It was about ten years, I like its simplicity of use (cue / pitch ...) but it does not play the mp3 (as wav). This is my first CD player. May be a bit expensive but convenient. I REFERRED without hesitating the same choice.

EDIT: The gear and drape you can not read anything and the display fails to light.
EDIT: after attempting to Repair Tool, the display (which now works once in three) indicates open even if the cover is closed.
