Does this Tascam CD-200 player start instantly? How about when playing mp3 discs? (many players do not these days)

Yes it starts right away. I think it plays mp3 discs but I don't know for sure as I have not tried any. this was bought for my church so I only play it on occasion.

No CD player these days start instantly. Give it 4-5 seconds to read the disc.It says it plays MP3 material, even though I did not test it personally.I own this CD player, after sending back another brand/model, that got rave reviews, but did not play all my CD-Rs recorded on PC.This Tascam plays that CD-R. And it also sounds great.If you want a simple CD player that does the job without glitches, with a natural sound, this is one I would highly recommend.

If you mean just start playing no it will cue the disc and then it will start instantly on whatever song you cued up, and is very accurate as well no servo slop like most have. Check out my review, I go into great detail how I tested for this.As far as mp3 can't help you there as I only care about the CD playback and never tested it for anything but.

It starts instantly when in the hold mode and very quickly just into play but not instantly.

It's a terrible CD player. I've stopped using it because it stopped and started randomly and has no memory of where it left off. Constantly starting at beginning!!

I have never used this one to play CDs. However I owned the previous version of this player that played them without a problem. You should have no problem playing CDs with this unit. You will have to check the manual but I believe this will also play MP3 files on data CDs as well as regular audio CDS.

Extremely easy to set up. I was playing music in less than 5 minutes. Plug power cord, have your powered speakers ready and hook up via xlr to ddj. Once you plug USB to Mac and open Serato Dj, it will automatically detect the ddj, and your music library. You can start playing music right away. No configuration needed out of the box.

Have not tried MP3 CDs, just store bought CDs. Bought the player for 89 yr old mother with dementia b/c old player had terrible sound/volume. This one is great!

It plays regular CDs, but, on mine, at least, the sound for each track doesn't kick in immediately, but has a quick but noticable fade-in. Slightly annoying with songs that are supposed to start loud. I would have returned it for that reason, except it is not easy to find boomboxes for that price and sound quality that play audio-in rather than requiring an overspecialized iPod dock.

You will need to press a button or two for slowing down the tempo, not a whole lot of buttons. You will need to read the manual, it will make it much easier to operate the Tascam.

Pretty sure it only does that after first putting it in and after having it connected to a PC. However, there is an issue, this thing is slow and laggy in the menus. Sometimes it takes up to 8 seconds just to skip to the next song. I can't recommend it.

Well, I'm 5 months now with two SansaClip players. Dragging mp3 files into both of them from two different Macs, two versions of the operating system: 10.3 and 10.4. It's has worked for me, no problems. One player was left out in hard rain for two nights and I couldn't believe, it still works. I've loaded and unloaded songs on these players numerous times. Never did anything special, just drag-n-drop mp3s into the music folder. Sorry it hasn't worked so easily for others.

NO! Is a matter of fact it froze up my player for a couple of minutes and I had to reset it to factory settings just to get it back to normal. I was trying to listen to a book recorded on MP3 format. Actually, it's a picky machine and also it's a discontinued unit so good luck if it messes up on you.

Sorry to hear about the not rewinding or fast forwarding. We did notice a slightly longer delay while holding down the switch to get this feature working, (compared to other types of MP3 players) but only by an extra second or two while the song is playing. I hope yours is still under warranty and SanDisk will honor their product.

i only use standard cd-r which has about 75 min per disc so i never played mp3's but i would have to say yes because there is a mp3 symbol on the unit, again i don't use that format at all

Carol I have recorded dozens of CDs on my Mac and Windows based computers and have received many CDs from friends who recorded them using various equipment. I do not know if any used the Tascam system you referred to. But I have been able to play all but one CD in my Denon system.

Can't answer that, because I returned mine the next day. It would play one MP3 CD and then the next CD it would do an endless search without starting. I didn't even bother to try the SD card function. It is a nice looking unit and sounds good, but the quality of the key features on this player are NOT worth taking a chance on!! I paid fiftybucks for an MP3 player by memo rex...it works great!! No SD card feature though. :(

The third button on the unit is the on/pause button. Sometimes it will automatically start a cd but otherto press this button. Be careful not to press this button twice, when trying to start it to play or it will think you want to pause the recording. The unit I have only plays cds, so it does not have a slide for cd or fm. My reads Hold On or Hold Off, which I have no idea what they mean. I hope this helps.

Not really. We tried to play several CDs with MP3 files on this product. It tried to read the CDs but could not read anything. So the product we received either was defective, or the product was not design to play MP3. We returned it a few days later.

Actually it did not work properly from the very beginning. So i returned the item. I would advise that you spend the extra bucks and purchase a brand name mp3 player
