Pros: burns cds, plays CD-R (CDs, MP3s, and Windows Media)

RipGO = RipOff

(1.00 out of 5) by walterk55 on Nov 1, 2002

Pros: Good Playback quality
Cons: Poor fabrication quality; battery went dead ; no Mac OSX support
The Bottom Line: Try it, maybe you'll have better luck than I did, but the quality issue is a real one, and just be sure you can return it if you have problems
