Amazon.com Product Description
Joggers, hikers, and other on-the-go music fans will groove to this RCA personal CD player, which is both compact and stylish. Slip it into a large jacket pocket or purse, where it takes up a minimum of space, or purchase a carrying case and attach it to your workout clothes for easy transport. Equipped with RCA's 180-second espXtreme anti-skip protection, the device lets you enjoy shock-resistant, uninterrupted music playback even in turbulent conditions. But that's just a start. More impressively, the RP2472 offers an array of functions above and beyond typical portable CD players, including an inline remote control that lets you skip or search tracks with your thumb while running or cycling, and a digital FM tuner for listening to the radio should CDs get old. The radio even offers 20 station presets, so you can quickly find your favorite program or scan through all your standby channels.

Playback functions include track programming for creating your own custom soundtrack, CD-R and CD-RW compatibility, repeat play, resume (starts playing the CD from where it left off), and song skip/search. The device's audio performance is enhanced by the bass boost system, which ensures a deep, rich overall sound that belies the CD player's compact size. Add in the pair of clip-on stereo headphones, which fit neatly on the ear and stay on while you exercise, and you're ready to rock.

Style-conscious users, meanwhile, will delight in the sleek red color, which extends from the chassis to the remote and headphones. The RP2472 runs for up to 24 hours on two AA batteries, making it a great fit for long road trips and marathon study sessions. And at 5.12 by 1.18 by 5.51 inches, it always takes up a minimum of space wherever you use it. It's also backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great player.......2005-02-01

I'm very suprised by the amount of negative reviews of this CD player. It's wonderful! It's just awesome because you can listen to a CD and then the radio at the same time. The red color has little mini sparkles and they look so cool. The headphones aren't to good, and I would recommend a different pair. The skip-protection actually works, unlike most CD players that have this option. The presets on the radio are convinent and easy to set and use. I would recommend anyone to buy this CD player. It's just awesome.

4 out of 5 stars RP2472 Review #2.......2005-01-23

Well, I've owned this for 8 months, and it's still in great shape. I've delete my old review, to write another review on this good CD player.

Radio - 5/5 Stars

Good reception on most stations, considering I live 15 miles away from metro Tucson (Marana to be exact), so most players would usually black out signally this far, but I can listen to most stations within this distance. The radio sound quality is poor, as on any FM...anything. Though, I don't blame RCA. It's ClearChannel that needs to have their equalizer adjusted. The presets are easy to preset. I put every station in order on the presets from the way their presented from (87.5 - 107.9). Mainly because of the distance of where I live make it hard to get a signal on some stations, making the seek feature skip some stations.

Sound/Bass Boost - 4/5 Stars

The bass and treble are NO problem whatsoever. The bass boost is truly effective. The gripe is that the volume, even on the highest setting, is kind of quiet. Anyway, great sound. Just a low peak volume.

CD Player - 5/5 Stars

The player has skipped barely, if not at all. All my CDs play fine, even the ones most scratched of all play well. And once again, quiet but great sound.

Headphones - 1/5 Stars

Just throw them away when you open it.

Construction - 5/5 Stars

Not even a scratch or malfunction ever since I bought it. Dropped over 5 times and not even a scratch. Even the Sony Walkman has that kind of construction. Actually, I banged this CD player with a hammer and ithad not even a scratch. I award RCA with this kind of durability.

Portability - 4/5 Stars

The CD player should fit in most small cases, though even if it's twice as blukier than other CD players (it that where it gets it's durability from?). Good for picky-but-not-to-picky travelers.

Cost - 0/0

I don't know the cost of it because I got it for a birthday present. If I was RCA, I'd price it $40-$50.

Battery Life - 5/5

It has an amazing battery life of 36 hours.

Overall - 4/5

Of all the CD players I've owned (2 Walkmans, 2 junky Memorexes, and 6 other CD players I've tried but not owned), this is the best of the bunch. The headphones suck, but just spend $10-$20 on another pair (volume control type recommended) and you'll be good to go.

1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS CD PLAYER!!!.......2004-11-14

When i first bought this player, i thought it was pretty good. I already knew it wasn't the best i'd had, but all my cd players break eventually...within a couple years or so. This one however, was by far the quickest one to break. The volume buttons were always a bit funky, they eventually started sticking, and the volume only went up to 15 anyway. Now 15 doesn't sound bad, but on here, 15 can barely be heard. The radio volume was much louder for some reason, I wish the cd volume was so that i could have enjoyed this for the time it worked. Another thing is that the cds skipped A LOT! I've never seen a cd player that skipped worse than this. My cds are all in good condition and there were at least 10 skips in every song. I do have a couple cds that are old and scratched a bit, and they wouldn't play at all in this player!!! Eventually one day, about 3 months after i bought the player, the cd player quit working. I still have the player today, and the radio does still work, but if you put in a cd it doesn't read it at all. I know that all cd players have problems, and the one i bought to replace this one this winter is already starting to malfunction as well, but please do yourself a favor and do not buy this cd player.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty good.......2004-11-14

My dad and I share this player alot and when i have used it which is a heck of a alot cd's i have found that this player is above average.
First off overall it is pretty good. the only thing that keeps me from giving it a full five stars is because, the screen is small and it is not backlit. overall it is a very good player and i think that you will be happy with your purchase.

1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY.......2004-11-14

I got this for an x-mas presentt I was really excited but when I went to turn it on it didnt work. Sometimes it takes up to 10 minutes for it to start playing a CD. Also once it starts playing then it will often skip and sometimes stop playing compleatly. However the radio works great but for 60 bucks you can get a lot better radio then this.
