4 out of 5 stars GE 29096GE1 Caller ID Box with Call Waiting & Caller ID.......2007-12-12

The item was a little larger than my previous caller ID box and was a little bit more cumbersome to get used to. Deletion was much faster than previous box. My biggest complaint is that it is battery-only operated and the information screen is always on (reducing the battery life). My previous box blanked out after a minute or so of use and ran on AC with battery back-up. All-in-all, the unit performs well.

5 out of 5 stars Simply Great........2007-11-09

This is an excellent product. Was delivered to me before time and in great condition. Great transaction.

4 out of 5 stars caller id.......2007-10-29

It works for me. I wish it had a few features my previous caller id had. This was certainly the best one I could find out there. I bought two previous ones and they were not very useful. It is hard to find caller id with call waiting without having it included with an answering machine or cordless phone. I use it with a land line phone. This model seems to be of good quality. I like the large display.

3 out of 5 stars Hard to read display.......2007-10-28

I bought this product to provide caller id functionality to an old speaker-phone that I really like. And I haven't had any problem with the basic functionality. That is, by the 2nd ring, the caller info gets displayed. It also has another benefit that I hadn't thought of when buying it: it displays the accurate date and time that get synced with each call. It's a clock that doesn't require setting.

My only complaint is that it is sometimes difficult to read the display. As others have noted, you need to basically be looking straight on to read things clearly. The angle at which the unit stands by default did not work for my setup. I had to prop up the back with a make-shift wedge in order to be able to read it from my desk chair.

3 out of 5 stars The unit works well........2007-10-18

It is a very simple unit. It works well. Records time and date of the call.

1 out of 5 stars Pricey ringtones, company not upfront about no MP3 support.......2007-12-27

I could not find anywhere in their product literature or on their web site, that the Ringboxx doesn't support custom ring-tones. It isn't until you set up this device that you make that realization. I tried creating and importing a custom mp3 ring-tone and it will not work. Also you can only purchase ring-tones from the company that makes the Ringboxx at $2 - $3 a piece!! Again, you only get this info during the setup process. The Ringboxx doesn't come with a selection of included ring-tones like a cell does. The 10 credits that came with the Ringboxx were only enough to purchase 4 ring-tones. Not nearly enough for my needs. By the time I purchase a memory card and enough ring-tones, I will have spent more than the device cost (which apparently I overpaid through Amazon at $59. The manufacturer has it on their site for $39). I LOVE the idea, but had I known the expense and limitations, I would not have bought it. I have since found out there are phones (Panasonic to name one) available with "Talking Caller ID" for slightly more than I paid for the Ringboxx. I wish I would have gotten one of those instead. If I cannot return this product, I will NOT be buying more ringtones unless they drop SUBSTANTIALLY in price (everyone else charges about 99 cents). So for now I am stuck with only 4 ring-tones. If they fix the afore mentioned issues, I would recommend it. But until then, I don't recommend this product.

1 out of 5 stars RIP OFF!.......2007-12-27

I agree with the other comment. You shouldn't have to pay two to three dollars for each additional ringtone - that you HAVE to buy from them - after buying THEIR product!! Why can't it just support MP3 files? Greedy gougers! What a disappointment!

2 out of 5 stars No custom ringtones.......2007-12-26

What isn't clear from this product's description, or the manufacturer's web site, is that you have to buy your ringtones from them, and you can only use ringtones in their limited library. I hate that. I'd like to make my own ringtones so that I can use the same ringtones for callers on my cellphone and home phone, and so I can use a snippet of my caller's voice as their custom ringtone. It is really disappointing to me that this device has all the technology to make that easily possible, but they've restricted it to ringtones they sell. I love the concept of this device, but they've ruined it.

5 out of 5 stars Musice to our ears!.......2007-09-12

Basically, I bought this product, because I'm lazy, the phone rings and I run to the phone to see who is calling (caller Id) and then decide if I want to answer it or not, with Ringboxx, I just have to listen and I know who is calling, husband, sons, family etc. Its great. What I didn't expect was that my daughter (14) mentally retarded, recognizes the phone tunes and knows who is calling too! She never has had the opportunity to use the phone and now recognizing the tunes can answer the phone for the first time ever! She is now requesting more tunes for extended family members. If you should have a child or know of a child with limited abilities - this is a great product to expand their horizons! Pass the word!

