The
Philips EXP2561 wins the award for perhaps the most handsome CD
player with MP3 playback on the market. It has a large LCD readout
in the center of its cover that offers all the information you would need
about the music you are listening to which acts at the touch screen for
the player's functions. You can program up to 50 MP3 tracks. It can
play up to 50 hours on AA batteries. The earphones are the earbud type. It
has many other features desired by MP3 fans such as digital bass boost. It
has a list price just under $40.00 and a bargain for such a player today.

The
Panasonic SL-SX480A CD player has MP3 playback capability and
carries the very affordable price of only $32.00 in U.S. dollars. It can
play back CD-R and CD-RW as well.
It is able to run
off two AA batteries for 75 hours. Like most CD players today, it has skip
protection. It also has various audio effects including surround sound and
the ever-popular bass boost. It comes with a one year warranty.

The
Insignia NS-P3113 is perhaps the least-expensive portable CD player
with MP3 playback, with a list price under $30.00. On top of that, it has
an FM tuner. You can program up to 60 MP3 tracks. All the
player's controls are clearly marked buttons on the cover of the
player. The earphones are the over the ear, loop-type. It even comes with
a wired remote for the basic functions so the player itself can remain in
a backpack, purse or a separate CD player case. All around, it is
quite a deal. The warranty period cannot be determined. |
The
Sony Walkman Portable CDMP3 player (Model No. DNE050PSBL) lists for
just over $40.00 and features skip-free playback which is great for
carrying around in your backpack or purse. It features Bass Boost. Many
people still prefer to play CDs, as well as MP3 recorded CDs, so this Sony
meets that need. Sony offers an excellent one year warranty on parts for
this unit. Comes with over the ear clip style earphones, and the AA
batteries last about 12 hours.
