The CD player works very well in the car - the car adapter is very good. The player is able to withstand vibrations well and not have the sound or player affected. This player is a very good value for the price.
After a few weeks of fighting with it I chose to buy a low-end Sony Discman for about the same price, and that works far, far better. And if it lost its tracking it would never recover.
Features that I thought would be standard for any CD player were noticeably lacking. It seems GPX did almost the bare minimum necessary to make a device that actually plays CDs.
Most of the time I found that unless it was held perfectly still and level, it would have problems actually getting the CD to start playing. When you stopped the CD player and restarted it it would not queue up to the point at which it stopped - it would start over from the very beginning.
Also, it would change the volume setting back to near minimum. These "features" are pretty much antithetical to those you'd want for a CD player for a car.
I wouldn't recommend buying this CD player unless you need a stand-in for a movie stunt in which you didn't want to damage a real CD player.
The product came as advertised, in a timely manner and it is working well. I would definitely order it again and appreciate the service.
It doesn't always play. The best thing about this package is the accessories. The cassette adapter, stereo ear buds, and cigarette lighter plug do indeed allow listeners to play CDs while on the road. The problem is that the CD player is unreliable. It would have been worth it if the cigarette lighter-power-adapter worked well with other cd players too. We bought the player to avoid running a battery-operated CD player while in the car.
Other CD players we looked at in this round cost about $10 or $15. The CD player itself is temperamental and inadequate. It requires a firm bang with the fist to get it going. The plug powers the CD player, and the listener can use the earbuds to listen to something other than the music on the main stereo system. That part works fine. This one ran us $25.
But it doesn't.A definite bust.
