The list of portable CD players with extensive features is virtually endless, but why should listeners pay for features they'll never use? A simple alternative is the Sony D-FJ003BLACK, a basic portable CD player with a built-in AM/FM tuner.

This unit doesn't have MP3 playback, but it can handle audio CD-R/RW. And, just because it's a bare-bones player, that doesn't mean it has to look plain; the stylish D-FJ003BLACK is also available in a very provocative pink chassis (model D-FJ003PINK), both with a round shape that keeps the player small and compact.

The D-FJ003BLACK has eight playback modes, and it sports a single-line LCD screen with seven segments to display pertinent information. It uses a pair of standard AA batteries and is not rechargeable. The AM/FM tuner has preset memory for up to 20 stations. The unit comes with decent-sounding clip headphones that are comfortable, even after hours of listening.

The appearance of the Sony D-FJ003BLACK, along with its superior performance, makes this a very wise Budget Buy.