Your Entire CD Collection In Your Back Pocket.

The Same Accurate Music Data and Album Art as Apple Music Store.

Your Digital Music Backed Up and Protected.

Save Valuable Time
Ripping 100s of CDs on a home computer can take weeks, even months. Most people do not have the time, patience, or technical knowledge to suffer through such a long, tediuous endeavor. Riptopia processes thousands of CDs a day. This amazing capacity was designed for both speed and accuracy and is unparalleled in the digital music industry. Now you have access to the same professional processing used by record labels, radio stations, and online music sites. You only need to digitize your CD collection once, so do it right. Plus, Riptopia is available in three different service levels: 50 CDs, 100 CDs, and 200 CDs.

Ensure Superior Sound Quality
Riptopia ensures that your new music sounds fantastic by digitizing to higher technical standards then digital music sold online. Riptopia's Nirvana processing system was optimized for used CD collections. Created by experts in the scientific and academic fields, the Nirvana system can resurrect CDs that appear to be unplayable, turning forgotten music into rediscovered gems.

Provide Vital Album Information

Digital players allow a specific song or artist to be found in an instant--provided the album information embedded in the digital song is correct and consistant. Riptopia's CleanTag process embeds accurate music information, including vibrant album art, into the music files to simplify these searches. The process starts with a database of 70 million unique songs in 80 different languages from our partners Gracenote and Muze (The same data partners as Apple Music Store). CleanTag then combines a verification system and a team of musicologists to check the album data for accuracy and completeness. The result is easily searchable music that is accurate--important for rock and pop but critical for classical and jazz.

Back Up Your Digital Music
Riptopia delivers your new digital music library on high density data DVDs. Each DVD can hold up to 100 of your CDs. After uploading your music onto your computer, iPod, phone, or music server, the DVDs can be stored in case your digital player is misplaced or your hard drive crashes. Having the piece of mind that your digital collection is protected is a key reason for having Riptopia's professional service create your digital music archive.

Easy As 1, 2, 3
After placing your order, Amazon will send you everything you need to securely pack your CDs and ship them for processing. The CD Collection Kit includes spindles to hold your CDs along with protective padding and a pre-paid and insured shipping label. Simply load your CDs onto the spindles, seal the box and ship.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars It can even rip its own reviews.......2007-12-26

Any service that inspires 5 people who have never reviewed anything else on Amazon to write a review that sounds just like a marketing pitch must be fantastic!

5 out of 5 stars It really is 'digital bliss'.......2007-11-01

As a busy mom, business owner and active community member, the joy of listening to my music (300+ cds) had all about disappeared. The thought of buying an iPod and finding time to load a CD on it here and there seemed like an impossibility as well as a waste of time. Finding Riptopia, buying my iPod from them and having them load my CDs for me, was an invaluable investment...saving time, sanity and adding music back in to my life. The entire process was easy and I received great customer service as an iPod novice. This is a fantastic service for anyone who no longer wants to be a digital dinosaur but doesn't have the time or desire to commit to a timely process. It was super when my package arrived with my fully loaded iPod and I now feel reconnected with my music that had been absent from my life for quite a long time.

5 out of 5 stars What would I have done without Riptopia?.......2007-10-19

This service saved me literally hundreds of hours of mindnumbing work. I'm a big classical listener, and it's especially frustrating having to enter all those fields (composer, movement, artist, etc). Riptopia did it quickly and well. For the first time "Beethoven" always appears in my iTunes as a composer, not an artist. This used to drive me nuts. I'll be using Riptopia again in the near future.

5 out of 5 stars so worth it.......2007-10-06

My husband gave me an iPod last year... if not for Riptopia I would have perhaps one album downloaded from iTunes on it, and it would still be sitting in a drawer collecting dust! I have a demanding preschooler, and neither the time nor the inclination to painstakingly rip five hundred CDs to my computer before transferring stuff over to my music player.

Instead, thanks to this service I've rediscovered my love of music (what? they didn't stop writing new music after I graduated from high school?), and I take my iPod everywhere with me. Oh, and we've been able to move our stacks and stacks of CDs out of the way (the attic), plus we have a handy compact backup on DVD. I'm glad we got this done, and done right!

