I was looking for the better cost/benefit and I can assure that you can buy this one. It works with 2 AAA batteries, comes with a nice remote control and also it comes with an adapter to use two extras AA batteries outside the player. The power supply is a battery eliminator and battery charger when you use two AAA rechargable batteries (recharges only the batteries that come inside the device). It doesn't have ID3 reader (doesn't show music names), I dont care, but works nice with as many directories you might have on your CD (accepts read only cds and r/w cds). The battery life is good: 4-5 hours with good AAA cells in MP3 mode, with the AA cells I did not measured yet, but you can use both same time to increase play time.
The skip mechanism is very good but it will consune your batteries faster. When playing MP3 the skip protection is not used, it is used only for regular music CDs. In fact when in MP3 mode I never heard a skip, trust me.

I've just receive my Samsung CD/MP3 player. I ordered the MDC MP65 last week and I was pleased to receive the new MP67 for the same price (179,99$ canadian). I love it ! It looks very nice, cannot read id-tags, but that's not a problem for me. Sound quality is very good, and the anti-skip for the new MP67 is now 100 sec.
Warning : if you are a Macintosh user, the player will not be able to read MP3 with long names. You should better burn your CD's in ISO or PC format.

Excellent gadget. I love to store over 150 songs in one 0.50 CD and play them. Though, here are its flaws:

1. No Song name display
2. Alakaline Batteries only last 160 mins
3. Remote control does not have a LCD

It has a great Album feature, where you can store folders (Artists p.eg) and skip between them. 100 secs Antishcok: I ve dropped it and it continued to play. I know that there is a coming version with Song name display: 67H. Great Value.

First I must point out ... [that Samsung's web site claims ID3 tag support] as a feature, and the player does NOT support tagging....

Besides the lack of ID3 tag support, this CD MP3 player is great. The sound quality can't be beat and the remote makes operation very handy. What with the low price, this is probably one of the better players around. It seems the players that come with ID3 tagging often don't have the remote, which I feel is necessary for what I'm using it for. I'd rather have the remote than the tag support. And for the price, who can complain? At least it does support folders/albums. You can navigate by album and song number--just print out a numbered index of what's on the CD. If you want to know what's playing, just refer to your list.

I did find that this player does not support Packet-written CD-Rs and CD-RWs, which is a bit of an inconvenience but no big deal.

Battery life is average; none of these portable players will last forever on one set of batteries. It does support NiMH rechargables. The default is 2 AAAs but the player comes with a battery pack that takes an extra 2 AAs for longer life. The player comes with a AC adapter that will charge the AAAs.

The earbuds are good quality, no need to buy new ones.

Overall, the sound quality is the biggest plus, and no amount of frills can make up for a player with sub-average sound. For this price range, and for people who need a remote more than tag support, I would highly recommend the Samsung.

This is a pretty good unit, but some minor imperfections forces me to rate it a 4 instead of a 5. First off, remote is nice, but would be better if it had an LCD display. Battery life is only 2 hours and 40 mins. Also, the LCD DOES NOT display the mp3 title. Overall this is one of the best units out there. It would be nice if the future models included am/fm, and corrected the problems I stated above.
