Amazon.com Product Description
Listen to your favorite CDs, MP3s, audiocassettes, and radio programs while away from home with the Coby MP-CD450 portable stereo system. A great fit for folks who want an affordable stereo for tailgaters or outdoor parties, the system is built around its top-loading CD player, which plays traditional audio CDs and CD-R/RWs along with MP3s recorded on CD. The device gives listeners access to more of their digital music library while also cutting down on CD cargo for road trips (the average CD-R holds 10 hours of compressed MP3 music). The CD player also boasts search and repeat (one or all) functions, along with a backlit LED display that details track and artist information.

To complement the CD player, Coby included both an auto-stop cassette deck and an analog AM/FM tuner. The deck's two-way recording (CD and radio) sounds particularly good thanks to the one-touch automatic level control, which ensures consistent results regardless of the source. Meanwhile, the AM/FM radio offers an alternative for folks who enjoy talk programming and DJ playlists.

The feature set concludes with a pair of 4-inch wide-range speakers (2 watts x 2), which produce a solid overall sound. Though not powerful, the speakers do the job, especially considering the system's affordable price. The MP-CD450 also includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a carrying handle, and runs on eight D-size batteries or AC power.

3 out of 5 stars boom box expo   September 9, 2008
B. Bucciarelli (Norwalk, CT)
This unit is very good for cds and tapes. The radio/tuner is not very good. It picks up one staion for almost the enitre width of the band. Even with the antenna it still does this. I can't listen to my favorite station on this boom box. I have to listen on my old boom box or my old Sony cd clock radio. Needless to say I am disappointed I have to keep old stuff around to listen to the radio. I thought this new boom box would fill all my needs.


1 out of 5 stars It's Great as long as it works! Make Sure You Buy a Warranty!   August 30, 2008
Jenna L. Lewis (Arlington, TX USA)
This is a great product -- when it works. The first one I bought didn't work so I had to return it; the 2nd worked -- for about a month and a half. Now I have to get it fixed or replaced under my extended warranty. So far, I have a 100% failure rate within 2 months for the two boom boxes.

While it is working, this sounds good and is easy to operate.

Just make sure that you buy a good extended warranty.

We have some MP3 CDs that will not play in some players. A piece of cake with this one. Good sound, size and weight. It is also portable. My wife really likes it.

I had checked at Wal-mart & Big lots for a radio that would utalize a tape plus a disc. The prices were quite a bit higher than Amazon. With the free shipping, it definitely was a savings. The quality & mechanics of this radio are good. Would definitely recommend this product.