4 out of 5 stars Great Time Saver.......2007-10-06

This service is Fantastic! I sent them my ipod and all my CDs, and in three days I had ALL of my music loaded and ready to go, something I had been TRYING to find time to do for nearly a year. Having an ipod is great, but having an ipod with all of my 350 CDs ripped onto it is fantastic! I would recommend this service to anyone who doesn't have enough time. Why wait to listen to your music??

The phone had a static that made it unusable. Also the clock in the dark was unable to read. When the snooze depressed the light came on as a back ground light and made the time unable to read.
The unit was returned for these reasons.

2 out of 5 stars Encoding data rate may be too low for discerning listeners.......2007-12-14

As owner of a 600+ CD collection, I have been looking into ripping services in order to save time. Unfortunately, basic technical details are lacking in Riptopia's product description, namely the encoding data rate. From the mentioned "up to 100 CDs on one DVD" I conclude it's around 192 kbit/s. That may be enough when you play your music through an iPod or a Sonos, but with a hi-fi device like a Squeezebox a loss of quality is audible to discerning ears compared to the same CD encoded in lossless format (like FLAC or ALAC).

5 out of 5 stars I was clueless.......2007-10-17

Sonos ZonePlayer ZP80 Add-On Player

My husband and I bought a Sonos and were so excited until we discovered how much time it took to get all 5oo of our CD's on it. I have no idea how to rip Cd's and really do not care to learn. We shipped them all to Riptopia and we get them back so quick. Now our parties have gone up a level thanks to all our music being digital. Definitely worth it.

5 out of 5 stars Finally! A Great Idea.......2007-10-17

I have had my iPod now for a couple years and all my old CDs sitting in a drawer collecting dust. I tried Riptopia and now my collection is one! I forgot how much I loved Smash Mouth and Alanis Morssette; now I am singing my old favorites wherever I go. Riptopia seems like such a obvious idea and it worked very simply; I recommend this product to anyone who has more CDs then the time to upload.

5 out of 5 stars Big time savings.......2007-10-16

I used the Riptopia service about 6 months ago. I really saved alot of time. It was taking me 15 minutes per CD to convert to digital. They did 300 CDs in about 7 days turn around. Thank goodness.

5 out of 5 stars This ain't no iTunes collection.......2007-10-15

I feel like I came late to the digital music party, but when I do something I want to do it right. iTunes made no sense to me... I have over 500 CDs and I'm not buying them again. Ripping them at home was going to take weeks, and I was not happy with the quality of the metadata I was getting when I did a couple of tests on some older classical stuff.
Thank god for Riptopia... the speed of turnaround is one thing but the key for me was getting such high quality music back and with the right info and album artwork on it. Everything was organized and standardized so I could easily find stuff.
Running everything through a Sonos system I have re-found music I'd forgotten I owned. THis service is not for the kids... I don't know any kids who have CDs... but for us older folk with big collections, no time and a discerning palate for quality Riptopia is the only way to go.

2 out of 5 stars Everything nice except most important feature.......2007-04-02

This would have been a nice phone set, but the reception was awful! I got static sound no matter where I was in relation to the base and no matter where I put the base in the house.

The manual said to place it away from electrical objects such as microwaves and tv's. First of all, it is hard to do that nowadays. Second, I did try to move the base and little units around, but I got no change in reception quality.

Otherwise, this would have been a really great phone.

5 out of 5 stars The phone is great.......2007-03-09

After my old wireless phone finally broke down, I spent countless hours researching for a phone that was both stylish and functional (in that order). When I purchased this set I still had my doubts, but now that I've used it for almost two months, I can assure you that it is the best phone I've ever had. The style is unique and beautiful, the reception excellent, the page option is a plus, the multiple units a must, and the price extremely competitive

5 out of 5 stars Great Buy, Fast Shipping, Excellent Product!!!.......2007-03-08

I purchased this phone per the reviews I've read and trust me folks, you will not be disappointed. Crystal clear reception, easy/soft push buttons, bright orange backlight, and whole bunch of other extras to go along.
Let's not forget about the price!! I got a great deal on this 3-handset with digital answering machine and the shipping was super fast(received within 2 days), NOW THAT'S FAST!!
I'm one of those people that loves to research anything and everything out there before I buy and when I came across the reviews on this phone, I had to check it out. After reading up on it, as well as the comments being very good, I bought it and again, feel I made a wise investment.
The answering machine is great also, very loud, clear and has 3 separate mailboxes which is great for personal, business, and what-nots.
Hopefully, my review helped your thought/buying process a little more now. Good luck and BUY THIS PHONE if your in the market for a great 3-handset/digital answering machine bundle!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars This is a GREAT product.......2007-02-22

