OK, so I'm easily amused...but IT IS AWESOME! It almost feels like a suede plastic cover, very easy to use, great all the way around...for the price having an AM/FM tuner included and everything digital is remarkable (I spent under $15 plus shipping) for it! The Batteries go inside once you flip it open which is another unique thing that when you are running or dancing or doing whatever listening to it, the battery casing isn't explosed where they can come out! Memorex did a remarkable job at designing this CD player and honestly had I had the money and now looking at it would have probably been willing to spend almost $100 for it!

The CD player quit working after only five months.

I had a difficult time returning this item. It was easy to program radio stations into memory and at times the sound quality was good. The bass button was noticeable even with the stock headphones, which don't totally suck.
However, I just found tuner interference to be too much. In a neighborhood where my car stereo doesn't have annoying blips and gaps, this unit didn't give me good clean reception.
Both AM and FM reception had this problem at times.
Sunspot activity? Maybe---we are having high activity now.
Radio Shack's manager blamed the nuclear plant at Reed college....I doubt it---that would cause far more problems than radio reception.
He also said that no other units would be any better....we shall see....
I didn't try the CD player...I presume it would be fine.
