I needed a CD player that I could use an adapter for and that had a headphone jack so I could plug into my speakers using a Y connector. This one works well although it's a bit smaller than I thought it would be. I did find that in order to advance or skip tracks, I sometimes have to pick it up and press the button. When stationary, pressing down on the button is not enough.
I purchased this after I had found some of my old cd’s in the garage and really wanted to play them. The player works great and I haven’t had a problem yet. I can now feel the nostalgia from my old music!
