My Philips CD player came Refurbished at a decent price from Overstock.com and it has been very reliable. The battery life is very good, better then most portable CD players. The ease of use is without question. The Overall satisfaction is Excellent as my player has not let me down. Now some people have complained about using Mp3 on their players, I haven't tried this so I can't comment. However I will say for CD's (I am a little disappointed it doesn't have a radio) It is an excellent player with good features. I highly recommend this Player.

Claimed it had remote. Overstock volunteered a credit to me for no remote. One must select through all tracks to get back to where one want to be. There is no direct track select. We hooked it up to our Bose unit, and it works fine. Have not used the ear buds. Cannot get the A/C adaptor, must use batteries. Fine little unit.
