I picked up one of these for $10.99 + 6% tax. http://www.audiovox.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=13004&langId=-1 That model is CE154MP but the identical unit I bought has a model # of DMP8233. Plays MP3 from CD-R or CD-RW discs and has a better display than the expensive Sony D-NF610 I have. The Sony has an AM/FM tuner I neve use and can also play ATRAC encoded music, which needs Sony's Sonic Stage software to compress/convert and burn discs- so I don't do that either. The Audiovox is cheap, rugged, simpler to use and sounds every bit as good as the Sony. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sick sense of humor?
