Looking for portable CD player with these features...

[Slickone]

Plays MP3 CD's *and* shows ID3 tags.
AM/FM radio.

Must have all these. I wanted a Panasonic, but they don't make one with all these features.
Is there one? Not worth it if it's some no name brand that'll quit in a month.

Added bonus for remote control (wired or wireless), can recharge batteries while in player, backlit LCD.

I've never seen a portable CD player w/ all those features Slickone

Thanks, biostud. I've been avoiding buying Sony for awhile now, but looks like I have no choice. And I'd buy Sony before some noname junk. That looks like a pretty nice player. Now for a hot deal.

Doesn't look that great. Go with iRiver or something.

Actually I don't need AM radio, just FM.
Are the iriver CD players reliable? Is there a certain model you'd recommend? And a place to buy it?

hm, it looks like iriver has discontinued their mp3 cdplayers in the americas. doh. they're gone from their page and amazon doesn't carry them anymore either. i have a slimx imp-350, i got that off ebay for ~50 about a year ago.

why not a flash player? any mp3 cd player worth getting either is as costly or approaches that of a flash player

Iriver....nuff said. Digital FM radio...MP3 and ID3 tag support...slim...awesome player.

 

[Slickone]

I'm not asking for an MP3 player. I want a CD player to play my 700+ CD's.

Is this mostly for the car?

 

[Slickone]

Probably, mainly. Car, hotel room, beach, pool. Maybe plane, bus.

sorry man, I was looking for DVD players when I asked that - thought it might fit your needs better, but .. it turns out they sucked batteries and no one really developed the concept after '02 I guess.
Anyway, I personally have a sony cd/mp that I'm happy with (no radio though).
You seem put off by sony and mention panasonic ..
this one has the features you mention, and is panasonic. I :heart: panasonic too, but I'm sorry - it's butt ugly.

Edit: okay, I know sony supports ID3, but the panasonic site is pretty unnavigable. I'd be surprised if it didn't, but until I find otherwise, I'd say I didn't meet your criteria.

Hm. This one specifically supports ID and has remote, but no radio.

Yeah, I like the Panasonic players and recommended to them the past couple years that they need a model with those features. I thought they might finally put one out this year, but nope.
