It was a great player, until it broke!

(3.00 out of 5) by greybeh on Jul 14, 2003

Pros: Lots of features, hours of music on one MP3 CD
Cons: Broke three months out of warranty, expensive!
The Bottom Line: This is an expensive unit and after just a year and 3 months, I'm in search of a replacement. This was a very bad purchase for me.

I must preface this review by saying that I'm relatively rough on my portable audio equipment. I car ...
