What a great machine!

I bought this item with some degree of trepidation after reading some of the reviews. However, the price I found via the Amazon Warehouse Deals website presented me with an offer I couldn't refuse. The unit was listed as refurbished and was less than half the price of a new unit.

I received it within two days and it looked new to me, except for a slightly tattered box. Because of the reviews, I was so worried about whether or not it might damage my CDs, I made copies of the ones I cherish the most and put those in "just in case." I have loaded about 110 CDs into it (I can't really see the day when I will fill it up) and have run it fairly solidly for several days. It works like a charm; great sound and it has not harmed my CDs at all. Like others have mentioned, I also put together an Excel spreadsheet to track which CDs are in each slot as I inserted them and I categorized them by type (jazz, rock, pop, etc.) My next step will be to enter these categories as the artist names so that I can have it randomly select those tracks to stay within the same music "mood" (the manual actually offers this approach as a suggestion for randomly playing music).

It does not really bother me, as some have complained, that I cannot also have it randomly select tracks from the same artist as well; if I want that I'll just keep playing those particular discs myself, no big deal. I have also put together quite a few of my own music compilations onto discs and I like the fact that if I want to throw in a few MP3 formats, it can handle those as well.

I find it interesting that some have complained about these type of machines only lasting five years. If I can get three years out of it I will feel I (easily) got my money's worth. The sound is excellent and I also have no issue with the disc changing time. Although it is fairly large (hey, it holds 400 CDs!), it has a really nice appearance with a soft blue light that is lit in the background when it is on. It does tend to get you play CDs more than you normally might simply because they are so much handier.

Anyway, for me, so far so good. I am not really a Sony fan due to their proprietary marketing strategies (e.g. Memory Stick and Blue-Ray)which I think are bad for the consumer, but I have to give them credit for this one....I couldn't be happier with it. If things change in regard to its performance or quality, I will update this review. I am not sure if I would be quite as thrilled if I had paid the full price, but as for the Warehouse Deals deal I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase.

THIS SONY 400 DISK CD PLAYER IS A GREAT WAY TO STORE YOUR MUSIC WHILE MAKING IT EASILY ACCESSABLE. YOU CAN SORT YOUR CD'S INTO CATAGORIES FROM COUNTRY TO CLASSICAL, THEN LOAD THE DISKS & CONNECT A COMPUTER KEYBOARD TO TYPE IN YOUR NAME FOR THE CD WHICH WILL SHOW UP ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN, MAKING IT EASY TO VIEW YOUR SELECTION. SOOOOO COOL....WE LOVE IT!!! GREAT PRODUCT!!

Great CD player

Some friends have told me that this CD player is old fashioned 20 th century stuff and that MP3 etc.. is the way to go in the 21 st century. Perhaps, but I have over 400 CDs and this box does everything I expected it to do. Sounds and works great, easy to operate. I heard rumors about destroying disks but have seen no hint of that in the month I have been using it. I think you should do as the instructions say and NOT move it once it is loaded. I have moved mine VERY CAREFULLY!

I'm very pleased with this item. It works as depicted. The instruction book could be done better, as it took a while to figure out some of the functions.

CD Mega Storage

Love the unit. A little time consuming to set the CD's up and program, but in the long run it is really worth the bother.
