Yes, I have a 6 pin plug labeled remote. Perhaps they did some modifications after the first batch. I know that when the batteries are low and I'm using a CDRW that it will skip with the lightest tap. Also, an interesting thing is that my MPTrip will no longer detect a CDRW when running off the 4.5v powersupply jack. But on 2 AA batteries, it will detect the disc just fine. Just happened recently. I am about to take it apart and poke around the insides. Or perhaps I will just get a 3v DC powersupply to run it off of instead of the 4.5v. I have read on another board where replacing it with a 3v supply will work just fine, and keep it from trying to recharge whatever batteries are in the player. Nice if all you use is alkaline.

Crosscountry Running with the MPtrip was the original reason I bought one. What better way to work out than with 11 hours of music? I even bought one of those CD-Jogging belts. But to no avail. It skipped like a 3rd grader on a sugar buzz. I have managed to hold it in my hand as I run and it usually doesn't skip. I suggest Buying a Sony Discman with G-force protection. I did and have not had problems with skipping while running. Lifting weights, and on Cardio Machines at the Gym, I am still able to use the MPtrip just fine.

Both work great! But do know that the MPtrip does not support multi-session CD's. CD-RW's have to be re-burned completely to get it to recognize the new files.

Yes, you just hit the previous button twice. Once to rewind it to the beginning of the mp3 and then again to go back one mp3.
If you press the previous button or forward button once, then hold it down, it will skip through the tracks about 10 a second, so to get to #100 takes about 10 seconds to get to.
I have had no complaints about this product, because I realize it is the first generation MP3-cd player. I have dreamed about this product since last August, and to finally hold one in my hands is almost orgasmic.
Absolutely worth the 100$ I paid from http://easybuy2000.com back in april.
There is a whole forum dedicated to MP3-CD players at MP3.com The MPtrip is produced by the same manufacturer as the Genica is. They are identical, except for the name. Here is the current thread http://bboard.mp3.com/mp3/ubb/Forum55/HTML/00112 3.html
