The Creative CD-MP3 M100 is an Mp3-CD and CD-player that supports MP3 and WMA formats, audio CDs, and CD-R and CD-RW discs.
The M100 sports a blue backlit three-line display, headphone and line-out sockets and ID3 support. The M100 is bundled with stereo headphones, wired remote, user manual and two AA batteries. It also offers a six-present equaliser. Customisation features include toggling the backlight, intro mode, and a sleep timer. It also comes with some small but useful rubber
soles. The M100 does not come bundled with a power pack, despite sporting a DC4.5V jack. The ‘open' and ‘hold' controls located along the side of the device were difficult to manipulate. The lid, incorporating the display and controls, felt fragile, and the display does not light up when the remote is used.
Sound quality on the M100 was fair and the equaliser offered distinct alternations to music characteristics. Overall, the Creative CD-MP3 M100 is an average performer, with most problems associated with its design and build.
