Pine Technology SM200C Personal CD Player

Pros: Excellent MP3 cd Storage Capacity
Cons: Limited Shock Protection

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGINS
About a couple years ago, When the first mp3 players came out i was shocked at the price and the limited storage capacity. That's when i started my search for the perfect device for all my cd's and mp3's. That's...

Pros: MP3 CD format, support for id3 tags and VBR MP3s, relatively cheap
Cons: Somewhat bulky, shock protection could be better, newer models have surpassed it

The Pine D'Music SM200C MP3 CD player was one of the first models of its kind to come out. Now, a few years later, it is still a serviceable unit but it has been surpassed by other models such as SonicBlue's Rio Volt.

Using the player...

Pros: IT PLAY MP3!!!
Cons: ARRGG, TOO MANY OF IT.

SM-200C, Made in Korea. I got thing last month for about US$199 after a year waiting. By the time this product reach me, it was already obsolete, I don't see a point why people still buying this product. I return mine after a few testing.

...

Pros: Equalizer, Song detail are great features!!!
Cons: Hard to trust the name

This is a comparison between Expanium and D'music. I think you have to look at these two products if you are going to make an informed buying decision.

Before I bought my Philips Expanium CD/MP3 player, I looked into this little known...

Pros: It's cheap, the capacity is nice, and it has a built-in battery charger.
Cons: The anti-shock for regular audio CD's is atrocious.

The SM200C+ is a decent MP3 and the price is right, but there are some problems with it. First off, the player sometimes has trouble playing burned CD's. It comes with a disc of MP3's included, but these stink for the most part. If you burn your own CD...

Pros: Plays MP3 CDs
Cons: Short battery life, plays MP3 CDs badly

Skip the Pine D’Music SM200-C. There are problems abound with this unit and they are all fixed in the new generation of MP3CD players. I bought the SM200-C because at the time it was the only player on the market that supported ID3 Tags in MP3 files –...

Pros: Good Features Good Price Comes with AC Adapter
Cons: Short Battery Life Long Startup Time Poor Construction No Backlight

I bought a Phillips Expanium, but returned it so I could get this. It was a mistake. I liked the fact I could see the song names instead of just a number on the LCD of the Expanium. At first I was disapointed because I typically use the file name to...

Pros: Relatively inexpensive. Informative Display. Plays VBR Mp3's. Doesn't skip much.
Cons: Case Design flaw, keeps re-scanning disc. Hard on batteries (of course).

I was looking for an inexpensive MP3/CD player to play my collection of Mp3 Cd's. I have spent a lot of time ripping my complete music CD collection into Variable bit rate MP3's.
Radio Shack had a sale on these, along with a couple of bonus items,...

Pros: Good all around mp3 player. Good playback with CD-R & CD-RW.
Cons: A little sketchy on store bought CDs. Suck up the batteries quickly.

I got this mp3 player a few years back for christmas and thought it was the greatest thing..who wouldn't? You get all the music you can possibly want out of 10 CDs. The player itself (if you buy it in a store) comes with a lot of features (headphones, ac...

Pros: It works, price is good,
Cons: A bit bulky

I picked up one for my Christmas present last year. I was quite impressed with ability to use recorded MP3 Cd’s that I had burned myself, and also to play regular cd's too. It would have been nice if it had a better anti-shock capability. Both the MP3...

Pros: lcd
Cons: poor battery life

This mp3 player takes forever to load and then skips tracks.
I tried using brand new batteries (Duracell & Energizer) and the longest they lasted was 30 minutes. So I wrote the company and they told me to use the rechargable batteries that came with...
