OK. The Cyberhome certainly *does* play MP3s from a DVD. Navigation is a
PITA - it doesn't seem to be able to play through directories and comes to
a
full stop at the end of a directory (album). Also my estimate of 200 hours
was a bit wild - probably more like 30-40 continuous from a single disk at
128 and up.

So, *doable* if nothing else....???



Will it play MP3s in random order? My player will only do that with
WAVs, and I have no idea why.


Yep - see:

But only in the one directory - I expect it would be OK if all the files
were in the root also.

The two main nigs with the navigation (from what I can see) is that you
can't 'prenavigate' - you have to stop the track that's playing to go back
out of the directory you are in and the lists won't scroll with just holding
the button down - you have to keep pressing the damn thing!

Certainly useful for more than a whole day's playing without
attendance/attention - like in a restaurant or summat??




Why are interfaces to these kinds of system always such utter ****e?
