TDK MOJO Personal CD Player

Pros: Excellent menu design, large anti-skip buffer, solid overall design
Cons: Only MP3 and CDA files, no flash ROM for firmware upgrade, cheaper options

I first reviewed this under the TDK MOJO MP3-CD Player at epinions but almost a half year has passed and epinions added this section. Time to update this review seeing that several new options have appeared in the MP3 hardware world.

...

Pros: Excellent menu system, sturdy design, CD-R/RW storage, large anti-skip buffer
Cons: firmware NOT upgradable, too much competition now, only MP3 and CDA support... no WMA!

The RioVolt isn't alone out there... that once weak world of CD-MP3 players has been dominated totally by the RioVolt/Soul Player. RioVolt browbeat all the rest of the competition into faint memory... however, the competition doesn't like to lie on...

Pros: Great design, remote control and great player too.
Cons: Still no WMA support, short battery life compared to Sony.

Now that I have myself one of those MP3 CD players for my car, now I need one that I could really use outside the car and the home, or even up at my resort home near Sudbury, ON. But this time, instead of those that offer the FM tuner or that they just...

Pros: Easy MP3 searching, long EPS times for both audio CDs and MP3
Cons: No WMA support, no inline remote, firmware is not upgradeable, battery hog

TDK's CDMP3-12 (Mojo Digital Jukebox) is the latest entry into the world of CD-MP3 players. How is it separating itself from the competition? The Mojo emphasizes a new, easy-to-use interface for finding your songs. And TDK delivers with a great...

Pros: cool backlit LCD, many options
Cons: SHORT! battery life:(

I was either gonna go with Sony or TDK. I spent about an hour in the store just staring at both Sony D-CJ506CK and TDK Mojo 620, meticulously dissecting every inch of their design, within the limits of their sealed plastic packagings. If I had the money...

Pros: Flexible unit, great remote, easy to learn & use, fairly robust design
Cons: Not designed for album playback, some minor "buggy" behavior, a bit bulky

Simply put, this is a great little unit. It's not something you'll build your home stereo around, but it's excellent for morning commutes, long drives and plane flights.

I'm picky with my music, and like to have a big selection. With this...

Pros: Support for lyrics, power-saving spindown while playing, only 2 AA's
Cons: Doesn't support WMA or mp3PRO (but upgradable!), battery troubles.

This thing is simply awesome. Its flash ROM is upgradable and it even lets you edit the startup screen. It has a memory for up to 10 CDs so it doesn't have to spend an entire hour cataloging the CD every time you turn it on. You can pick exactly what...

Pros: Great MP3 format support, Excellent display. Decent organization
Cons: Can't scan. No resume play. Poor navigation decision.

I waited a while before purchasing an MP3 player because I wanted the products to mature. I purchased a cheapo MP3 player and returned it a week later because it had difficulty playing back some MP3s with strange bit rates.

You can run into...

Pros: Skip Free, good construction, intuitive controls, good sound, good display
Cons: no remote, not upgradeable, slightly bulky, plain design, weird DC port, cannot scan MP3 files

Introduction

I've been looking for a CD-MP3 player for quite some time now. Since I've just got a 24x10x40x CD-RW drive, I can really take advantage of it with this player. I've used a solid-state (memory card based) MP3 player...

Pros: extremely easy to use, great navigation system, perfect for on the go listening
Cons: major battery hog, confusing software, cheap make, ugly

I've had quite a few experiences with bad CD players in my time. Last week, my third Philips CD player went berzerk and died, leaving me with a very important decision, in my opinion: what CD player to buy?

I was interested in buying an MP3-CD...

Pros: Great Price, Smart Features, Slick, and 8 MINUTES ANTISKIP.
Cons: A tad bulky, and lacking in a second navigation via headphone cord.

Popped in a CD with 100 songs including rock, rap, blues, electronic and classical. Everything sounded GREAT, except for the N'STINK song that mysteriously got on. Ok, I put it there, but out of curiosity. Ok, I like it. The things I know you want to ...

Pros: Great anti-skip buffer, good build quality, good LCD display, good battery life
Cons: None that I've found yet

I received the TDK Mojo MP3-CD player as a Christmas gift in December of 2001. It came with a pair of TDK over-the-ear headphones (the kind that have the ring by your neck, instead of on top of your head), a pair of AA batteries, and an AC power...

Pros: great MP3 performance, good battery life, easy navigation
Cons: horrific audio CD (CDDA) performance

I bought this player because I thought I'd get the best of both worlds: MP3 CDs for long-play mixes and audio CDs for the bulk of my CD collection. I thought about getting a hard-drive based MP3 player but didn't want to foot the bill and then not be...

Pros: cool backlit display, lots of menu-driven features, plenty of volume
Cons: problematic operation (see review); comparatively short battery life

I purchased the Mojo, along with competing models from Samsung and Panasonic, with the idea in mind that I'd return two and keep my favorite. (None of the stores offer an in-store demo model - all three stores offered a 30-day money-back guarantee.)...

Pros: Great indexing system
Cons: Slow startup, short battery life

I bought the TDK Mojo 620 as my first ever MP3 player, and I was actually pleasently surprised. The Mojo fulfilled (and still fulfills) my expectations.

It plays all of my MP3 files, it hardly ever skips a beat (When it does, it's because of...
