Aiwa CDC-MP3 Car CD Player

Pros: IT PLAYS MP3s!
Cons: Hard to find, useless remote.

No really, I mean it!

Aiwa has finally achieved the holy grail of consumer MP3 players: cheap and useful. Before the release of the CDC-MP3 unit, you might be able to get a useful unit, but it wouldn't be cheap. At $300, it is a quite...

Pros: Great clean sound quality, powerful and functional
Cons: Non yet...

Finally you can now play MP3's in your car! Burn CD's from your computer and take a collection of your favorite albums or MP3 collection and your set for the whole week! That's about 10 full hours of listening pleasure on a single 650 MB disc. At $299,...

Pros: plays mp3's, great power output, nice remote
Cons: read review, but other than that its great

i just purchased ($255) and installed (myself) my aiwa cdc-mp3 last week and i love it. great display and power output (45x4) with h-bass selection for more bass. the wireless remote is also a nice touch and useful. my only complaints is that the display...

Pros: Play mp3's in your car, removable faceplate, high-power output (with line outputs also)
Cons: Limited remote range, cheap faceplate case, weird faceplate attachment, needs way to go to tracks faster

I've had this unit in my car (self-installed) for about 2 months and for the most part I have been happy with it. I made a test CD-R with 153 mp3 files (one directory) in various bitrates and sizes on green media.

Pros: Plays MP3s!!! Easy interface, neat coloring.
Cons: Skips! Skips! Skips! and no EQ features....

I love this thing. Don't get me wrong. The amps in it aren't bad, it has a somewhat useful remote, and it looks neat. However... (this is a big however) it skips! Not due to MP3s or bad CD burns. I mean just skips on regular audio CDs. Sometimes it skips...

Pros: Plays mp3s
Cons: Doesn't play anything if it can't be powered on

I'd like to review this product in a thorough, covers-all-the-bases type of review. I'd like to tell you about all of its features and tell you whether or not I would recommend buying one. I'd like to tell you all this and more about the Aiwa CDC-MP3,...

Pros: Good display, intuitive controls, it plays MP3s!!! 32 character filename readout. Auxiliary input. Makes any dashboard look cooler!
Cons: Audio CDs skip easy. Weak Bass.

I have had my CDC-MP3 player for around 2 months or so now and it has given me hours of enjoyment. I have no regrets about purchasing this car player. As with any device that has such an upside (playing MP3s) for such a cheap price there are going to be...

Pros: MP-3, Good FM reception
Cons: Remote IR range not real good, Not easy to review the station that is playing.

I bought the Aiwa CDC-MP3 from Crutchfield in October and I am very satisfied with it. I just completed a 1500 mile trip and it was great being able to drive for 5 hours listening to CD (MP-3) music without having to change the CD. I think this radio...

Pros: 175 songs on 1 CD!!!!!!!
Cons: Remote sucks

This is the best car audio product available right now. Being able to listen to over 175 songs (11+ hours) of music from one cd is where it is at. There are a few negatives with this unit but they are so minor I still give it 5 stars.

...

Pros: Plays MP3 with great quality, Bass, Great sounds...
Cons: Receiver Hard to attach, remote hard to install

Being a music enthusiast, I had dealth with many products currently on the market. From my perspective, I found the item outstanding. I received the item on December 1 and installed it instantly. My reviews are as follows.

The system came...

Pros: Great Price, Plays MP3s,
Cons: We need a revision 2.0 of this unit.

First the good:

1) It sounds great.
2) The price is right.
2) It's LOUD. I love loud music and I can't take more than 70%
while a "hot" (maxed out signal) mp3 is playing.
3) The colors and display are...

Pros: MP3's for the car!!! Reads ID3 tags; Plays CD-R AND CD-RW;
Cons: Useless wireless remote; No digital radio; Skips some (not enough to annoy)

Picture this...
1. Surf to http://www.billboard.com
2. Make your own weekly billboard CD-RW's from Napster.
3. Pop your CD-RW into your AIWA CDC-MP3 player
4. Repeat steps 1-4 weekly.

For long trips...
...

Pros: IT PLAYS MP3s on CD!!! Great sound, Great price!
Cons: Blinky volume light, skips in stiff cars over nasty bumps... ummm thats it for now...

I have waited for this player for 4 months now. I have tried the various options of getting MP3s into my car... wiring a PC to the amps with a keypad to control it with (no monitor), wire in a laptop to the amps, then I bought an...

Pros: 10 hours of music in one cdr
Cons: No important ones

I have bought an AIWA cdc-mp3 and read the first opinion in the list, I think the guy who worte it is an ass, while it may be true that his unit didnīt work, thatīs not the same way for every one. My unit works really great and I think that itīs well...

Pros: Cheap(compared to competition), PLAYS MP3'S
Cons: Poor construction, Annoying lights and more

I have an enormous collection of mp3's that are stored on my computer and cdr's. I've always been used to just converting the mp3 to wave and burning it to a cd to listen to in my car or home stereo. When the mp3 car player came out I jumped at the...
