WMA/MP3-compatible portable CD Player
Blackbeard used our newssubmit to tell us that Kenwood brings us a new product, a CD player that can play Audio, MP3 and WMA CD's. The CD's can be burned on both a CD-R and a CD-RW CD. The 160-second D.A.S.C protection should never stop the player because of vibrations:


Product Overview:

Kenwood's epoch-making DPC-MP727 portable CD player not only plays audio CDs, but also allows playback of MP3 and WMA data recorded on CD-R/RW discs. Using either the MP3 or WMA audio format, over 100 tracks can be recorded on a single disc, thus eliminating the need to change CDs and allowing hours of continuous listening enjoyment. With a 160-second D.A.S.C. plus wide capture capability, the DPC-MP727 offers superb anti-vibration performance, in addition to features such as BASS Boost for enhancement of sound quality. Kenwood is dedicated to advancing the development of both functionality and sound quality, aiming for total customer satisfaction.



If you want to have this player you will have to wait, as Kenwood hasn't released it yet.

I live in the UK and I got me a Rio Volt about a month ago seeing as they won't be out in Europe until the summer! Have to say they are DEFINITELY worth it despite the shipping costs - bought 2 of them and it worked out at £308 (for both-£154)which ain't bad compared with other MP3 players out there. £45 of that just on import tax to bring them into this country though - how harsh is that???

You get the artist name and title, and Rio occasionally release new firmware so you can download it, stick it on a CD-RW and flash the memory Smilie
