Philips EXP411 Pocket Expanium MP3-CD Player

Amazon.com More pocket-friendly than the average portable CD player, Philips's second-generation Pocket Expanium takes advantage of the tiny 3-inch (8 cm) CD-R format, playing full-quality CD tracks as well as MP3 and AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) compressed-music files. An 8 cm disc holds more than three hours of compressed music (compared with about 21 minutes of CD-quality PCM audio). Philips boasts nearly two minutes of "Magic" electronic skip protection (ESP), so the device is ready to go anywhere you do. The EXP41117 runs on a single AA battery (not included), which powers about six hours of playing time for an MP3-CD with electronic shock protection on (eight hours with ESP off). Supported bit rates are MP3: 32 to 320 kbps; AAC: less than or equal to 160 kbps. Total number of music files and albums is around 350 (with a typical file name length of 20 characters). The EXP41117 measures 3.6 by 4.7 by 1.1 inches.
