This is a fantastic stereo, for a handful of really great reasons. I first saw it when its fantastic look took my eye, its clearly a take (I would go as far to say imitation) or apple's iPod and personal computers. This is nothing to sniff at as its sleek, pretty white and has all the advantages of being compact.
The stereo provides you with a CD player and a Radio tuner, but this is nothing. In the bottom right hand corner of the main interface there is an AUX port, meaning that with the right cable you can connect any MP3 player or indeed any product with a headphone jack socket and play the sound through the stereo's speakers.
This is a fantastic asset as most MP3 audio systems cost up to £70 and only play one type of play where as this system can play any given audio device, even tape player or record deck for less that £50.
There is a down side, the AUX cable needed to connect your devices is shamefully not included... BUT you can find them on eBay in droves for normally less than £5. JUST SEARCH AUX Male to Male, and you should be presented with an abundance of them in a range on lengths.
Other cool things about this product are the fact that it has a Bass boasting system that gives music a greater depth at any volume. And speaking of volume the speakers don't create any real or noticeable cracking when playing at the loudest of volumes. The CD or Radio can be sued as an alarm clock (and a clock of course), meaning you can wake up each day to a different CD of your choosing! You can set the stereo to repeat shuffle or repeat and entire album on loop. And finally, the player has a remote which is useful and allows you to control most options. Sadly it's range is the most disappointing thing about the whole product as it only reaches for about 15ft, and of course you can't control your MP3 player with it so if you're using the AUX input you may need to get up a lot to sort it out.
Over all this CD player is excellent for its price, it does so many wonderful things that any tiny problems you may have just seem to disappear. Its an amazing piece of equipment for your music and I strongly suggest you buy it as it provides a lot more than the over prices alternatives.
