I Still love to listen to cd, and Panasonic SL-SX430 is the best player ever . Nice designed and reliable . Sound quality is great . One of the Best anty skip mechains ever built in to a cd player . It gets more hours of playing time Than any other machin . It will play all type of cds and will also play Mp3 . It has to time delay to remove any skips in your play back . Batteris last a long time in this . It plays plenty loud enough but for those love the extra lout this maynot cut it . When you are listning to it all night the buttons are not illuminated nor do they have a tack tick touch . This is can be had so resonably, this is about the gretest valu in music in the market . Thank you.
