Query: NEAR-PERFECT FAIL

Won't play home-burned cds, only commercially-recorded ones.So power-hungry the cds usually outlast a set of batteries.Slow to start up, slow to play next track and even slower skipping to next track.Sound begins to distort when volume it turned up above 1/4, by 1/2 its static.The only reason I'd buy another is to enjoy the sound of it being stepped on.
