hmm is this any good?

 

[phamtastik]

I bought my GF the same brand but hers has a remote and can play VCD's.
Seemed purty nice no probs so far. Plays CD-RW's fine w/ mp3's.

 

[OutlawWolf]

I would get one with id tag display.
Easier to navigate through songs.

 

[grlaw]

Which ones have ID2 Tag support? I have a Phillips eXpanium (no ID3 support).

CompuGeek usually specializes in refurbished items...New One ..is it worth it ??

Diamond/S3/Sonic blue just came out with a Rio mp3 cd player. cnet gave it 9 out of 10. it displays id3 tags and it also looks pretty cool. 170 bucks though.

Here's the RioVolt

 

[NICKel]

ok ok THIS IS ALMOST twice the price at 155.00 but there;s no accounting for looks and it supports ID tags:

looks like the soul player and the rio volt are mechanical one and the same. i think i like it.

 

[ptbrulz]

the soul is the same as rio volt.

 

[ptbrulz]

tis confirmed by easybuy2000... but the exterior plastic quality of the Rio Volt looks MUCH better. dunno if it's worth the $15 difference though.

 

[DiverDown]

if you're looking for a bang for the buck mp3 cd player...
CircuitCity.com has the "CM 415 by Classic" for $99.99. It has id3 and has cdrw support.

Here's a review from dmusic

 

[OutlawWolf]

Does anyone know of the most compacted mp3 player on the market???

 

[Namuna]

The RioVolt is SAHHHH-WEEET!

Now I'll just wait for this bad boy to hit the sub $125 mark and I'll be on that like white on rice baby.

Does anyone know if there's a portable mp3 cd player coming out that includes FM radio built-in to it? I can't believe no one has included that yet...

 

[NICKel]

Here is a list of all the easybuy MP3 playersThe list

That 8cm disc player is intersting.... Does anyone else know what an 8cm disk is????

 

[NICKel]

Does anyone know of any good deals below 99.99 for the CM 415 by Classic? Seems like the best buy...

 

[ingenue007]

i bought this when it was 90. i didn't like it at all. wouldn't play my mode 2 cds (IIRC it needs mode 1 or something).

i used it 3 times. sold it on egay for an even return.

 

[kaiotes]

i agre w/ u gecko
i have always longed for one w/ mp3cd, and FM
i got the genica mp3cd 1 yr ago, no probs yet
do want the 109 or whatever at easybuy

 

[ratkil]

I bought the genica several months ago, had problems sent it back, they replaced it with the Tavarua had problems with that, sent it back they replaced it again and I am having the same problems, so I think it is just inherent with these. I get sporadic pauses while playing cds in it, both retail audio cds and mp3 cds. It does not like to be vertical and it really does not like to be in a coat pocket or somewhere that moves a lot. I don't mind the lack of tags, who has time to page through 140+ songs anyway, I just record a cdr with what want to hear and hit random play.

 

[Theeoneatwork]

I have a Classic and it works pretty good, except for these annoying 1 sec pauses every now and again. Got it for $100 at Circuit City, the only place I've seen them BTW. I like it, it's a decent player, but I may upgrade to the riovolt for WMA support. But I think the classic is the best buy for your money@$100.

Classic needs to be used with MP3's that are not put on cd's by packets(ie Adaptec software), you need to use something like musicmatch to record mp3's to be able to play on it. It's the same as Phillips.

 

[FunkyD]

I need something I can strap to my arm and jog/workout with. This one looks too big, but I haven't seen any decent deals on a RIO in a long time. Can anyone help, or must we start an !~~~~ I wanna ~~~~! thread?

NICKel: 8cm cds are the little cds you sometimes see given away as promotions. They hold 180megs or 21min of cdaudio. That 8mm mp3 cd player is a great idea. The unit should be about the size of an portable MD player, but hold at least 2x the music 74min MDs hold. Hmm...I'm torn between the 8mm player (for coolness and portability) and the SoulPlayer (for maximum music per disc and cool features, remote, big LCD, etc).
