  • MP3 file playback / ID3 tag display
  • +/-16% pitch control

CDs can be played back at up to 12% higher or lower, and can even be played back faster without changing the pitch for a "chipmunk" effect. Discs can be duplicated from CD to MiniDisc at up to 4x speed, and a wireless IR remote is included. The MD-CD1mkIII is an all-around pro performer!
