Pros: Light-weight, portable, holds a lot of music for the size! Cons: We may have paid a little too much! (The price has now come down.)
My younger son, Garrett, purchased a new Philips 8cm MP3-CD eXpanium Portable Player recently and is quite satisfied with it. This product is smaller than a regular CD MP3 Player and it holds songs in an MP3 format like a regular MP3 player, but...
Pros: Plays MP3s on a CD; Light; Cool Cons: No FF/Rewind within songs; No ID3 support
I've been thinking about MP3 players for quite some time. However, the ridiculous price for what you get ($200 for an hour of music?) always kept me off. I don't jog, so the "skip free" nature of RAM based MP3 players was never a big...
Pros: can play both audio CDs, and CD-RW of MP3s, 100 second shock protection, can play multisession MP3 discs Cons: cannot display track titles, resume function doesn't always work the way it is supposed to, can't save a program
I recently received the Philips Expanium Exp 103 as a birthday gift, after asking for a portable CD player for my daily walks. My husband thought to keep at least one trick up his sleeve and purchased a CD player that could handle both audio CDs and...
Pros: Extremely light, and portable. Comes with everything you need. Cons: Headphones suck, and can only use in car with cassette player. Serial # disappears!
On the road again, a song that pretty much sums up my life. I have amassed a countless number of MP3's and got tired of having to cart around CD after CD to play in my car stereo or on the run. Not to mention that I am also a blues review writer (for a...
Pros: Made by Philips, plays everything, battery life, accessories. Cons: No ID3 tag or filename display, fragile, controls on face.
I've been anticipating portable MP3-CD players for a long time, I already had created many CDRs full of MP3s that can be played on any computer on the network at home from a server. Mostly, the story has been players to be shipping next month, every...
Pros: Brand name, inexpensive, good sound Cons: poor construction quality, navigation.
Philips was the first to introduce the mp3 cd player, sometime around last Christmas. It seemed to be a natural direction for mp3 players. People were backing up their mp3s on cds and playing them via their cd-roms on the computer, freeing up hard...
Pros: The mid-size is good for jamming into your backpack when teacher walks in. Cons: Skips as if the "Magic ESP" is working against you!
So after returning the RCA MP3-CD player I originally bought, I was then shown a $150 credit and a very large store to use it in. I looked at all of the CD players, especially the MP3-enhanced ones, but would it be that useful? I decided to get that...
Pros: Plays any CD-R, CD-RW or regular CD's. Excellent sound with car kit included, Never skips and is durable. Cons: Can't search through MP3, long load time, hard to read display
With my hundreds of MP3 files sitting unused in my computer hard drive, I longed for a device that would let me play my recorded CD's in a portable device that I could hook up to my car stereo. My car stereo (like most I found out) would not play my...
Pros: Exceptional utility, battery life Cons: Low volume, slow loading time
This Christmas (2000) I found a Philips Expanium underneath the tree. I couldn't have asked for a better gift. I love my music, and I love taking large amounts of it with me in a convenient package. This product definitely delivers.
Pros: Play CD MP3's with 150 songs each on them. It doesn't skip when jogging. Comes with a lot of peripherals. Cons: You need to have a computer with a CD burner drive.
I was thinking about what category this review should go under and I wasn't sure if it would be portable CD or MP3 players. Let's get one thing straight. If you're going to buy a Discman, you should consider the Expanium. It plays CD's and has 100...
Pros: Great skip protection, plays CDRW's, 10+ hours of music 1 CD Cons: no ID3 tag support, long loads, no fast forward, cumbersome menu
The Phillips Expanium MP3/CD player is a great player if you are just looking for the function of an MP3/CD player. It lets you listen to 10+ hours of music written onto a single CDR and will even play the coveted CDRW's. The great thing about that is...
Pros: Large Capacity, no skipping, great portability, extra features and accessories. Cons: no file names or ID3 tags makes cumbersome programming.
Your choice about whether you should buy the Philips Expanium is a very simple one, once you can decide if you should buy an MP3-CD player or not. If you are buying an MP3-CD Player, then the Expanium is the only one worth your money.
Pros: reads CD-RWs. Reads MP3s Cons: large, slow between tracks
I bought the Expanium basically because I wanted more music with me on the go. I had an MP3 player, but it's memory is too minimal so I decided to try a name brand MP3 CD Player. The Philips is the only current one out there, and it's only for sale at...
Pros: Lots of music, lots of options, good sound Cons: A bit coarse in the workings - first-to-market technology style
This new breed of CD players - those that can play MP3 CD's too - is a huge leap forward in personal audio technology, but I recommend holding off for another few months before rushing out to buy one.
Pros: Plays wide range of bit rates and long file names. Cons: Not drop-proof and does not display long file names.
Of all the mp3 cd players available the Expanium is the nicest.
I have been wanting an mp3 player for well over a year. The types that only stored songs in memory didn't impress me because they were limited to what's in memory and thats it. I...
