Disadvantages: size, lack of off button

Aaah, the ol' Panasonic Cd player. It brings back some good memories of the 90's. I remember getting this and being clueless of what it was, and I didn't even have any CDs. That changed fast. As soon as I put that Venga Boys album it all made sense. CDs are the way forward, well, they were until ipods came along and really raised the bar.

Aesthetically, this looks good, it has an original design and looks modern and up to date even though its quite old. Its not particularly small, but it is as small as a CD player can be without breaking the CD, and its light. The lid of the CD player doesn't actually open that far when you slide the open button at the front, but it can open furter with some gentle pursuasion. There's even a little window so you can watch your cd whizz around! Brilliant!

Its easy to use and shows track numbers and how far into the song you are, which is pretty useful. The bad side is, there is no off button, so it has an idle shut down which is annoying becasue I hate the feeling of wasting double a batteries.
