Sony MegaStorage® CDP-CX355 300-Disc CD Changer / Player

Pros: great price with a fair amount of cool features

Cons: leaves little scratches from mechanism grabbing the edges of your discs.

The Bottom Line: A Good inexpensive 300 disc changer with some cool features - but unfortunately puts little scratches on your discs.

Review: The other review goes into great detail about the features of this machine. It IS a very cool machine. For the money nothing I know of comes close. I keep mixed cdr's in it on shuffle and love the "endless mix" I get.

The only complaint I...

Pros: Space saving on storage Ease of use Sound quality

Cons: Size, but think of the space that's been saved!

Review: One of my best hi-fi buys ever.
Before I bought this I was wandering all over the house to find CD's, now I have them all in one place.
Yes, it does take some time to change discs, but if I wanted instant access I'd have a hard drive...

Pros: Potential to organise your CD collection

Cons: Drives you mad by failing too often to play some CDs

The Bottom Line: Avoid it.

Pros: Convenient device to store and play your CDs.

Cons: Not terribly easy to figure out how to use all the features.

The Bottom Line: It does what it's meant to do, but be prepared for a steep learning curve on using all the features.

Review: In searching for a jukebox-style CD changer, I found that Sony appears to have the market cornered. It has more CD-slots and features than I'll ever need, but there really seems to be little in the way of alternatives.

If you're into...

Pros: It can be used to store 300 cd's. Even though it can't play them.

Cons: They are not heavy enough to make a good boat anchors.

Review: I bought one unit, set it up and I loved it. So I bought another for my son. Set the second unit up and it was great. Then it started having trouble OUT OF WARRANTY NOW it is skipping so bad it can not be played and now the first unit is skipping...
