Remote notwithstanding, I still like the product after all I can still listen to the many discs that I have made, which may lead you to think 'overpriced CD player', however, the compact size of the product and the accompanying discs, single AA battery use, no skip factor makes it win hands down over a CD player

sound quality.*Small size*MD media is cheap and robust and small.*Can listen to AM/FM through the remote unit

The software that came with it was more or less easy to use, and I was able to record a mini disc in almost no time at all!It's traveled with me several times on airlplanes, and it's compact size and shape are great space savers in my carry-on bag.
