Does the music sound like the actual songs or does it sound like that cheesy music box sound?

The songs are actually CD quality. I have it hooked up to a surround system in my living room. You may have to tweak a few of the settings to get it perfect sound but overall out the box it doesn't sound crappy. My sons mother, grandmother and aunt love it.

It depends on the song some sound great and others sound like a reproduction by someone else. They are all good enough to recognize the song and sing along but not as good as the originals. We are very happy with our purchase and feel it is well worth the $300.00 we spent on it

It does but it sounds like poo on any and every station so I haven't ever used either one of the two that I bought. On the plus side I've gotten pretty good at singing all the lyrics to most top 40 songs now.

I think it sounds pretty good and would compare it to many of the sound systems of the 80s ... I get good stereo; it's dolby and digital ... I wouldn't consider this item a top of the line Audio System ... There are better sound systems around, depending on your budget ... The question is do you need a more expensive system ??? ... I have a DVD player hooked up to this and my music CDs play just fine ... The stereo and surround sound quality are pretty good especially since I hooked the satellite speakers behind the couch and the remote woofer on one side of the couch ... Visio makes more expensive systems if you are looking for more and of course, you could always by a Bose System ... My opinion is unless you are a true audiophile, this system is good enough whether you are watching an HD Movie or listening your favorite CDs ... I'm satisfied ... Hope this info is helpful?

Definitely not. I bought it for my 9-year-old and was very disappointed with its quality. Go to a music store.

Music is just background rhythmic stuff. Options to play video soft,loud,silent, only music exist. Normal is with Shaun doing moves and talking like at a group workout at the gym

Is there an updated link or answer to this question? I love the music but the music box attachment broke.

I have played a CD in the portable DV/CD. it sounds fine for me. I don't know if you might want a louder sound, I hear it mainly during the night & don't need a louder sound, that's why I got a portable one. it's what you prefer. the sound is not as loud as some people might want.

Agreed -- it sounds just like I am listening to my car's radio. It isn't awful by any means. In my opinion, if you have to go the cassette adapter route to begin with, then this is the best you will likely get.

There's a pretty good mix. You get 70's, 80's and 90's standards with some obscure bands and songs. There's also Hard Rock, Ballads and Pop. I used the random selection mode and it was weeks before I heard a repeat. To be fair, some of the songs were pretty crappy which I guess they need to include in these packages.

It sounds very similar. I would compare it to the type of sounds a xylophone makes, where a stick is hitting bars at different tones.

yes...... but it never played right. It played the same song over and over. It's not worth buy it.

I don't know for sure. It sounds good, doesn't sound like anything is missing from the music.

It's okay. I don't know that I find ANY realistic because they can be quite repetitive. It's better than some I've heard. I know that it's the definitive answer you were looking for - sorry. To be honest, I wouldn't recommend this particular sound machine because the 2 I've had had died within a few years.

The way it works isn't necessarily matching the exact beat of the music. What I believe it does, is based on how much sound it takes in during certain intervals, it decides how slow or fast to flash. So you could have a loud song with bass and it can just be constantly flashing really quick. What I recommend is playing music at a decent volume, and manually adjust the speed of the remote so it "matches" the song as best as possible. It will never match 100% correctly because it will always flash at certain speeds. I usually just keep mine at the brighest setting and never use the flash because it doesnt match very well... Still looks great!

Does it play just the melodies of these songs or the words to the tunes as well?

To answer your question, I have to open the box walker and put it to test. I found there are 4 melodies sound total. One melody play at a time when the front music button was pressed. Each time the music button press, it's play different tune melody.

Well, It does sound identical to to old one that was up from the 80's. Just a basic mellow ding dong. Not a bad sound. Hope that helps!
