Amazon.com Product Description
The RCA RP2480 personal CD player combines slim styling with advanced features--including support for MP3 and Windows Media Audio formats and SmartTrax navigation--making it a great choice for all-night study sessions at the coffeehouse or jogs through the park. It even includes MusicMatch MP3 recording software for burning your own MP3 CDs with up to 10 hours of music each. On-the-go users will appreciate the unit's espXtreme anti-skip protection, which varies from 45 seconds for audio CDs to 200 seconds for MP3 and WMA files, so you can enjoy shock-resistant, uninterrupted music playback even in turbulent conditions. The SmartTrax navigation technology, meanwhile, helps you quickly access specific songs or playlists using a library of computer-generated ID tags that identify digital audio files by title, artist, album, year, genre and track number. The SmartTrax file management system can even "read" song data from your recordable CDs, letting you view track names and create playlists at the touch of a button. To make it easier to navigate through SmartTrax data, the RP2480 includes a three-line dot-matrix display and offers 30-track/folder programmability.

Playback functions include track programming for creating your own custom soundtrack, CD-R and CD-RW compatibility, repeat and shuffle play, resume (starts playing the CD from where it left off), intro scan, and song skip/search. The device's audio performance is enhanced by the digital bass boost system, which ensures a deep, rich overall sound that belies the CD player's compact size, and three equalizer presets that let you customize the audio based on genre and listener preferences. Add in the pair of clip-on stereo headphones, which fit neatly on the ear and stay on while you exercise, and you're ready to rock.

Style-conscious users, meanwhile, will delight in the sleek white color with black highlights. The RP2480 runs for up to 20 hours on two AA batteries, making it a great fit for long road trips and marathon study sessions. And at 5.2 by 1.02 by 5.63 inches, it always takes up a minimum of space wherever you use it. It's also backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Great Backup Drive.......2007-06-10

I'm not much of a techie but this drive was VERY easy to install and VERY easy to burn to. Extremely pleased with it....Holds all my photos and music backups. Great Device.

Fast, Easy.......2007-06-02

Teke it out of the box - that's the toughest part - plug it into your computer or laptop and drag all that you want to copy to it. Then plug it into your other computer, and reverse the process. Or put it in your briefcase or suitcase and take it to wherever you happen to be going, and show whoever wants to or is willing to watch your "slides" what's on the drive. It's true plug and play. And it really is fast.

There should be negatives stars in the ratings.......2007-05-20

I have no real issues with the product, it just wasn't compatible with my laptop...no problem, not everything is. My complaint is with the distributor ANTONLINE. DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY!!! I have filed my first ever complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

The company has a ridiculous, unheard of, policy that once a package is opened it cannot be returned. How is a consumer supposed to try out the product if you cannot open the package????!!! The customer service department will take ONLY email requesats...you cannot speak to a human. I finally was able to get a person in the sales department. She was of no help, rude, and hung up the phone on me. Unfortunately when I finally got through again she answered the phone. She pushed me through to her voicemail...another dead end. So I am stuck with a product that I cannot use & out $80.

I wrote a letter to the company. That was weeks ago. Never heard a thing - not surprising. I'm sure this product is just fine if it's compatible with your systems, but PLEASE go through the Western Dig. company directly, DON'T BUY FROM ANTONLINE!!!!!!!!

Generic Volume??.......2007-05-20

After putting pictures onto it for the first time usage, I try to eject the device by clicking on the 'Saftly Remove Hardware' icon in the system tray and click on stop and it says "Device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later". This message keeps coming up all the time I use it. And I'm scared to remove the driver unless the computer is off. Is there any way of stopping the generic volume so i can remove the device? I am using windows XP.

The rest is fine....quick, quiet, and good size..but I am not sure if it's reliable.

Works the way it should.......2007-05-13

The product works fine just don't use the WDSync program that comes with it (crashes on my Windows XP) just move the files you want into the Hard drive and you are set.
