying online; other than reviews online (which I read and most must have been written by TDK employees), you'll be left with taking a chance on the product if you don't try it at a store first.
