The Good: Ultraslim design; excellent sound quality, antiskip protection; highly functional in-line remote; FM tuner; included car kit.
The Bad: Cumbersome external battery pack; must use in-line remote.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for an MP3 CD player, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better choice at any price.
