There is still a place for a dedicated CD player. It will play within

what it's doing.

I'm sorry personally I don't agree. I think that in the home the CD
player is now obsolete. A small NAS holds my entire CD collection
which has been boxed up in the loft for years now, should get rid
really. Controlled by any modern mobile phone or tablet and no TV
needed at all. Far, far better in every way.

How about Brian's requirement for no audible gap or dropout between
tracks? Important for classical or prog fans....

Shouldn't be a problem these days. The Linux and RO players I use do
'gapless' OK.
