Soon as received, it was out of order. I tried to refund but no way to find the way due to disorganized web site design of Amazon.

I purchased this CD Player in the "Ice Purple" version, but since that was discontinued I decided to write about the blue one since they are exactly the same. The reviews on the purple version were actually pretty good that is why I decided to buy it! I am very disappointed in this product. The first one I had simply stopped working after a few weeks. Amazon was great and replaced it for me. Now a few months later, the replacement is not working properly. The anti-skip protection is very poor...it simply stops playing at the slightest bump and either jumps to another song, stops completely or resumes where it left off a few seconds later. It eats batteries very quickly and now, again, stops playing for no apparent reason. I don't think it's going to last much longer...what a waste of money!

After learning many opinions on this player, several of which were negative, I decided that I would go ahead and give this product a chance anyway. BIG MISTAKE! Basically, it flat out didn't work. From the very moment I tried it (and with various types of CD's) it would start up and leave a message on the LCD saying "no disc." It was highly frusterating and even the technical support line way inadequate at best. Generally speaking, I like Memorex products. However, this one could be used only as little more than an overpriced jewel case. Even my off-brand cheap one is more reliable.

I bought this off Amazon brand new, and after 1 week, when I put a disc in, nothing would happen when I pushed play or anything. I put brand new batteries in and still, nothing.

DO NOT BUY THIS JUST FOR THE PRICE! SPEND $20 MORE DOLLARS AND BUY A CD PLAYER THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!

I didn't get this brand, i got the MD6445 45 sec anti-shock with car kit...and i'm very sorry i did. I had the unit for 5 days and in the middle of a song it just stopped working! Since then, i keep getting a "no disc" error in the display. Believe me, i suspected the discs were the problem too, and checked them. They were NOT the problem. I did some checking on the internet and it seems that this is a very common problem with Memorex. As a matter of fact, it's a common problem with many, if not all, brands - even Sony! To make matters worse, i went on their website, and they didn't have a customer support link! I won't buy from Memorex again just for that. It's so unprofessional! My suggestion people - whichever brand you buy, keep your warranty and purchase receipts...something that i didn't think to do. You may get lucky and get a good unit, then again, you may be like me and many, many others who threw away a good 40 - 50 bucks - if not more!
