Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy music with the freedom that comes from MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) CD playback, extended battery life, and high-powered anti-skip technology with Panasonic's SL-MP80. The company's exclusive No-Skip technology helps prevent interruptions from jostling during active use. No Skip's unique construction uses rubber brushings to absorb shock, while an anti-skip mechanism and an anti-skip digital servo further prevent read errors. A 48-second memory reserve provides added back up.

Now, battery changes will be fewer and farther between thanks to Panasonic's PowerLast high-efficiency power system, which combines an efficient motor with low-load circuitry for playback time of up to 48 hours on two AA batteries (during MP3/WMA playback). CD playback abilities include ID3 tag support (displays artist names and song titles with properly formatted sound files), 24-track random-access programming; repeat and resume (which picks up where the unit left off when last stopped); and skip/search and memory/recall. A hold switch prevents accidental starting, stopping, or track skipping during use or transport. The unit boasts a thin design with operation keys and LCD laid out logically on its top cover.

Incredible piece of electronics ! ! !.......2004-04-11

(...).

This CD player is amazing for one simple reason: you can fit up to 15-17 CDs worth of music on it. I am fairly experienced with computers--I used Windows Media Player to 'rip' songs from 11 CDs from my CD collection, then burned them to ONE CD. Windows Media Player was able to automatically download song/album information using CDDB--navigating from CD to CD and within each virtual CD is a breeze. Now--I *have* put my MP3s onto a CD and I will acknowledge that many, many mp3s will fit onto a single CD. However, I am amazed that so many MORE WMAs will fit onto the same CD. The manual recommends ripping songs at 96kbps and this is fine for me. I notice no sound degradation at all.

The sound is very good. (...)

This is a very cool piece of technology and I am very pleased with the sound--but I am so over-the-edge happy about the WMA format and functionality.

This is a must-get.

MISLEADING , but still good in other ways........2004-03-10

Let me first say I am no PC Wiz as it were, and This is my first CD player that I have brought that can play WMA AND MP3'S.
All that being said, let me tell you why I have given this only three stars.
I have a PC that has WINDOWS ME LET ME MAKE THAT CLEAR and try as I might, and I had verrrrrrrrry good help doing so. THIS CD PLAYER DOES NOT---- LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN, DOES NOT!!!! SHOW ID TAGS if you are using WINDOWS ME. XP is a different story and it should work fine for you. I brought this model because it can play just about anything you put in it, MP3, WMA, CDRW AND CDR.
BUT not being able to have the ID TAGS show is a real let down. I really don't need the display screen without it doing that so. It should have made things CLEAR and not just say it works with WINDOWS. RATHER IT SHOULD SAY , IT SHOWS ID TAGS WITH WINDOWS XP.

Somethings you just need to see and buy in a store to learn all the hidden facts, a lesson learned for me. I hope this helps you.

A decent MP3/CD player that fits most needs........2004-02-15

I bought this CD player looking for an MP3/CD player with long battery life and durability. I got pretty much what I wanted -- the player's survived a couple tough falls (though it'll roll a bit if it lands on its side) and the batteries have held out over periods when I forgot to stop the music. I do have a few doubts as to whether they last for 48 hours, but they're good for at least 20, which serves my purposes fine. The claim of resumable playback is also questionable -- I've had some trouble getting it to work consistently.

One major feature that's lacking is fast-forwarding on MP3 CD's -- you can only do this on audio CD's, as holding down the seek buttons just move you up and down the folders in data CD's. But my only other complaint would be the lack of a LCD backlight -- it's really difficult to figure out what I'm doing in the dark, though the button configuration is still intuitive. I'd also have prefered a scrolling (vs. the button-based) volume control, but that's not all that important either.

The playback of MP3's and WMA's is useful, though if you have no use for the latter just save yourself some money and get the MP70 (unless you like the concentric ring design of the MP80 to the MP70's blue gradient). There are no problems with sound, a hold button exists, skipping has never happened to me, having ID3 tags is nice, and read time is good.

Priced on the lower end of MP3 CD players, I'd say this one is a good buy, but I'd shop around a little more to make sure you get the features you want. There's no remote or FM tuner on this one, and some players boast even higher battery lives. But if all you need is a reliable MP3 CD player that'll play everything on it reasonably conveniently (as long as you don't need to see song info in the dark or be able to search within an MP3 track), this may be the one you're looking for.

Great CD player, good quality.......2004-02-09

I think this CD Player is very good. I got it for Christmas and the only problem I have had with it was I was stupis enough to leave in my backpack and it got scratched. But that was me : ). I use it all the time, and it is great on batteries. 48 hours on 2 AA.

A CD Player that Stanks of Crapiness.......2003-12-25

First off, the sound quality is lacking some punch. This is as loud as it gets? I know this is a pretty cheap cd player but come on now, really? Sure this cd player looks cool and all but this thing has no durability whatsoever. I drop this thing one time and the thing fell all apart. Now I'm out $60 for this piece of crap. The features are okay (that's it, its only okay)but you'd kind of expect more from a Panasonic product (their suppose to be the leader in electronic features). The sound presets are absolutely pointless, the live setting sounds like someone is playing the music from out of a pringles can, the bass muffles the sound of the music a little and the regular sound preset is really not any better than the previous two settings. The only redeeming factor of this product is that it doesn't eat up battery power quickly but I wouldn't advice buying this based on this positive. DO NOT BUY THIS, I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS!!! PANASONIC CD PLAYERS STANK OF CRAPINESS.
