Panasonic DVD-RV31K DVD Player, Black
Great DVD player, not so great MP3 player
This has all the bells and whistles of a decent DVD player (without progressive scan). The featured that attracted me the most was that  it could double up and serve also to play CDs with MP3 files. Having an Aiwa MP3 player in my car, I've made several mixes from my CD collection which I carry around in compact MP3 CDs. It would be nice to have a player at home that would understand the format and the RV31K does, but not without a catch.<br />So, you manage to compile the craziest mix of MP3 files into a CD and you carefully organize it into file foldes. The RV31K does not understand the hierarchy and sees the disc as a flat file system. You can't go to the 5th song in the 8th folder directly unless you know that its the n-th song in the CD. That is, you have to use the remote control to punch in the number of the song you want to access. Try remembering that when a CD can hold over 100 songs.<br />Since this was one of the first few players to have the MP3 feature, this is excusable. However, if this is something you care about, I'm sure you're better off doing a little bit of research to find a more modern player that can recognize file folders.
