interested for my 7 year old with Autism to listen to books on tape. Can he listen without headphones, speakers? Does it have a track number viewer?

Headphones are required and no AC adapter is included. It is a portable CD player the size of a CD case and about the thickness of 3 cases.

You can put a 1/8" plug (what buds use) that is connected to computer speakers where the headphones or buds usually connect to. If the computer speakers have a volume control, you adjust the loudness or do it from the player itself.

Your 7-year-old will need to use headphones, and there is a track number viewer. I love mine.Janice

Yes it does show the tracks but you must have some sort of speakers or headphones. Also - I found that it uses the batteries quickly so I bought an adapter to plug in. It is a great CD player and easy to use

He can only listen to the Sony walkman with headphones or earbuds. Walkman does not have capability for speakers so NO Speakers. Yes it does have a track number viewer. And when you stop the CD or turn it off, it starts in that exact same place when you turn it back on.

Just buy some "computer speakers" and you can plug this in with a mini cable. I purchased some Altec Lansing computer speakers from Walmart for about 25$ and they sound great.

The sansa e280 can play books on tape, but it is tricky. It took me a while to figure it out but it can be done. You have to set it up as a play list to keep the book in order. Plus before you transfer the tracks to the sansa you have to make sure that all the id v.2 tags are labeled differently because that is how sansa labels the tracks, not by the filename. I know this because that's all my wife lisens to on hers.

Yes. This is why I purchased it - I realized we still have some cassette tapes that we love (family recordings, school materials, etc.), but now way to listen to them anymore. I needed the CD player for the kids' Suzuki listening, so it seemed like a good time to purchase something with both features.

Yes, the circle at the bottom is a speaker. We have only ever used ours without headphones. Our son loves it.

It does have speakers, but they are not very loud. You can hear it turned up all the way in a quiet room but otherwise it is too soft. The speakers are also on the backside of the monitor adding to the problem.

I love this unit as compare to a few others because you can transfer WMA DRM files. Yes, it has a speaker and you CAN WEAR HEADPHONES. I use this unit for audiobooks.

Yes, but through your computer via Audacity, which is quite easy to use. If it's a tape you enjoy, you might as well save it on your computer at that point. And you can burn discs easily via Windows Media Player or Itunes. No speakers, just headphones on this unit. Can't beat the price

I haven't done songs. I like books on tape but not happy with it so don't use it for anything. Its hard to use especially on the go.

I finally purchased with cowon d2 and am very happy. I listen to audiobooks on it and it can bookmark, but play the next track after the bookmarked track (extremely important).I had the creative zen for awhile and returned it as it didn't have as many features as the d2.If you have any questions about the d2, please feel free to ask.

I have one and would not recomend it for audiobooks. The controls are poorly designed and it's impossible to fast foward and rewind in the same track.

If you just need something to listen to then it might be useful. Most of the use as been for lectures at school in my case. For your purposes, I wonder if there are programs that convert the recording into musical notes like how Dragon does dictation into written words, have one that does music sheets from the recording or shows music graphics on tghe computer from the recording.

Fussy About Clock Radios,If you are looking for an iPod that does not need headphones then I suggest looking out for an iPod Touch. As far as I know they are the only type of iPod that headphones are not a needed item, but the sound quality drops to only okay.iPod docks do have speakers. They also charge your iPod (depending on what type of dock). Some docks can even function as an alarm clock. I hope this helped.Godspeed!~SWWPD

I concur with CJ. I can't speak for DRM (I don't go near the stuff) but it definitely has good auto-resume. The resume gets my stamp of approval for audiobook listening.

I don't listen to music, just books. However, with books which are always divided into "parts" and then into chapters I can only skip from part to part not to a specific chapter. That sometimes is a little frustrating but I LOVE this little device. The sound quality is terrific!!!

Yes, you can enjoy listening to all the functions without headphones. After purchasing our unit on amazon.com we found the same unit for much less at Walmart. Enjoy!

No Joy, you don't HAVE to buy speakers for this.. but if you want to listen to the audio output you'll either need headphones or speakers + speaker cable + an amplifier.If you only want to 'rip' CDs to USB devices, you don't need either but you won't hear anything.
