I'm surprised by the issues I have heard here about this unit. Of all the CD players I have owned, this little guy has been going strong for years (7-8?) and the original rechargeable batteries still function fine. The SM200C might not be the snazziest PCDP but it is a solid performer. Very good sound quality, good build for plastic and good user interface. The only thing I have found I cannot do with this unit is hike. Even though the anti-shock feature works fairly well, decent bumps while hiking can jar it into pausing for a few seconds. Plays all of my MP3 and burned audio CDs with no problems. I have a couple of friends who admired mine and got their own and love them. This is a solid PCDP that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for an inexpensive CD/MP3 portable solution.

consumes a lot of battery, lasts for a maximum of 2 hours when you insert fully charged batteries in it. does not detect many MP3 cds, almost half of my MP3 CDs could not be played in this. bulky, cannot use as an MP3 walkman but good if you use standard MP3 CDs and always keep it connected to the AC outlet.

This thing has a mind of its own! one day it will work great and I would be very pleased with it but then the next day it will skip and just randomly turn off when the batteries are full. Also this thing uses batteries so fast! I think I'm either going to get a RioVolt or a TDK Mojo instead and chuck this piece.

Great machine. Very comprable to Sony RioVolt. I think it is even better. Pine was the orriginaotor of Mp3 cd players. Only down side is huge battery waste. Get one tody!
