From Hype to Letdown: The SMSL P20 CD Player Reality Check!

I really thought this was going to be the one. The SMSL P20 CD player looked like the perfect modern solution—compact, clean, and even capable of ripping CDs directly to digital files. On paper, it checks all the boxes. But once I actually started using it… things didn’t go quite as expected. In this video, I walk through my full experience with the P20—from first impressions and build quality to playback performance and, most importantly, the real-world CD ripping process. If you’re looking for a simple way to digitize your collection (especially for travel or rare discs), this might not go the way you think. It’s not all bad—but there’s definitely something you need to know before you consider it.
