Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
D-Link's DMP-CD100 CD and Recorded MP3 Player reads audio CDs and CD-Rs with MP3 formatted music files, playing over 10 hours of music on a single disc.
Searching through all those files can be a chore, so D-Link includes intro scan and a quick access button for three-digit track searches. This combination CD/MP3 player also features a 10-second antiskip buffer that grants some protection against motion-related skips, while its hold switch prevents accidental shutoff or setup change. The LCD displays playback status, program function, and battery life. Playback modes include repeat track or disc, random play, and a 22-track programmable memory.
Compatible with the MP3 standard, the DMP-CD100 supports bit-rates from 32 Kbps to 320 Kbps. Its design includes a 1-bit digital-to-analog audio converter with an integrated digital filter, producing eight times oversampling playback for high-quality audio output.
The DMP-CD100 features two stereo outputs, allowing you to connect it to an external audio component. D-link also includes earphones and an AC adapter. This unit runs on two AA alkaline or rechargeable ni-cad batteries. It's backed by a one-year parts-and-labor warranty.

Customer Reviews:
Worst CD-MP3 player i've seen!!.......2003-06-27
Blah!.......2003-06-19
Run, Run like the wind from DLink.......2003-05-16
Attempts to resolve this matter have been frustrating. Phone calls are not returned, tech support seems less than concerned with customer concerns. Proceed at your own risk. Maybe you should look at a nice Panasonic or Sony..
great player for about 9 months...........2002-10-15
Works well for the money.......2001-11-11
Pros:
1. The buttons are firm, the T-digit feature is awesome as you will want to skip to a particular song # if you ran out of battery or took the CD out.
2. The body is pretty strong - I dropped it once and although the case opened and spat the CD out, it was unharmed.
3. It comes with an adaptor to power it all the time.
4. It also has 2 output jacks- headphone and line-out.
4. The bass boost worked well.
5. Overall audio quality is good and except for skips (almost every MP3 CD will skip a little) the listening experience is good and long.
Cons:
1. The case looks cheap and plasticky.
2. I could never get any of my rechargable AAs to recharge in the player and I have a variety of Alkaline, Ni-Cad and metal hydride batteries. The manual suggests specific brand names for batteries (I think maybe Sony/Panasonic...not sure). I don't know if its just mentioning those or REALLY will work only with those batteries.
3. Even my best rechargables only lasted 2-3 hrs a pair.
4. The headphones are poor- audio quality-wise and ergonomics-wise. Also, I found that the headphone jack might be off in diameter by just a hair than the standard size - it worked fine with D-link's own headphones but was a little too snug with a 3rd party headphone, and after couple of uses, the headphones deformed the metal clip inside the jack so it no longer formed snug connection with any headphone. I had to jig it around to get it 'just so' so as to get full stereo. Luckily I originally intended the MP3 player as a feed into my amp and speaker system so I could still use it with its Line-Out. Just something to be careful about.
5. A one-two second shake breaks through its anti-skip.
6. When you first use it, be aware that a 'hold' button might be on, preventing play of CD. It alarmed me at first; then I read the manual and figured it out. Its probably the most useless, confusing and non-intuitive function this devise has. Hold ON means what? that CD/device will not play? pause? or that the device will now hold the CD? Similarly Hold OFF was as confusing - that the device will not hold the CD and pop it out? or its no longer paused?? I think D-link and other vendors need to be careful when introducing quirky new features in consumer devices. I am sure D-link didn't do much usability testing of this feature.
7. Finally, every MP3 CD I played in the device skipped at least a little. Sometimes it was the same songs from the same place, others it was at random. But once I put it down, the skips reduced quite a bit.
(...)As for skips, only worry about it if there is a player on the market that WILL NOT skip when stationary, (about as reliable as CD-only CD players). If all players skip, D-link is one of your best bets due to its price.
