MPTrip MP3-CD Player

Pros: Sound quality and Price
Cons: Construction, Battery Life, included Headphones

After months of acquiring many MP3's from Napster, and converting most of my own CD collection to MP3, I decided it was time to get an MP3 player. There was no way in Heites I was gonna spend $250 for a 32MB flash MP3 player. I noticed the MP Trip and...

Pros: Plays MP3!, 12 hours of music in a CD! no tricks in that!
Cons: Bad interface, BS manual, Bad earphones, Bad finishing, Too much battery consuming

My first impression was a deception because the poor quality of the finished product; you can even squeeze it! There's some critical parts that you should have care when you touch them, like the volume knob, the battery cover and also the CD cover. They...

Pros: fantastic price for mp3 functionality
Cons: manufacturing chip defect

At first, I was turned off on buying the MPTrip because it wasn't produced by a major brand name. However, my brother purchased the item against my advice and I discovered that the player is really incredible for the price. The player plays both CD-Rs...

Pros: cheap, uses mp3 format, holds almost 200 songs per cd
Cons: low quality, hard to learn to use, funny button arrangement

This cost me $83. It was worth every penny. Well, it was a gift but still. I got home and after reading the manual which I believe was translated directly from German, I knew the same about how to use it as before. After 20 blank cds of experimentation,...

Pros: works well, light, cheap
Cons: lack of warranty, below average manual, low battery life

Due to the popularity of mp3's, it's inevitable that someone would invent a CD player that can play mp3's burnt onto a CDR or CDRW. After all, portable mp3 players have only a limited amount of storage, while CDRoms seems endless in comparison.
...

Pros: great sound, cheap, plays data CDs
Cons: cheap construction but seems sturdy enough

This player gives you extraordinary value for the money. I was previously using and RCA 64MB lyra player, which was great, but costs twice as much money and only gives an hour of playback on the 64MB card. Now with this CD MP3 player, you can put upwards...

Pros: extremely cheap, high quality portable music
Cons: battery life is a little short, has skipped a few times

i paid $99 for my genica (another name for mptrip) at computergeeks.com.

it does eat AA batteries fairly quickly - nimh will burn out in just five hours or so, and alkalines in maybe seven or eight. otherwise, this
thing is a dream.
...

Pros: Cheep, Affordable, CD Function rather than loading files.
Cons: Could Use Improvements On Design as far as functions.

I would recommend this as an alternative to swapping out your head unit in your car if it is in working condition, however mine is skipping horribly and after using my friends mp3 discman I am stuck with the decision, to buy a cheep stereo, and get a mp3...

Pros: Reads mp3s or regular cds
Cons: Skips constantly, bad manual, open button breaks.

I bought this a little too early I think, a couple of new ones have come out since which get better ratings. The open button popped off about 2 months after I got it, and the battery use is really bad. I got a kit to use it in my car, which is the main...

Pros: plays cd's and cd-roms fine, good customer support form easybuy2000.com
Cons: fragile product, cryptic interface, barely comprehensible users manual, short battery life (about 3.5 hours)

When I heard about this product, I jumped out of my seat, and here's why:
conventional (and I use the term loosely) portable mp3 players cost around 200 dollars and only store 64 minutes of music, at most. I never understood why anyone would buy...

Pros: Plays MP3s. Inexpensive.
Cons: Moderate sound quality. very cheap construction.

The MPTrip was the only cd player/mp3 player available for Christmas 2000, which is why my brother got one for me. I tip my hat to them for being the first to market with this innovative product. However, today there are many better players.
...

Pros: 150+ songs , cheap mp3 capablity
Cons: stated above

I bought this product through
www.compugeeks.com
say 3 to 4 months back when it just came in market
and to tell you i am quite satisfied with it as it is cheap compared to Nomad .
Nomad is another kind of mp3 player in which u...

Pros: economic, reliable, compact, i have one u don't
Cons: battery life, id3tag

I think this product is the gateway to the future ( mp3 ) a future accessible to all, for under 100$ ( price 98$ ). It has all of the options that other players have, even if it misses one or two, it compensates with the price. Durable and easy to carry...

Pros: There are now competing products available
Cons: It's still on the market

...'cause whoever designed and documented the thing was on drugs! Where to begin? The thing *won't* use CDRW's, only CD-R's -- and those have to be in "ISO 9660" format with all MP3's named in DOS 8.3 format. Oh yeah, and not too many files at the root...

Pros: Plays a lot of songs.
Cons: I have had some trouble with some options.

This is a great CD Player and everything. But, there is soooooooo many flaws to it. I hate how it waits three seconds between songs. Also, I can't get my headphones very loud on it at all. There is a lot of flaws in this piece of equipment that can...
