TDK MOJO Portable CD-MP3 Digital Jukebox with 8 Minute Anti-Shock and Artist, Title, Genre, and Album Directory

Product Description
From Digital Living Today
The advantage of MP3-CD players like the TDK MOJO, is that in addition to being able to play regular CDs you can also play back MP3 CDs, which can hold up to 10 hours of music. Although technically, the audio quality of the MP3 is slightly diminished by the compression, the naked ear is hard-pressed to tellthe difference. Another benefit of MP3 encoding is that you can organize each track with information about musical style, artist, album, and song title. With up to 150 tracks on an MP3-CD, organization becomes crucial.

Unfortunately, most MP3-CD players require the unit to scan the entire disc when you put it in to organize the information. This takes unwanted startup time. TDK's MOJO is an MP3 CD Player that comes with its own software to quickly categorize the tracks it reads from an MP3-CD and retitle them in a way that allows you to organize your tracks more quickly and in enhanced ways. Combine this with the MOJO's smart design, EQ features and, best of all, a whopping 8 minute anit-skip feature--enough to avoid even the most violent, hiccup-causing bumps, and you have a top contender for your next portable CD player.

From the Manufacturer
TDK's first CD digital jukebox is a portable, CD-based MP3 player offering full artist, song title, album, and musical genre navigation as well as on-the-go playlist creation. Dubbed MOJO for the magic it adds to the portable music experience, the device combines the economy and unlimited storage capacity of CD-based MP3 players with the navigational flexibility of expensive solid-state and hard-disk-based devices.

The key to MOJO's enhanced functionality is TDK's exclusive Navitrack navigation technology (patent pending), which enables MOJO to quickly read and sort the music ID information contained in each MP3 file (known as ID3 tags). In just a few seconds, Navitrack scans every music file on an MP3-encoded CD and displays this information on MOJO's bright, backlit four-line LCD screen. Find the music you want to hear by artist, album, song title, and musical genre. Equally exciting, MOJO is the first portable CD-MP3 player to allow users to create custom playlists. And MOJO remembers playlists created for up to five MP3-CD discs.

Unlike power-hogging hard-disk-based MP3 devices, MOJO plays for up to 10 hours on two high-capacity AA batteries. MOJO's superior play-time capability is the result of advanced power management circuitry that fills the unit's antishock memory buffer with up to eight minutes of MP3 music, then pauses the CD drive motor to conserve energy.

MOJO gains its digital jukebox functionality with a unique software breakthrough that avoids the file-navigation limitations of conventional CD-MP3 players. Conventional CD-MP3 players cannot offer file navigation because of the nature of the ID3 tag information, which is typically appended to the end of an MP3 file. To read this information, a disc-based player must scan through every file, a time-consuming operation on a disc that can contain in excess of 150 songs.

MOJO's Navitrack system eliminates this limitation with a PC-based software utility that copies the ID3 information into the MP3 file-name area. With the data now accessible at the head of each file, MOJO can scan, sort, display, and grant access to artist, title, and genre information in just seconds.

Using the supplied Navitrack software is fast and easy. Tracks ripped with Internet-enabled software packages like MusicMatch Jukebox are converted automatically in a process that takes just seconds. And Navitrack gives users the opportunity to edit ID3 tag information, an important feature for music ripped without your computer's having had a chance to access the CDDB online music database (or when you're ripping discs not included in this database).

TDK includes MusicMatch Jukebox 6.0 software with the MOJO player. MusicMatch handles ripping, MP3 conversion, track labeling (with Internet access), PC music management, and CD burning in an easy-to-use integrated package. With TDK Navitrack software and MusicMatch Jukebox, MOJO is a complete portable music platform for everyone who owns a Windows-based CD burner.

MOJO is truly the ultimate portable music machine. Its preset equalizer settings (rock, jazz, classical, etc.), plus bass boost, let listeners tailor sound quality to their personal preferences. In addition, MOJO includes a line-out connection for playback through an external audio system.

MOJO comes with bass-enhanced high-fidelity headphones, an AC power adapter, and two high-capacity AA alkaline batteries.

Way cool for two weeks.......2003-12-28

I purchased this mp3-cd player for a road trip so was not to concerned about size (about the same as all cd players). It worked flawlessly for the trip. well about two weeks later it started to turn itself on and drain the batteries. I never dropped it split anything on it in fact it never left my car. The only way to keep it from starting up is to turn the hold button on. very cheep the eject does not even push the lid up you have to pull it open while pushing the eject button to the side try doing that and drive at the same time. buy an IPod

TIME BOMB!!!.......2003-07-12

I bought the mojo a little over a year ago and we've had the best of times together -- that is, until recently.
To begin with my mojo absolutely refused to play either MP3 cds or normal audio cds, making extremely annoying whirring sounds
In other words, after a year (more or less) of use -- my mojo cutout and refuses to function (after being treated with the utmost respect). It's a complete waste of money -- DONT PURCHASE IT!!!!

Often fails to play audio CD's.......2003-06-23

While the Mojo performs well with MP3 discs, it will certainly disapoint you when you play a regular audio CD. No matter it is a factory CD or your own recorded one, if it is not new it will fail playing too often, even my little daughter cheap CD player has a better performance. Yes, I tried cleaning the lens!

...If you look at the specs, Sony gives 40 hours of play on a pair of AA. TDK claims 10 hours with "high quality batteries" or some such thing. In reality, I usually got about 2 cds out of a pair of batteries, 3 if they were good. Thats so unnaccpetable as to be ridiculous...I don't intend to ever buy anything else from them except blank cds and cassettes.

This Cd/mp3-Player Is Sketchy.......2003-03-15

Look, I'm not the kind of person to complain. However, when the job isn't getting done, I get angry. For just over one year, this Cd-player was the love of my life. Just after the warrentee(sp?) expired, the cd-player died. It refuses to play any cd, audio or mp3. It will hardly boot. It's a major problem. I never dropped it.
