om...
hi recently bought the Bench unit(£33.33)....not sure if Lidl is
widespread over england...certainly loads in N.E england and
Scotland....It is a good player...a good read out of Artist and
track....but it fails to play any cd that has got any mp3's on the
root of the cd.....When i first started to compile mp3 cd's I for some
strange reason put a handfull of tracks on the root of the cd...then
others in thier directory...but this unit wont play these ones....i
have 50 cds with over 150 mp3s on them that it wont play.....what i
need to know is will the PACKARD BELL 0P3CD (which is £40 from curry's
superstores)play these cd's for me...I have rung Curry's but they know
little....and wont allow me to try b4 i buy, and say if the unit is
used i will not beable to get money back....

Thanks Michael

PACKARD BELL 0P3CD (currys)..v..Bench mp3 (lidl) help please



OK, the eBench KH 6777 I acquired yesterday most certainly *does* play MP3s
from the root (doing it right this moment). Won't look at a DVD+RW with Mp3s
on it though! In fact, I'm trying to disregard a certain amount of
'honeymoon euphoria' with this machine - atm it's appearing to be the best
spinner I've heard since Nick Gorham's NuVista (the only CDP that I've heard
to date with any real 'tone' or 'weight')!

Unless.......

........Unless Rob, that DVD (with the Johnny Cash and Norah Jones rips on
it) is from the vinyl????? - As I type, Johnny Cash (RIP) is creasing my
tits like a good 'un with a longtime favourite of mine, which I normally
listen to performed by the inimitable Nana Moussaka - 'The First Time Ever I
Saw Your Face'.....

Anyhoo, don't know about the Packard Bell, but I've been advised to steer
you toward the Apex 1100 (£30 at Currys) which will *definitely* (??) play
MP3s from the root.

(Now, how's that for a rabid 'vinylista'.....??)
