battery hungry.........2007-05-31
I can't complain at all about the quality of the pictures. This is really an great camera. Unfortunately, it is disturbingly battery hungry, so if you decide to buy it, keep in mind that you will always have to carry along a couple of spare pairs of batteries. I stress always. You'll find out immediately.
Great camera!!!!.......2006-02-06
My boyfriend bought me this for my birthday last summer and i must say it is great!!! my first digital camera and i must say is ideal!! easy to use and small so you can carry it with you to parties etc and not feel as though its taking so much room in your bag! (especially compared to most camera which are bulky!) It also looks great so very trendy and is great for taking photos portraits landscapes etc, it has a flash to use in the dark, you can take short videos with it, you can zoom into pictures once youve captured them, you can download them onto your computer using the software and usb that is provided, there is a simple navigation button which allows you to not have to go through every single pic before you get to the one you want, you can easily just skip 10 or 20 and navigate to the pic or you can have a look at all your pics in a grid like view and pick which photo you want to see. there is also a menu button where you can choose which quality you want to use and the less quality the more photos you can take, t be honest if you keep the pics on the camera it doesnt matter what quality you use, its only if you wanted to download them onto pc or print them that it may not look as good so either top or 2nd quality is best.
with the camera i only could take about 5-10 photos with its own memory card which was a pain, however on amazon you can buy a 256mb xd card which will allow you to take up to 1000 plus pictures!!! which i will be buying soon as i have 128mb which takes approx 500 depending on quality.
also why it is 4 stars n not 5 is because it does not come with a amera case to keep it unscratched and clean, so you will have to buy this seperately and also you will need loads of aa batteries because 2 do not last for very long!!! not even rechargeables!!! but overall this is a very cool and compact easy to use digital camera!!! a fab present for anyone!!!

MP3 cds skip only on multisession.......2005-07-06
I too have experienced the skipping mp3 problem, however this only seems to happen on unfinalised multi-session cds. If you author a normal cd and finalise it (means you can't partially fill the cd then add more to it later) the mp3 function works fine.
As the unit works with rewritable cd's this isn't too much of a problem - I just use cd-rws, if I want to add to them I wipe the entire disk and start again rather than adding an extra session.
Works well but basic features.......2005-07-04
For the price this works well. It plays mp3 cds and normal audio cds (including cdr and cdrw) almost without a hitch.
The unit is reasonably attractive in a silver plasticy way. Apart from the track control buttons (on the surface of the top cover rather than on the edge of the unit) and lcd there is a separate stereo line out jack for connecting the unit to an amp, a hold switch, headphone jack and volume dial. There is no inline remote. The only htings included with the unit are cheap in ear headphones and a short manual.
The mp3 function is basic, there is no display of id3 info (track title, artist etc.) or subdirectory names (they are numbered 1,2,3 etc in alphabetical order) Songs in the subdirectories are played in alphabetical order (numbers first).
There is no support for m3u playlists written to the disks (which is a shame), but you can manually program a one time playlist.
Playback of just one subdirectory or all the mp3's on the disk can be specified.
One subdir, all tracks on the disk or the tracks in a one time playlist can be placed into random or repeat mode.
There is an intro mode which plays the first 10 seconds of each track to help you find a specific song, but this isn't much use, with 200 songs on a cd it could take 30 minutes to find a song this way!
I haven't had the unit long enough to gague battery life, it can charge recharable batteries when connected to a power supply (not included)
I've had one burnt cdr audio cd refuse to play after the first few tracks, the cd played in another player with occasional skips so I'd say the alba is a little more sensitive to disk errors than most.
Apart from this, with esp switched on I haven't heard it skip once. In all I'm happy with my purchase, just don't expect too much. It's perfect for audio books and mp3 mix cds as long as you don't need to find a specific song. Sound quality it good to my ears but I'm no audiophile.
Mp3 Doesn't work !.......2005-04-16
I got this today but I'll be brining it back. Normal CD's play fine but MP3's start skipping after 30 seconds and then restart. Tried various different CD's and kept the thing perfectly still but it always does the same thing.
CD and MP3 player in one.......2005-02-02
Ordered this Alba PCD604 CD & MP3 player on a Wednesday and it was in my home, post free the following Tuesday morning. Very pleased with the item. It came complete with earphones and batteries. Just had to put a MP3 cd into the machine and hey presto, all the Beatles LPs on one disk and hours of listening. This player can charge rechargeable batteries as well! I heartily recommend this as a low cost, incredibly useful gadget. It is ideal for listening to audio books (downloaded from www.audiobooksforfree.com) and would be ideal for the elderly and/or infirm for this purpose.
