Home > Consumer Reviews > Memorex MPD8507CP Personal CD/MP3 Player with 120 Seconds of MP3 Anti-Skip Protection

this player has very little battery life. I put in new batteries and 20 minutes later it tells me it's low on batteries. It has a nice display, but that is about it's only good feature. It also tends to skip.

This player is awesome. Sounds Great, Great $..A must get if wanting an MP3 player..

well i purchased the memorex mpd8507 almost 2 months back.. and it was troublesome turning it on in the begining.. there is some problem with it. it doesnt switches in cold weather.. for the anti skip protection its not very good but ok.. but the memorex has a major problem while reading CD's. my mp3 player refuses to play any CD .. it gives me a Disc Error..i've tried cleaning the lense and everything i could very well imagine to do with it.. its like a total waste for me.. so if any one can tell me why this mp3 player doesn't works in cold weather and why does it gives me a Disc Error on the MP3 cd's as well as on Audio Cd's

beware, you get what you pay for...

if you simply want a cd player that plays mp3 cd's and don�t care about quality or features, get this.
there are many problems with this, though.
1. resume function does not work, it will only work if you don�t turn the cd player off, which is stupid
because it automatically turns off after 60 secs. even then, it doesn�t resume where you left off in the
song, only at the song
2. buttons to skip tracks are backwards
3. volume control is made of 2 buttons, not a wheel, so it can be hard to push up when you want to go up
4. random function is not random. the first time you put in a cd, its random, but if you put in the same cd again, it plays the same tracks in the same order
5. music quality is ok, but not great
6. skips about once every 5 minutes even while resting on a table, and about once a minute while walking
7. randomly stops playing a song while walking
8. search function only searches the name of the beginning of songs, doesn�t look through the whole filename
9. no backlight
10. if song doesnt have an ID3 tag, it will display "title : unknown author : unknown" instead of just displaying the filename, which would have made a whole lot more sense.
11. bulky and heavy
12. while playing a song above the manufacturers recommended 128kpbs, the elapsed time shown is not accurate

in conclusion, this is a no name piece of ..., and if you are really into listening to mp3 cds, buy something else. I�m on my way to go return this hunk of junk right now....

I was almost put off from buying this unit because of the other
negative reviews. The one I got is great; loads of features and everything worked perfectly.
