Query: The best CD player anywhere!

Even if you're not wowed by the unique design of the SlimX, it will impress you with its music playing prowess. It will easily handle any compressed audio format you're using, and as it's upgradeable, that's a promise it will be able to keep. For myself, I've migrated over to WMA format, enabling me to stuff twice as many tunes onto a disc. I cannot hear even a hint of signal degradation, even when concentrating on more extraneous, backround instrumentals. The SlimX itself is fairly intuitive, thank God, because you won't get a lot of info from the 'manual' (using the word loosely). The best part of the deal for me is the indiglo-like remote control, with good read-out and access to all the key functions of the player, without having to actually dig the player out from where you've stowed it (backpack, etc.). The biggest minus are the cheap earbuds included. I would save them for an emergency and use your favorite headphones whenever possible.