Believe or not, I have purchased two other brands' 5.8 cordless phones before but returned them less than a week. But this time I have been using it for weeks already and I will keep it. It met all my satisfactions and I gave two thumbs up. The sound quality is crystal clear and the intercom is so handy. Best of all, the built-in three mailboxes is a nice feature and my kids felt repected because they have their own mailboxes. The price is no where else you can find and it is the best especially with three handsets.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent, meets all expectations.......2007-02-21

Features work as promised. Speakerphone in handsets especially helpful
for spouse who has hearing problem. Meets the criteria we set out before
buying.

5 out of 5 stars Works Great.......2007-07-19

I read some reviews of this phone saying that it had static, but ours works great. In general you should not put cordless phones near computer, tvs, or microwaves, so that might have caused the problems. My only complaint is that the ring tones are very electronic sounding and most are very annoying. Otherwise it is a great phone/answering machine system.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful phone.......2007-05-14

I have had the phone for a week now and love it. It is a very compact nice looking phone, easy to place calls with, manual easy to understand, great reception, easy to clip on the belt. The answering machine is working wonderful, I hear the messages very clear, not need to play them again. I replaced my old 2.4 GHZ AT&T phone.

5 out of 5 stars The 3 C's "Crisp Clean Clear".......2007-03-25

I use this phone as a VOIP and it has a crisp, clean and clear sound. When I first set up the phone system I discovered if the base is to close to any electronic equipment then an echo is heard. Once I discovered this and made the necessary changes the sound has remained "Crisp, Clean and Clear!"

5 out of 5 stars Phone.......2007-02-21

Phone had all the features I was looking for and at a good price. It arrived sooner than I expected and in excellent shape. Would definitely recommend and purchase again from this seller.

2 out of 5 stars Slightly staticy.......2007-02-09

I had this phone for 3 days before sending it back. It added some very slight static to the calls. To make sure it was not my line causing it, I plugged it directly into the wall at various points around the house, and I could hear the static even when it was not plugged into the phone jack. I think some people may not hear this or be this picky, but it was not that good for outgoing quality either. People on the other end told me I sounded a bit metallic when I switched between old and new phone and let them do an A-B comparison.

5 out of 5 stars Painless.......2007-10-06

I gave my wife an iPod for her birthday. She loved it but, 6 months after she got it, we had only gotten about 20% of our CD collection into it. With work and family we were just too busy. Finally, we found Riptopia and the conversion process was completed within days. Riptopia's system removes all potential hassles. They even provide shipping containers designed for sending CD's and, when they are completed, provide you with a report and archive of your music.

While we spent some money to do something we could have done ourselves, Riptopia allowed both of us to realize the value of our iPod investment and led us to us buy other digital music players as well. I thank Riptopia everytime we go on a roadtrip and have access to our entire music collection. Were it not for their service, we would still be languishing in mid 1990s era technology and not getting full enjoyment from our music collection. It was money well spent.

4 out of 5 stars Ripped for my vacation to Europe.......2007-10-06

I had bought the 80 GB iPod a ways back which is basically the same as the new Classic. Apple 80 GB iPod Classic (Silver) I wanted to take a lot of music with me on a vacation to Europe. As is normally the case with me, I delayed for a long time trying to rip my CDs myself. I got through about 100 CDs of my 500 CD-ish collection but then heard about Riptopia. Though I don't really like spending money for things that I could do myself, I decided to bite the bullet since my vacation was coming fast. Not only did I get all my CDs ripped in time for my vacation, I got them back a few days in advance so I could even get a second iPod for my wife, loaded with our CDs. That made the trip over even better.

4 out of 5 stars Easy easy easy.......2007-10-03

I was really jazzed to find out this kind of service exists, I've been trying to con my kid into ripping my collection for years now... to no avail. Now I realize I could've taken all the money I paid my 14 year old and had this done commercially!
I bit the bullet and tried Riptopia anyway, and it was definitely worth it. The whole process was extremely fast, I had my CDs back in a week with a (finally) loaded iPod.

