It does not get any better than this for an MP3 player!!!
By Pete
The exp401 is really small. Theres no weird software you need to install into your computer to transfer the mp3's to the unit. You burn your cd's on your burner like regular computer data cds. You can play em in your pc, or on the exp401!!! You can bring more than one disc with you and change the disc when your in the mood. i usally have a different type music style on the 10 discs i carry around in my pocket with the player. blank mini cd-r discs cost about 88 cents each.
Its worked well reading iso9660+joliet, and udf formats on both cd-r, and cd-rw mini cd's. I've only used 1 level directorys so far and they work great. I usually use a cd-rw disc formatted in udf to test mp3's. (we shouldent have glitches) Then i will make a cd-r in iso9660+joliet format for longterm listening.

By A Customer
I just bought this a week ago and so far its awesome. The sound quality is great, the DBB (dynamic bass boost) works a lot better than the one on my panasonic discman. The 8cm CD's hold about an hour and a half of music, if you use bitrates above 128, which i do. The batteries and the LCD screen are the only bad parts. The batteries run out fast with the ESP (not that you need it), and the LCD screen doesn't display track names, which isn't that big of a deal on this model because the CD's probably wouldn't hold any more than about 30 songs. The ESP, is not even needed, unless you are doing some serious movment. I usually can run with it and have the ESP off, and it won't skip once. I definently would recommend this product to anyone that is concerned about size, and that doesn't mind not having 400 songs on a CD. If you do decide to get it, be prepared to get a nice pair of headphones, the ones that come with it arent exactly great, and don't fit comfortably at all. An all around great product, though.

Had the player for about 3 months now... my 2 cents.
By Albert Lee
1) The 3 hour battery life is not too bad. I usually carry around an extra pack of batteries with me.2) I do appreciate that the player can read Joliet long filenames, unlike others which read only ISO9660.3) The resume features have been touchy. Sometimes (at random) the player would resume at the beginning of the track or sometimes at the exact position i turned it off.4) My main problem with the player is, for some reason, the battery would drain when left in the player, as if the player was on all along. I emailed philips about this problem, but I still have not gotten a response. I don't know if this is a common problem with others, but it's a major drawback with mine.5) If have any other questions, feel free to email me.
