Amazon.com Product Description:
The Philips MCM530 micro shelf system offers robust power and a host of great listening features in a sleek, compact package, making it a great choice for offices, kitchens, and finished basements. The system centers around the five-disc CD changer, which lets you play hours of uninterrupted music in a single setting. The CD changer also plays self-recorded CD-Rs and CD-RWs, so you can create your own soundtracks, along with MP3s recorded on a CD-R/RW. Because a single MP3-CD can hold up to 10 hours of music, adding five of them to your changer results in a staggering 50 hours of consecutive tunes--enough to satisfy even the most zealous music fan. The CD player also includes a variety of essential playback modes, including 99-track programming, repeat (one or all discs), and shuffle play.
Adding to the MCM530's value is the system's USB PC link. Simply connect the stereo to a PC via the included USB cord and you can start streaming audio directly from your laptop or desktop. The function is a great way to listen to MP3s recorded on your hard drive or enjoy Internet radio stations broadcasting from across the country. Plus, it's easy to manage your computer's audio files by installing the included MusicMatch software onto your hard drive. Listeners who want a more traditional radio outlet can opt for to activate the system's digital AM/FM tuner, which has room for up to 40 memory presets for quickly changing channels or surfing through the full dial.
The system's rich audio stems from the pair of two-way bass reflex speakers, each of which boasts a 5.25-inch woofer and 2-inch tweeter. The speakers (75 watts per channel) are also quite powerful for a shelf system, especially when teamed with Philips' Max Sound technology, which boosts both the highs and lows for a louder, cleaner overall sound. Additional features include a CD/radio alarm with a sleep timer, an auxiliary input for connecting an iPod or MP3 player, and a headphone jack.
The MCM530 measures 6.9 by 10.6 by 12.4 inches (W x H x D) while each speaker checks in at 7.1 by 10.6 by 8.7 inches. The system also carries a one-year warranty.

Like many other reviews here... the unit itself was fine (excepting the annoying time for CDs to change) and, I thought, a good value. Unfortunately, after 2 years of very light use (maybe a couple hours a month CDs/radio), ran into the same CD lock-up problem. Can't even use the radio or other inputs, since the changer is noisily trying to recover... Guess I won't be using Philips again...

I received this unit five years ago for Christmas. I have been using it at college for the past four years. Thus far, I am generally very happy with this unit.
The woofers, at about five inches, won't shake the pictures off of the wall, but definitely have a nice punch to them. The tweeters are great, very clear highs. I generally listen to a combination of jazz, hip-hop, blues, bluegrass, and classic rock. This unit seems to play the nuances of a wide range of musical genres very well. ... Read More

I didnt buy from Amazon seller, I bought slightly used one off ebay for $45 total shipped price. For the money, it beats the heck out of any new cheapo boom box.
Sound is very good for anything under $100. Radio works well, easily picks up local stations I listen to. The cd player is bit fragile and mickey mouse as others have stated, but so far it works ok. It detects, reads, and plays the mp3 files from homemade cdrs just fine.
The usb cord and software wasnt included ... Read More

Cliff notes version of this review: Annoying little piece of equipment with decent sound. Explore other options thoroughly before settling on this one.
Expanded review: We bought this product for a 2/2 900sf apartment and put it in our living area. We liked the fact that we could hook it up to our computer & play MP3s if we so desired, although we never have. We just use it to play CDs. And that's the most annoying part of this system: Once you put in a CD, you wait. And wait some more. ... Read More

This thing was OK. Too many buttons to use easily. It also came with very short cords for the speakers which hapmered how I wanted to set it up. It made alot of noise and fuss before it would give you back your CDs. It claimed to have a connection to computers/mp3, but it was for PC only, not Mac. It was cheap, but not worth it.
