It'll play your home-recorded CD-Rs and CD-RWs, along with your precorded discs. With MP3 playback capability, you can store 12 of your MP3-loaded CDs in this versatile changer — at 10 hours of music per disc, that's enough music to cover a 5-day trip! The compact CH-X1500 mounts at 5 different angles for easy installation, and JVC's single-cable connection simplifies hookup. The full-floating, shock-proof chassis virtually eliminates skipping on rough roads.

Miller, Golden, CO on Thursday, January 22, 2009 This CD changed has been everything that I expected. I live on a very long and bumpy dirt road and this changer never skips a beat. Even the time it takes to switch between CDs is quick and silent. It even does a great job of going from a regular CD to a CD-R with MP3s on it without a hitch. I would highly recommend this changer! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 great changer Written By Mitch, Atlanta, GA on Friday, December 12, 2008 I bought this CD changer and it has been flawless. Very easy to install too. Just one cable to connect from the changer to my JVC head unit. I snaked & hid it along the floor boards of my 2003 VW Passat and I was in business in no time. Mounted it in the trunk area with included brackets and I was up & running in about 30 mins from start to finish. An excellent addition to my system. It seems to be the one changer on the market that allows the most CDs as well (12 discs). All controls are easily accessible through my JVC head unit too. Regular and mp3 CDs will allow for endless entertainment while on the road. Very worthwhile investment for my car stereo. Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 THE BEST CHANGER AVAILABLE Written By Dennis, NEW HAMPSHIRE on Monday, August 07, 2006 If you have a JVC head unit with cd changer capability, or are contemplating a head unit purchase, go with JVC. Why, because then you can use this cd changer directly (RF stinks). You can even add XM now if your head unit supports it and multiplex it on the changer's cable. Anyway, 12 disc player that supports MP3s, how can you beat that? 11 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Awesome!

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent Product Written By Joe, Hauppauge, New York on Thursday, December 08, 2005 This changer is excellent. I've never had any skipping nor any problems whatsoever. Unfortunately the people at best buy were lazy and didn't take the time to install a different face plate for my car, so I had to have the receiver for the unit placed within my car. I only had problems because the 99 taurus has an ovaline faceplate. Had the installers told me I would have boughtthe face plate, which would have gone right to the radio, but lkike i said they were lazy and did things the cheap way. Overall an outstanding product. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
