Review on 🎶 Powerful Panasonic RX-D55GC-K Boombox: High Power MP3 CD AM/FM Radio Cassette Recorder with USB & Music Port Sound - 2-Way 4-Speaker (Black) by Justin Herman

Excellent boombox. I bought it for my 72 year old father who was starting to download MP3s. could you believe it He has neither an iPod nor an MP3 player. He simply puts them on his USB sticks. He said he's considering buying Bose. I told him I'd never seen a Bose with front USB ports. And I told him that if you do your research you can find other products that are equal or better than Bose for a fraction of the cost. Well I read all the great reviews on here and went ahead and bought it. And I'm glad I did. Sounds great like everyone says. You can increase the volume and the sound will not be distorted. That also has a certain weight. I think weight has a lot to do with sound quality. We were happy to only have a boombox with USB ports. But there's another CD.I. cassette in that thing! My father was very happy about it. He still has many cassettes that he recorded in the early 80s. I would like to add that I had trouble playing the songs on our flash drive as they appear on the computer, that is, in alphabetical order. The reason I wanted to know the order was to print out a list of songs for my dad. Imagine being able to burn thousands of songs onto a USB stick but have no control over the order in which they play? But I went about it wrong. Instead, I did some research and found out what playback method this model uses. It turns out they go by the type of M3U playlist. I tried to create a playlist in the media player. Forget it. Instead, as I said, I stopped manipulating the list and just printed the list in M3U format. Here are the steps I found online.1. Press Windows + R to open RUN -> type CMD -> press Enter. You will get a black screen with Command Prompt2. Change the drive to a USB stick. Let's say if your USB drive is H, type H: and press Enter3. Enter the command DIR /B /S > playlist.m3u4. Your playlist has been created. But there is a problem here. All files are prefixed with H. If you don't mind, stop here.5. To remove the drive letter, open this file with File Explorer->Open With->Notepad6. Press CTRL+H. In the search box, type H (or a drive that matches your USB drive). Leave it blank in the replacement field. Click the Replace All button. To save, press CTRL+S.7. Your file is ready. (I wasn't sure if I did step 3 correctly, so before closing CMD, I went into file explorer and checked my USB drive to make sure the Playlist.m3u file was created). Now I want to print out this list. First, I copied the M3U file from the USB stick to the "Playlists" folder in the "My Music" folder on my computer. This is the folder that Windows Media Player uses. I don't use Windows Media Player, but the program I use to print playlists looks for them there. This program is called WMP Playlist. This is a free download. Hope that helps.
