Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The metallic silver RCA RP2458 portable CD player combines eye-catching slim styling and advanced features like support for MP3 and Windows Media Audio formats. Up to 13 minutes of esp-Xtreme skip protection (with WMA files recorded at 64 kbps; three minutes for standard CD audio; and six minutes for MP3 at 128 kbps) makes this CD player virtually skip-free in most conditions and a great choice for joggers and runners.

The CD player also features SmartTrax, a navigation technology for quickly accessing specific songs or playlists among the hundreds of tracks on an MP3-encoded CD-R/CD-RW. Using a library of computer-generated identification tags to identify digital audio files by title, artist, album, year, genre, and track number, the SmartTrax file management system can "read" song data from recordable CDs, letting you view song data and create playlists at the touch of a button. SmartTrax-supported products can read the song data even before the song is played, an exclusive feature of the new system. A four-line dot-matrix display shows SmartTrax data and allows track/folder programmability with a random playback option.

Other playback features include Digital Bass Boost Surround for extra low-end slam and added musical depth and a hold switch to prevent unintended interruptions in playback and save batteries by negating playback when the player is stopped. Supplied with the player are X-Phone stereo headphones, which sit comfortably behind your head without slipping forward. The unit operates for approximately 15 hours on three AAA batteries (not included).

Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Nice Look, Horrible Player........2004-10-23

I was looking for a new mp3/cd player because my other one broke, So I bought this one because it was cheap and looked nice.

Positives:

- Nice Look
- Can play mp3/cds
- Slim
- ** Has backlit screen, so you can see in the dark

Now for the many negatives

Negatives:

- THERE IS NO FREAKIN HOLD BUTTON, this means, if you have this in your backpack or something, it will turn on and waste batteries.

- THE LOADING takes atleast 40 seconds on MP3 CDS. Sometimes, the songs won't work also so you have to wait like 5 minutes before any of the songs can play.

- IT FREEZES. This mother freezes so many times. If are playing a song and exit out of the menu, it freezes. Then you have to load the cd again ( which takes another 45 seconds ).

- The CD OPEN BUTTON is really EASY TO mistakingly hit and open the cd player. It's very big. Plus if you open the cd player,
it LOADS UP AGAIN!

- One of the worst things besides the NO HOLD BUTTON is the battery life span. It uses 3 TRIPLE A batteries. Not only does the triple A battery not last long but they are more expensive. I put NEW batteries in this CD PLAYER on MONDAY. I listened to it say 30 minutes everyday on the bus. On friday, the batteries were dead. That's like 2 1/2 hours of battery life.

Conclusion:

I'm being nice giving it 2 stars. This is the worst CD player i've ever had. Even my first CD player I ever bought is better than this junk. The batteries price will add up making this cheap player's price equal to a good one. So save your money and buy a good MP3 CD Player

5 out of 5 stars Very Very Very Good for the money.......2004-04-10

I've had this cd player for about 1 year now, and I love it, and belive me i'm not one for buying cheap products, I always look for the best, and this had everything I wanted and more, at an unbelivable price. So if your trying to decide between this player and another one, just make up your mind and pick this one, because like I said i've had it for 1 year now and i've had absolutley no problems with it at all, it has great sound and looks, and lots of features, so if you can't make up your mind, let me make it up for you.........BUY IT!!

4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good.......2004-02-09

My CD player broke, and i wanted to get a new one, so i chose this. The ESP-Extreme anti skip works very well, so i can even run with it. Battery runs out FAST when anti skip is on though. The Cd player does scratch easily though

1 out of 5 stars too any problems!.......2004-02-06

So many problems with this thing...

I bought this specifically to play background music in clubs between band sets. Great idea uh, 150+ songs, put it on shuffle play and it can go for days!!! WRONG!

Lets count the problems: Occasional looooong delays between songs, a few songs just cut off and jump to the next (after a LONG pause), It usually shuts down by itself within 30-45 minutes, meaning I have to start it up again. It can take 30-60 seconds to boot up and start playing the first song, and then you have to go into preferences each time and turn shuffle play on. All of these things happen while using the power adapter. Problems grow when trying to run it on batteries.

Sounds like a great idea, and using the power adapter, I would expect to have solid, effortless solution to running music for an entire evening. NO WAY! This thing usually can't play for more than 15-20 minutes before having a problem.

If it were FREE it wouldn't be worth the effort

5 out of 5 stars Great Sound.......2003-12-07

Great sound and battery life! Just get some rechargeable batteries and you are off to the races. I put a lot more thought into this $60 investment than I should have but ended up happy. It is a very good product...
