DVD player as a dedicated CD/mp3 player?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I realize most here are "Audiophiles", I on the other hand am NOT. In fact, at near 60 I consider myself lucky to be able to hear at all.

What I've discovered is that my Pioneer DV410-V has no problem playing CD's. I then burned a DVD disk with .mp3's, it plays all but 4 of the tunes giving "Unknown Format" for the few it fails to play.

What I would like to do is get a very inexpensive DVD player like the Sony DVPSR200P to use as a dedicated .mp3 player. The Sony unit is currently selling for $39.98 at Best Buy.

With an estimated 30 hours playing time, this seems like an excellant idea!

1. Can anyone give me a reason to NOT do it?

2. Anyone know why some selections won't play?

3. Alternatives?

Not I. DVD players handle CDs just fine.

Could be an error in the coding. Try re-ripping them. Also, what format does your computer say they're in?

You don't seem to need any.
