Amazon.com Product Description
With the ability to play standard and recordable CDs--including discs brimming with MP3 music files--The Philips EXP320 is a great basic CD player. Its rich sound and extended, 100-second skip protection make it perfect for listening, studying, and exercising. It also offers shuffle and repeat modes, and heat-resistant body and handy belt clip let you use this CD player anywhere.

"Magic" electronic skip protection automatically stores digital music information during play using a 100-second buffer (MP3, 128 kbps) and inserts it in place of lost information when the CD player is bumped or shaken, preventing interruptions caused by shocks and vibration. Playback options include 50-track programming for extended MP3 sequencing, resume (a bookmark function that picks up playback where you last stopped), repeat (track or disc), and random play.

MP3 features include ID3 tag recognition for convenient song and artist name displays, and a navigation system that lets you scroll through discs by either album or by individual track. Included MusicMatch software makes CD-to-MP3 conversion a cinch, offering free artist and track lookup from an online database.

A hold switch prevents unintended interruptions in playback and saves batteries by negating playback when the player is stopped. Auto power off kicks in one minute after playback has ended, an additional battery-saving convenience. The onboard one-bit digital-to-analog converter renders digital audio as smoothly and accurately as possible. The player runs for approximately 20 hours (MP3 playback; 15 hours for audio CD) on two standard AA batteries (not supplied).
