Pros: Not a whole lot. ID3 tag support, plays CD-Rs and CD-RWs, decent headphones. Cons: Uses four AA batteries, no battery indicator, short battery life, easily skips. Simply put, terrible.
I finally gave up with my Aiwa.
(RIP Aiwa XP-V70, 4 July 2001 - we hardly knew thee)
Since the screw had come loose and been lost, the player was virtually impossible to use in any sort of moving situation (car, exercise, San...
Pros: Great Sound, large 5-line LCD Display, built-in NiCad charger Cons: extremely prone to skip, poor skip protection, short battery life
The RCA RP2410 was my second attempt at a combined CD/MP3 player, and while it fared considerably better in my tests, it was not quite strong enough to satisfy me.
The RP2410 features a HUGE 5-line LCD display, which is very useful for...
Pros: ID3 tag support, good sound, nice looking display with lots of information. Cons: Short battery life, and basically, it rarely works
I went to the store expecting to buy the Philips Expanium 201, but they were out of them. I saw the RCA player there, and noticed that it had ID3 tag support, which was an added plus. For $120, I thought I'd give it a try. I thought, "It's an RCA, it...
Pros: Big display. Plays CD-RWs, good sound, recharges batteries when on AC adapter. Cons: Skips waaay too often. Playback problems galore. Completely unportable. Freezes, requiring reboot (!).
I got this CD-MP3 player for Christmas 2001, and have been using it on and off since. I was initially very excited, almost gave away my Sony CD player thinking that RCA RP2410 was all I'd need.
Boy was I wrong! Ever had to reboot a CD player?...
Pros: Plays CDs and MP3s on CD. Cons: Controls are somewhat awkward. Prone to skips and other problems.
I purchased my RCA MP3/CD player about two years ago and for about a year it worked like a charm. Regular audio CDs and CDs with MP3 files played beautifully.
Unfortunately that was then, and this is now. Today, the unit frequently skips...
Pros: Nice display, good subfolder reading system. Cons: Skips unbearably, long loading times, takes 4 AA batteries, and has low battery life.
I was looking around for an mp3-CD player and this was the cheapest one on the market at the time so I thought I would try it. First I made an mp3-cd to listen to, when I played it it skipped almost immediately. I cleaned it with a cd player cleaner but...
Pros: Good sound quality, decent user interface Cons: bulky size, very fragile, bad anti-skip protection
I bought the RP2410 when I found it in an electronics store ad for about 140 dollars (about $100 off retail price). Judging by other's opinions on the product, I thought it would be perfect. If the cd player was 250 dollars on retail, I couldn't...
Pros: Low price, LCD display, good headphones Cons: Skips constantly with MP3 disks, occasionally with audio
I got this player for Christmas but basically decided on it myself from reading advertisements. For the price it seemed a great buy with lots of great features - Reads CD-R/RW, MP3 disks, and has great skip protection. Also, it has built in Bass Boost...
Pros: Plays MP3 files, and shows (some) song names. Cons: VERY unreliable, sucks batteries like candy, and SKIPS!
...you wouldn't even know it was a feature. Like the anti-skip.
Well, this is the first RCA product I've bought. And now, it's the LAST. This thing is the WORST CD player I've ever seen, and it never works right at all. RCA really made a goof...
I like the RCA Personal CD Players because it delivers excellent sound. This is a cool but hard to find product. It has digital sound in a size that can fit almost anywhere. I liked the full-range headphones, plus you get programmable CD memory so you...
Pros: Cheap, matrix display Cons: power hungry, bad player for normal and MP3 CDs
In comparison with the Exonion this RCA/Phillips MP3 CD player is really miserable. Not only must you pay special extra attention in burning perfect MP3 CDs but, even then, it sometimes just cannot cope with the decoding. Forget about giving your...
Pros: It looks nice, solid construction. Cons: it does not work with MP3 format.
Okay, it plays CDs, but what 45 dollar CD player does not? I skips madly on MP3s and there is no way to change skip protection. The manual states that this is a menu feature, but the engineers apparently forgot to add this to the design. :( It is a...
