Genica GN803 Tavarua Portable MP3/CD Player
Going on a road trip? Tired of changing CDs after a dozen songs or so? Genica's GN803 Tavarua portable MP3-CD player lets you convert your CD audio files to MP3 format and store up to 170 MP3-formatted songs on a single CD. The Tavarua plays MP3 files and CD audio files from CD and CD-R media. It does not read CD-RW discs, as its design requires sampling at 44.1 KHz, the standard rate for CDs. The GN803 supports ISO 9660 file formatted directories and also accommodates long file names. Bit rates between 32 and 196 Kbps are also supported, but variable bit rates are not. Be aware that this player lacks a built-in flash memory, meaning you need to transfer your MP3 files to CDs before playing them. Playback modes are limited. They include random/shuffle and repeat play, while the LCD displays only track number and elapsed time. The 50-second antiskip buffer is great for portable use, virtually eliminating irritating skips. The GN803's dynamic bass boost pumps up the bass and balances tone, offering a fairly full audio experience. It also comes with a rapid track advance that speeds through the directory to access the track you want. Headphone, microphone, and AC adapter inputs are included. The GN803 comes with an AC adapter and can run on two AA alkaline or ni-cad batteries (not supplied). A set of earphones is also supplied. Genica backs the GN803 Tavarua with a one-year parts and labor warranty.

Genica GN803 Tavarua Portable MP3/CD Player Reviews
BIG mistake. time. I commend this player for being the first, but everything else about it isn't very good.
a. Mine still works amazingly, but only because I just use it at home and never move it or even use it much. I've left non-rechargable batteries in the box while it's plugged in.
Can't skip folders ect. the stupid thing tried to recharge them and leaked battery acid (i think) all over the place. It skips a lot, if you want to find a song at the end of the CD (alphabetical)., you have to skip through all the tracks one.
at. Get a different player, there's much better ones now.
Some cds are readable and others aren't. As a conclusion, it is a very low quality product. I own one, and it has been the worst investment I have done in all my life. It takes too long to read the music files, after some use it heats up and will not work. The cover painting is not very reliable.
I bought this. and it never played a song without skipping. I would recommend the Philips player. after about 3 days it simply stopped working.
If you don't know much about mp3 and this kind of technology, stay away, but if you do, then check this baby out. If you have any brain you would know that this technology is amazing and is the future of music. It takes a little while to get the hang of it but its worth it. you have to respect this player.
But there is no portability here. Got it for xmas, so the price wasn't bad. I join the ranks of those unhappy with thi splayer. No display either - you only get to see the track numbers - no names or text at all. Folder navagation is also close to impossible.This looks like a bargain -But stay away from this one far away. My player is lucky to get 1 hours on batteries; and the random funciton on batteries is a show stopper. I'm amazed the other reviewer was gettin 3 hours on a battery. Skip protection is also none existant.
