Good overall but low of features

(3.00 out of 5) by cirilobeto on Oct 27, 2002

Pros: lots of music, battery life

SURE it's magic....

(4.00 out of 5) by hoborocks on Jan 4, 2002

Pros: The mid-size is good for jamming into your backpack when teacher walks in.
Cons: Skips as if the "Magic ESP" is working against you!
The Bottom Line: It does the job, sure. But shell out a few more bucks and check out the rest of the eXpanium line - this model is outdated.

So after returning the RCA MP3-CD player I originally bought, I was then shown a $150 credit and a v ...
