Conclusion
The D-Link DMP-CD100 is, overall, a very nice addition to any audiophile's collection of gadgets. Its ability to handle regular audio CD's as fit as any other high-end regular CD player along with its ability to play MP3 CD's makes it an excellent value at only about the same price that one would be able to buy a high-end Discman for. It includes some "common" features found on all MP3/CD players, such as the ability to play from multiple types of CD-R discs, but also includes some of D-Link's own creations. One of which is their T-Digit feature, which allows the user to skip through their CD by inputting the track number, digit-by-digit, which, I found, to be quite ineffective. Fortunately, the D-Link has its long battery life going for it to help it stand out from the rest; I can't stress enough about how surprised I was to get a whopping 7 hours of playtime out of it! This makes it an excellent choice for users who travel a lot and want to take their music with them, which, of course, is what the DMP-CD100 was designed for in the first place. Because of this, the D-Link DMP-CD100 is now my new choice for playing those MP3 files away from the computer.
Pros
- Flawless regular audio CD playback
- Excellent battery life
- Support for multi-session CD's
- Built-in battery recharger
Cons
- T-Button ineffective in its purpose
- Included ear buds produced poor sounds
- Unable to play MP3 files at rated bit-rates (problems @ > 192kbps)
