4.0 out of 5 stars
For the money this is a very good buy,
By James Rowles (Barnstaple, DEVON United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rio SP50 MP3/CD Player (Electronics)
- the only other one I have seen at this price is a Goodmans model - but that doesn't play cdrw and has less features. Obviously the more you pay the better model you get. Pros: Cheap Cons: No resume MP3 - EPS: In summary for £10/£15 less you can get a personal cd player with similar antishock - the difference is this has the mp3 playback as well - which is essential - 10 albums on 1 cd is superb!... Main negative thing is the MP3 EPS - so read above then decide.

In some ways, it's really a little computer...,

This review is from: Rio SP50 MP3/CD Player (Electronics)
This is a good unit. The unit reads all the discs I have tried, even RW disks written at 10x speed. It reads the list fast and seems to be one of those products which just doesn't "mess around". There is no remote control, no fancy EQ settings and no PSU. But the MP3 playback is great - good quality and it handle all the bit rates I've thrown at it. The ID3 tag display is pretty good. You can even search for files - it's a little fiddly to do this, but it is usable. Some of the selection of tracks seems a bit odd, but it's not bad when you get used to it. I have recorded a load of children's stories using my WaveFinder DAB radio and so I can now play them through the car stereo. With a 10 hour battery life, it's an ideal way to fill those long journeys - if you record at 64kbps or even 56kbps you get more than 20 hours of speech on single disk. Why on earth should you bother with a solid state player which costs more than this and has only 1 tenth of the storage capacity? OK, so this unit is more bulky, but it is so much better...

Brilliant but battery monitor a bit dodgy,
This review is from: Rio SP50 MP3/CD Player (Electronics)
This MP3/CD Player is fantastic. My old Personal CD Player was good but couldn't play MP3s.As I have a CD Burner and a huge MP3 collection I thought this would be a superb combination. It accepts CDRW as well so you can actually rotate your entire collection over a number of days simply by overwriting the CD every night and when you get a new song just add it and it's done. Keep your IDv3 tags well maintained on your MP3s and it looks quite good on the screen of the player. The artist, title, album and bitrate are displayed by scrolling across the display. The volume control is fine, you can go through any range of volumes unlike some players where you seem to only have the choice of very quiet, quiet or very loud. There are more good points but that's all I can be bothered to type. The only bad points I can think of (being a little picky) are that the battery monitor may as well NOT EXIST. Put new batteries in and it goes down to battery half empty. Then it shoots up to full after about 10 minutes. Then flashes meaning it's about to die. Then fills up again. Completely useless The batteries that come with the player, as expected only lasted about an hour which was worse than most 'batteries included' deals. Also, the headphones that are supplied really hurt my ears (seemed too big and uncomfortable) so I am now using new headphones with in-line volume control. Other than the quibbles at the bottom, I love my new player and take it with me wherever I go (can even run around with it because of the excellent ESP Shock Protection) Buy it now!
