with no mode setting -lrb- repeat , shuffle , etc -rrb- or shock protection , this cd player be pretty undesirable , but if you be just look for something to hold you over then this 'll do . it have all the basic feature of a cd player of course and it work alright . it could be with just mine , but every pair of headphone , new and old , that I use with it , the left begin to malfunction although when use those same headphone in another cd player or speaker , they work fine . like I say , if you just want a temporary thing then I guess this be good for you .
