I'm a walker - if the day is pretty, I'll stroll aimlessly for hours. While I own an iPod, I wanted a CD player so I could borrow audio books from the library. Faced with a confusing display of numerous models, I remembered that one of my good friends has a CD player with a remote. This remote is very helpful if you want to put the CD player in, say, a backpack, but still want to control the device. After 15 minutes of just staring at the different models, I finally decided on this one.br /br /I couldn't be happier with my choice. Amazon's image doesn't show the remote, which fits into the headphone hole. Headphones (also included) fit into a hole on the top of the remote. Maybe this doesn't sound like much, but it's a wonderful idea for two reasons. First, you don't have to settle for the stock headphones, if you want something nicer. Second, if you're sitting at the computer, say, typing up a review for Amazon, and you hear the phone ring, you can quickly detach the headphones from the remote and dash to the phone.br /br /The anti-skip feature is wonderful, perfect for those quick sprints across a busy highway. I haven't tried running for an extended period of time, however.br /br /The battery life is amazing: I've had this CD player for over a week, and am still using the first set of batteries I bought.br /br /If you're right in the middle of a track and you turn the CD player off (by pressing stop), it saves your position. Next time you start the CD player, you'll be right when you ended. _Very_ handy, and not just for audio books.br /br /I'm not sure if this is universal for CD players or not - this is only the second I've ever owned, the first one being when I was eight - but if you press and hold either the back or forwards skip button, the player will rewind or fast forward, respectively.br /br /Another wonderful feature that Amazon doesn't mention is the "preset" feature - you can pop in a CD and choose the order in which the songs play. br /br /Bass boost - which Amazon _does_ mention - is a nice touch, though nothing extraordinary. Same with the FM radio.br /br /Like I said above, I got this at Wal-Mart, and I paid just under , while Amazon offers it for . A low price for a high-quality machine? Wow. Bargain alert!

RCA Personal CD Player with FM Tuner - A. Bowens - New York, NY USA
br /Received in good condition and in a timely manner. I love programming only the songs I want to hear!

A bit cheap - R. Welsch -
The hold switch fell off at first use. The buttons on top are not labeled, no arrows, squares, etc. At least it works, I guess.
