Sony MegaStorage® CDP-CX355 300-Disc CD Changer / Player

Pros: Great way to store and organize your CD Collection. Disc labeling.

Cons: All of those empty "Jewel" boxes. Display-Front Panel hard to read unless at eye-level.

The Bottom Line: Great for storage and organizing for those with large CD Collections. Optical output not worth cost of cable. Player and CDs should last forever.

Review: Sony 300 Disc Capacity CD Player - Sony Model CDP-CX355

This was just what our home needed; a device that could let us Organize, Preserve and Play Compact Discs of any Age, Era, Genre and, Condition. There were dozens of CDs scattered...

Pros: Small Size, Worth Every Penny, Holds 300 CDs, many great and unique memory and storage functions to make organization easy!

Cons: A little difficult to use without instruction manual.

Review: Each year, Santa a.k.a. my mom, has me compile a list of what I want if I was a good little boy, and the spoiled little brat inside of me always expects at least one expensive item. After thinking it over, I decided a new CD changer with larger...

Pros: 300 CD capacity, keyboard entry, relatively good value

Cons: Doesn't handle CD scratches well. Short CD text entry fields

The Bottom Line: Easy (but labor intensive) setup, nice feature set, good price make this a great unit with the caveat that it doesn't handle flawed CDs well.

Review: This is a 300-disc CD changer that comes with a fairly nice set of features for storing your collection and creating your own playlists. The unit is perfect for folks like me that have large CD collections spanning various types of music and want to...

Pros: Great for parties, set it up, it will play for hours and hours.

Cons: A larger internal memory for an internal database would be nice.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this unit to anyone who has a large collection and does not want to continuously have to change the Cds one or five at a time.

Review: Juke boxes have come a long way since those large 45rpm machines in restaurants. Anyone who has more than 5 Cds should consider one these. It has a remoter control, will play in sequential, random order or user pre-defined list. It will display the...

Pros: I love the look and concept of this machine.

Cons: The playback begin to "wow" about 2 months after purchase. Again at 4 months.

The Bottom Line: I would not purchase this product again. Two times in the shop within 4 months is ridiculous.

Review: I purchased this product from a local electronics store (Pacific Sales). For the time I had it, I only put in 5 CD's and playback was great...I just haven't had time to truly test it. The point of this review is to inform readers of Sony's warranty...

Pros: Outstanding Features, memory and search capability.

Cons: The more complex a product, the more stuff there is to malfunction...

The Bottom Line: Just be aware that when you buy a mega-storage player you may be in the shop more than you were with your single or 5-CD changer.

Review: As other reviewers have noted, this player is a great buy for the money. The many features available to the aficionado are impressive. However, ours is already going into the shop and we have owned it for less than 6 months and it has been well...

Pros: Convenient device to store and play your CDs.

Cons: Not terribly easy to figure out how to use all the features.

The Bottom Line: It does what it's meant to do, but be prepared for a steep learning curve on using all the features.

Review: In searching for a jukebox-style CD changer, I found that Sony appears to have the market cornered. It has more CD-slots and features than I'll ever need, but there really seems to be little in the way of alternatives.

If you're into...

Pros: Holds a lot of discs, easy to use group system

Cons: Too slow in shuffle mode, too large

The Bottom Line: If you need to store your cds and forget which one is which, get this.

Review: As you would expect, Sony didn't lie. This CD player does hold 300 cds. Amazing.
It's easy to figure out. It even has a handy-dandy keyboard input jack so you can label your cds with ease.
unfortunately, if you label a Coltrane cd in slot...

Pros: capacity

Cons: Skips, short labels, slow loading

Review: I bought this player with high hopes, only to return to the store two weeks later in favor of the Sony 400 disc DVD changer. This player randomly skips on clean CD's, burnt and store-bought. It also has only a short label available for each disc,...

Pros: It can be used to store 300 cd's. Even though it can't play them.

Cons: They are not heavy enough to make a good boat anchors.

Review: I bought one unit, set it up and I loved it. So I bought another for my son. Set the second unit up and it was great. Then it started having trouble OUT OF WARRANTY NOW it is skipping so bad it can not be played and now the first unit is skipping...
