My wife was a little angry at first, but she uses it all the time at the present. Her use speaks for itself.

Granted this probably isn't the rule, but I received a non-functioning unit. I received no replacement, but did receive a full refund.

Here's a disc that should've been titled 'Raw Live Cuts' or maybe 'Bootleg Bits Of Home Tapes'. The first three songs "Rambling Rose","Kick Out The Jams" and "Come Together" are of rather dismal sound quality, but rest assure, 'Greatest Hits Live' does get better. Decent sounding tracks would be "Rocket Reducer #62", the bootie-stomping "Looking At You", "Human Being Lawnmower", "Borderline","I Want You", and "Black To Comm". Keep in mind that these songs do have MUCH of a bootleg vibe to them. There are a few covers like James Brown's "Cold Sweat" and Cream's "Born Under A Bad Sign". It's more than safe to say that 'Greatest...' is aimed toward collectors and MC 5 completists.

All MC5 fans are hoping that a concert as clean as "Jams" will someday surface. (W're also hoping that Electra will release the complete "Jams" sessions!) But this CD is just another collection of non-soundboard live recordings. Not too listenible and even less entertaining. So far the only postumous MC5 CDs worth picking up are "Babes In Arms", "Thunder Express" and "Big Bang".(MC5 fans should sniff out Rob Tyner's incredible solo swan song "Bloodbrothers"!)

I bought one of these players two years ago. Within two months (fortunately during the warranty period), the lens knocked itself out of alignment, keeping the player from even seeking to the beginning of the disc. The Sony repair technician replaced the lens assembly, and all was well for about 6 months, after which the player developed a problem in which it would abort playback, clear memory, and reset the player. This happens when the player moves at all suddenly - not good at all for walking, and I wouldn't even CONSIDER jogging with it. Great sound, average battery life, almost unrivaled skip protection, but little to no reliablity in my case.

Man! I just bought this CD player and it kicks some major butt! The CD player looks dope and the sound is great! Buy this player!!
