Amazon.com Review
With nice sound quality, a slick appearance, and a terrific price, this RCA portable CD player is hard to pass up. You get all the basics you'd expect from any CD player including sturdy, lightweight headphones; a clear 6-digit LCD showing the track, minutes, and seconds; and the ability to repeat a track or the whole disc. Plus, the RCA RP2301 also offers more advanced features.

You can program up to 22 tracks in any order, pump the sound with the bass boost option, and opt for a random playing order. The simplicity of the unit eliminates the need to read the manual before you can operate it--not something every portable CD player can claim. To program, press the back or forward button to the track you want, then press the program button. You continue doing this until you've programmed all the tracks you want to hear.

Buffering was adequate although not enough for sports use. The unit's matte, metallic-gray, plastic case gives the RP2301 a sleek look. The CD door opens widely, making it easy to insert and remove discs. Most controls are on top of the door, including program, random, and repeat. You'll also find the primary buttons here: back, stop, play/pause, and forward. These buttons are a little small and their VCR-style markings are somewhat hard to see. But the remaining controls are conveniently located on the sides of the unit.

The AC/DC jack is on the left side, and the control, open, and bass switches are on the front. The control switch, when on hold instead of on, deactivates all other buttons so you won't accidentally change mode--a useful feature on a portable unit. To the right of the bass switch, you'll find the volume control and the headphone jack. The RCA RP2301 comes with an AC adapter and can run on two AA batteries. A battery-saving, auto-off feature, turns the player off about 10 seconds after a CD finishes.

2 out of 5 stars Not the color I expected.......2006-12-31

The color of the product I received is nothing like the picture! If you want Royal Blue then this is the case for you.

1 out of 5 stars Horrible and cheap!.......2006-12-18

I bought this exact case at the local mall and was told there was no refunds or exchanges. Doh! This crappy case broke within 3 weeks of use. I only took it off approximately 3 times and babied it when I did. No jostling or forcing the case. The little prongs that held the front faceplate on broke and the teal metallic color started wearing after only this short time.

Do not buy this POS unless you want to throw your money out.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2006-11-12

I am very surprised how well this case fit my Razr V3M. It fits very well and looks very nice.
