Summary: garbage 2008-04-30
Comment: does not live up to expectations. says it can use a usb mass storage device, but i found out it has to be a flash device. sound is poor from everything i played. will not play ipod or napster. don't know about the rip feature, i didn't buy it for that. by the way, an 8gb flash drive goes for about 30-60 dollars. a 60 gb external hard drive goes for about the same. i am taking this to the construction site because i don't care what happens to it. i feel very lied to after reading the specs. would not reccomend buying off the specs.

Summary: No iPods allowed! 2008-03-27
Comment: I bought this model because of its "Direct USB" connection. Don't let that fool you. The USB in this unit only works if you let this machine record the songs from a CD onto a standard flash drive using its own software. iPods and other MP3 players don't work with it, regardless of the manufacturer's claims. Very deceptive advertising.

Summary: 2nd Philips CD player to die an untimely death 2007-10-19
Comment: My first Philips boombox (AZ2045) had amazing sound. That one died when the CD player stopped recognizing disks. I figured it was a fluke. I was mistaken. This AZ1837 died in a similar fashion but never had the same sound quality. It was, however, significantly more compact and easy to use.

Summary: Not too happy 2007-05-29
Comment: I purchased this item as a refurb and I'm so glad I didn't pay full price.
The reason I selected this unit is because it plays MP3's and WMA's, but I mostly liked the shuffle feature.
Unfortunetly, nothing seems to work properly with this unit.
1. Sound cuts out on Audio CD's
2. The shuffle mode is a waste as it cuts the end of the songs off and sometimes half of the song.
3. The volumn is good with Audo CD's, but not so good with MP3's.
I called Philips today and they told me to return it for a new unit. I had to pay the shipping ($12.00) and will not be reimbursed for it.
Although they said they'd send me a new unit, I'm sure it will be another refurb, which is OK if it works. Something tells me, based on the previous review that these problems are a manufacturer defect and not the fact that I purchased a refurbed unit.
I will update you when I recieve my new unit. Sure hope it isn't worse.

Summary: Displeased. 2007-05-25
Comment: I really liked a lot of its features as it WILL recognize folders and allow you to skip between albums very easily. But what the crap, try doing a random on it and it automatically cuts off 5 seconds of every mp3 as it jumps to the next song.
How could they be that stupid when they put the thing together?
