Does this play audio CDs such as for special needs students wanting to listen to books on CD at a slower reading speed?

Yes. It will slow down the voice and not distort it. It should work for your application. An adult will need to read the directions and slow the "tempo" down for the student. Howard Davol

Yes, regular audio CDs, not sure about MP3's which is an occasional format for audiobooks. And, yes, you can slow down the speed, but it will alter the sound somewhat...the voice will get deeper and more robotic sounding the slower you go.

I have not tested it for this purpose. However months after its purchase the one I got is still being used very reliably to slow down dance music when learners need to dance slower. With slow readers, it would slow the CD down to allow the text to be followed by the special needs person, and the words, like our music, would be just as clear at a slower speed. it would not be like a human teacher who could slow down or speed up quickly depending on the student's minute to minute progress, but, it would play clearly, slowly, and reliably without loss of clarity. I would think it would be beaut! Bob F. I have not tested it for this purpose.

I can slow the music down so I can play slower so I would say yes that would work for you.

Yes there is a pitch control to take the cd's faster or slower without distorting the quality of the cd

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.

Yes it will play CDs! When inserted, the laptop will choose the default player like Windows Media Player or iTunes.

I purchased as a gift for someone else. However, It will play CD's burned from a computer and I believe it plays them if coded as an MP3 file as well.

No, and I was disappointed about that. She still enjoyed it but....I wanted it to play regular cd's too. I wish the product description had included that piece of info.

It will play CDs. But in order for your daughters to see the words you have to buy an actual Karaoke CD. Does this help?

I purchased this for my wife for audio books-- it works great. I am not sure what the MP3- CD format is we buy the books on tape and it works.

No. An honestly I bought two of these and they lasted only a couple weeks and would no longer okay any CDs. And my son was not rough with them. Really poor product.

It plays CDs. It doesn't play very loudly, and the FM tuner is not very sensitive. Distortion on stations.

Yes it will play mp3 audio books.The only thing it won't do is save your place in the middle of a chapter, so you will have to skip to the beginning of the last chapter you left off at. Otherwise, as long as what you are listening to is mp3 format, you can listen to just about anything. the player also plays regular cds:) Enjoy!

it says in the description that it does. what I wonder is: does it play MP3 CDs?

Yes, The built in speakers are fine to listen to reading of the Holy Bible on CD's. This is how we use this player.Bob D.

Yes.it works great.I play music and also OTR (old time radio) programs on it. The thunb drives in the USB port eliminates the need for CD'S.

It's not a CD player, so no. The CDs you can play will depend on the CD player you use.

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.
