Re:$87 -- review of MpTrip (Score 1)

I have the $87 dollar MpTrip CD player except when I bought it (2 months ago), it was $100. For all of you out there who want to know about it here goes. I live in Colorado and it has trouble playing the Mp3 discs when it is cold out. If it is really cold it won't play at all and I just use a regular CD which still can skip. It claims 50 sec esp but the little bastard does skip a lot when cold. It should be noted that it says that you can only use CD-Rs that are burned at 2x (incuding .wav CDs), I burned mine at 4x which has a little impact since my friends 2x CDs worked a little better. I have also heard that it can have a problem with over heating but haven't gotten there yet. Another problem is that for regular CD's it cuts off about 2 seconds from the end of each sond. Really anoying when it comes to techno songs. But if you live in a warm climate and are going to be playing mostly mp3s then it would be great. As for me I would probably look into the eXpanium which is probably more stable (since it costs more) and I could afford the extra 100 not to have interupted music, which as we all know, can be very frustrating. Other then the above problems I have thought that the MpTrip is great. 10 hrs of songs on one dics and the ability to switch directories is awasome
