Amazon.com Product Description

The Casio PZ-5000 portable MP3-CD player is a conveniently sized midpriced player that reads standard audio CDs as well as MP3 files recorded on a CD-R. The PZ-5000's extended-play function plays up to 160 MP3 music files--without the expense or space limitations of a CD changer.

The PZ-5000 features MP3-compatible search/play functions for locating specific tracks quickly and easily, giving you immediate access to your favorite songs. Searches are available alphabetically by the first letter of a song title, by intro (the first 10 seconds of each song), or by a directory search, a convenient and intuitive function that lets you select tracks via directories that are designated during the formatting of the MP3 files.

The player also offers programmable memory, repeat and random play, bass boost, and auto power-off. The 40-second Digital Shock Guard ensures smooth performance even through bumps and jostles. This, together with the PZ-5000's handy car kit, makes it ideal for travel. Over-ear headphones are included, a refreshing change from the often uncomfortable earbud headphones often parceled with portable disc players. ... Read more

It plays mac CD's!!!
Lo and behold an MP3 cd player from Casio. I figured like all the other MP3/CD players this thing would skip like crazy and eat batteries in an hour but boy was I surprised! Not only does it have a great battery life but it plays Mac formatted MP3 discs. By total accident I loaded in a cd that I had made of some music I was taking to work and began listening then I realized it wasnt an ISO 9660 formatted disc. Great sound, easy navigation, sturdy hardware, with the addition of a remote or larger LCD for ID3 navigation this would easily deserve that 5th star.... ... Read more
