t-man Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 I'm aware of all the portable MP3 CD players out there, but I want something for my home stereo. I don't need a DVD player, but just a basic CD player that can read MP3 CDs burned on my computer. CD text would also be a great plus, and some sort of navigation system would be cool, especially if it were on-screen. Is there such a thing? What would any of you recommend?

BigBusa Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 Why not get a DVD/CD player that capable of playing mp3s on cdr and cdrw playback? That would cover all your bases. You may want the dvd player in the future. Kenwood dv503 may not be audiophile quaility but it appears to have everything and more that you're seeking. ------------------ Ubid customer service SUX.

t-man Posted October 30, 2001 Author Share Posted October 30, 2001 Bigbusa, I don't want to pay for DVD capability, and would rather spend that money on better audio capability and features. It's for a dedicated 2 channel stereo area. I'll check into that Kenwood. Thanks.

Prana-Bindu Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 t-man: are you sure you want to invest in MP3 for your home 2-channel rig? After all, it's lossy compression. Perhaps get something that includes the ability to play MP3's off of a cd-r? If you like to play cd's or mp3's in your car, perhaps there is a product out there that copies cd's and can also play mp3's off of the cd-r? Otherwise, you'd probably be looking at a unit that's basically a big hard drive with a user interface within which you can store MP3 files. Expensive and subject to becoming outdated as compression formats change. I say go for the combo unit. ------------------ May the bridges we burn light our way....

KLIPSCHHOG Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 If your looking for something to play mp-3's why not look at some of the newer panasonic dvd/cd/mp-3/dvd audio I play everything! units I believe they retail for @$300-350 I can't remember the model #'s right now but I know they are out there. The only thing that they are missing (until a new format comes along) is sacd. ------------------ LSU PAINTBALL- We'll cover you with our balls!

synthfreek Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 Why not just use a shareware program available just about anywhere on the net to convert your mp3 files to wav files then burn 'em to CD-R? It's free. The only drawback is you will not be able to fit as many tracks because of the extra space wavs take up. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