Sony SPP-A945 900 MHz Cordless Phone with Digital Answering Machine

Product Description

Sony is a leading manufacturer of audio, video, game, communications and information technology products for the consumer and professional markets. Sony is devoted to the celebration of life. The company creates things for every kind of imagination, products that stimulate the senses and refresh the spirit, things that are not essential, but hard to live without.Sony 900 MHz SPP-A945 cordless phone offers extended operating range with a reliable sound quality. Enjoy the convenient built-in digital answering machine with up to 18 minutes of message storage. Features also include three separate message boxes, 20-number speed dialing, time/day stamp, and voice-guided operation. The phone can be mounted on a wall.

Amazon.com Review

The Sony SPP-A945 offers exceptional voice quality from the handset and an all-digital answering machine with three mailboxes at a terrific price. The phone has no LCD screen for caller ID and uses older 900 MHz analog technology, so it is better suited for users wanting few extra features.

The APP-A945's handset has few frills, but it is wider than many other units we've tested, making it easy to hold between the ear and shoulder. The SPP-A945's functional design is also simple. Assigning numbers to the speed dial was painless. The handset has an intercom button for communicating with the base unit, and we liked being able to answer a call by simply pressing any button on the phone.

Voice quality from the handset was very clear for an analog device. However, at maximum volume, we did heard background static and an annoying echo when we talked. The phone worked very well at its medium volume setting, but those who need the loudest possible handset may find the static and echo unacceptable.

The base unit is wall mountable and contains a speakerphone along with the digital answering machine. The highlight of the answering machine is its three message boxes, which share the 18-minute total recording time. You can assign unique greetings to each mailbox, and a memo button lets you record them by talking into the base unit. You also can set the answering machine to an announce-only mode when you go on vacation, effectively preventing the machine from taking calls until it is enabled again. Unfortunately, in our tests, the voice quality of the digital recording left much to be desired, and the volume level from the answering machine was too low. Otherwise, the SPP-A945 offers good performance, and its new-unit price is comparable to that of other manufacturers' refurbished units. --T. Byrl Baker

Noisy reception. Horrible UI. Stop charging the handset after 1 year.

1 out of 5 stars This Junk from Sony???.......2002-09-16

We bought this phone and returned it three times for repairs within a year. Now the earpiece went to hell such that folks can hear what we're saying but we can't hear them. Perfect for the budding narciscist but good for little else. One Sony-authorized North American repair facility requires mailing the phone back and forth and results in a 4-week delay and a (Money) charge if the repair technicians can't detect or won't acknowledge the problem. How handy is this? I'm buying something else ... based more on customer ratings than brand-name...

1 out of 5 stars would not install.......2003-04-06

I spent 6 months off and on trying to install the adapter cards onto my Win98SE computers. Windows could never find the driver from the CD nor from the two files sent by LinkSys tech support.

I then bought the Netgear wireless MA311 cards; they installed perfectly and network is running the same day I took it out of the box.

4 out of 5 stars Networked Small Business with These.......2001-09-14

Much to the chagrin of the local computer networking company who had hoped to completely rewire the old house we bought for our office for an ethernet network, these cards work fine. We are running a 733 with windows 98, 533 with 98, and a 200 with 95. I'm going to be adding two more computers in the near future and will report back on that. No significant problems although I had to pull all of the cards from one computer because the order they were inserted in was important-- I think the winmodem in that computer was using a resource that didn't show up in the control panel.

1 out of 5 stars Linksys support is totally worthless!!.......2001-06-21

I have a Linksys Homelink network system that has now been unusable for months. When I upgraded to Windows ME, the only problem I had was with the Linksys card. Neither phone support or email support has been able to fix the problem. Email support rarely returns any messages, and if they do, all they say is they are working on the problem. I have four computers and a laptop and all were working decently on the network before upgrading to ME - not good, just decently - but what is so discouraging is the lack of support. I will NEVER buy another Linksys product!

1 out of 5 stars I couldn't have been more disappointed.......2000-07-26

Its network cards were a poor fit, each taking 5 times the normal time to install them in the machine. The LAN software only has email support, and it was slow and poor. Both machines were running Windows 98. Frequent reboots now plague both, clients often fail to find the server.

Most game programs seem to have problems using the connection. The only thing running with success are basic browsers.

Overall, a complete waste of money.

5 out of 5 stars Works great!.......2000-01-28

I installed this on two computers in about 20 minutes, one running Windows 98 Second Edition and one running Windows 2000. Setup is easy, and the sharing software is simple to configure. Highly recommended!
