Title: beautiful...but doesn't work as MP3 player
Review: My particular drive worked fine as general-purpose storage. It would play normally encoded CDs but not MP3 files that it recorded itself. (The MP3 files all conformed to the parameter restrictions in the manual.) I confirmed that the MP3-encoded CD itself was OK by taking it to a store that had a boombox that played MP3 CDs, and it played fine on that (so it wasn't operator error). I had expected better digital design or quality from a drive that is this expensive. Also the manual had only a medium correlation with the software on-screen menus. It had poor orientation to MP3 files and software choices. Only one of three people on the phone-line tech-support knew anything about the product & I don't think they had one physically with them. I am returning the drive for a refund.
Is the review positive or negative?
