I was using a dual cd player before (a
Tascam CDX-1500).
Now this one is part of my booth.
There is a big difference in the look and feel and in price of coarse.

But as cheap as it is, it's worth it's money.
plays all the mp3 cd's that i tried. But the looping is bad on mp3.
With normal audio cd's the looping is good.
Player starts direct no delays.
All controls are reacting directly so it's a fine player to use for mixing purposes.
Only the pitching is (as with most cheaper stuff) a little awkward around the 0% so i set it most of the time a few procentage above it. That's the way i'm used to do for many years (even on TT's i have a few % +)
