I bought this unit a year or so ago and it's given me no serious problems. The switch to open the player is a little flimsy -- a few times I've brushed against it while sitting in the car and it popped open, which is annoying, but I've also dropped the player a few times and it hasn't popped open, which is more important and something I can't say as much for my Sony. The display doesn't show ID3 tags but unless you have no idea what is on the CD you've made yourself, this shouldn't be too big of a problem.

As most previous reviewers noted, the Hold/Resume button doesn't allow you to do both at once and furthermore the Resume option doesn't actually work. I find that with a little file/folder organization, it's easy to find the song I left off at without needing the Resume button, and as for the options being mutually exclusive, if I want to use the Hold option, it's usually because I'm going to be travelling for a long enough time that resuming exactly where I left off is not vastly important. But that's just my take.

If you're considering a flash or hard drive MP3 player, get an MP3/CD player instead. High capacity flash players are expensive whereas CD-Rs easily carry 700MB, and an erasable CD-RW acts pretty much like a mini hard drive. I have little faith in hard drives, as the one in my laptop failed after a year. But what REALLY did it for me is that you can't play a conventional CD on a flash or hard drive MP3 player. What if you're on a short trip and buy a CD? In order to listen you'd either have to a laptop or a CD player in addition to the MP3 player. With an MP3/CD player, this isn't an issue -- it's so convenient it's beautiful.

So save yourself the trouble and get an MP3/CD player! It's convenient and this one is particularly good!

If u need to resume music from point u left during last listening,this product is not for u.
Second lack of belt clip.
If mfr add these two things..nothing can match it at this price and quality.

Solid perfomance!!!.......2003-03-27

If you are tired of skipping cd's or not reading cds/cdrs, this is for you! I've even dropped it without skipping -- first cd player I've seen that is this solid... thus the five stars. Works with AC adapter or 2 AA batteries -- and they last...

My only negative is that MP3 filenames are not displayed BUT you can use directories to organize your files... random play feature too. Excellent value for the money.

O.K., The sounds quality is great and I'm impressed with the startup time of the mp3 files but the lack of ID3 tags is very annoying. Also, a resume would be VERY useful to me, but i guess with a little memorization it wont be a problem.

OK+, Great player but lack something.......2002-11-10

Pro:
Great earbuds.
Great two step bass sounds.
Great sound
Easy to control an learn.
Size is ok.
Batteries life can last 10+ hours by using two 1600mah rechargeable batteries.
Anti-shock improved (I hate EXP201, what a junk of the anti-skip system, cannot walk fluently) EXP301 is better, you can carry it do little jogging, no problem on walking.
Con:
The price is high, compares to EXP201. With this price I can add $$ get a Sony D-cj01 or TDK mojo or others have IDs tags.
As above no ID tags and back-light.
Annoying resume and hold button.

Now I own a HD player archos 10 jukebox, which is good. but too expensive. Thinking about returning.
