At advantages is a cheap player, with a long cable (1.90m), hot-plugable USB, well recognized under Windows XP (I have not tried other systems). At disadvantages, a very bright green LED lights continuously when plugged in, prompting to disconnect / reconnect according to needs, this is not very convenient. See it is slow very slow, and does not scan very well (accented characters instead of numbers, difficulties with dark backgrounds ...). In conclusion it is very average. It was worth the money, but no more. A small price for a specific use not too demanding.
