Editorial Review:
Portable CD-player with 60 second anti-skip protection and car kit.
Designed for people whose car stereos haven't yet entered the 21st century, this GPX car kit--which comes with a personal CD player, a cassette adapter, stereo ear buds, and a cigarette lighter plug--lets folks enjoy their favorite CDs while on the road without installing an expensive in-dash CD system. The car kit is a breeze to set up: simply insert the cassette adapter into the car's cassette deck and connect the cigarette lighter plug. The plug powers the CD player while the cassette adapter directs the music through the car's dual stereo speakers. Listeners won't have to worry about CD skips and other interruptions thanks to the CD player's anti-skip protection (ASP), which stores the music data for 60 seconds to safeguard against speed bumps and other road disruptions. Plus, the ASP protects the CD player when it's out of the car, such as while you're jogging or working out at the gym.
The CD player is equipped with several essential functions, such as track programming, CD-R and CD-RW compatibility, repeat and random play, and song skip/search. The device's high-quality audio performance stems from its automatic bass boost system, which ensures a deep, rich overall sound that belies the CD player's compact size. Additional features include a six-digit backlit LCD display, a low battery indicator, and an electronic volume control. The device runs on two AA batteries (not included) and carries a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.

CD Player - superb:
The CD player works very well in the car - the car adapter is very good. The player is able to withstand vibrations well and not have the sound or player affected. This player is a very good value for the price.
Worst.CD player.Ever:
It seems GPX did almost the bare minimum necessary to make a device that actually plays CDs. Features that I thought would be standard for any CD player were noticeably lacking. When you stopped the CD player and restarted it it would not queue up to the point at which it stopped - it would start over from the very beginning. Also, it would change the volume setting back to near minimum. Most of the time I found that unless it was held perfectly still and level, it would have problems actually getting the... more info
Good Service:
The product came as advertised, in a timely manner and it is working well. I would definitely order it again and appreciate the service.
Inadequate:
The best thing about this package is the accessories. The CD player itself is temperamental and inadequate. The cassette adapter, stereo ear buds, and cigarette lighter plug do indeed allow listeners to play CDs while on the road. We bought the player to avoid running a battery-operated CD player while in the car. The plug powers the CD player, and the listener can use the earbuds to listen to something other than the music on the main stereo system. That part works fine. The problem is that the... more info
