Not necessarily that important to me really. Most budget players play
MP3s,
VCD, etc but quality of sound is pretty important (plus must be
multi-region
with/without a remote hack).


Nice to see someone actually considering picture and sound quality for a
change!.
People seem to be obsessed only with the lowest price and what it will
play
these days

Well, it can't be that important to him if he's not even willing to spend
£100. CD quality will be lousy at that price, pure and simple.

The Maxim player I got for £25 for my dad from SkyBuy did have good image
quality though - nearly as good as my Sony player which cost over £400 a
few
years ago.



I've already spent a few quid on my main DVD player (Pioneer 656A), so I
don't want to spend too much on a DVD player for the bedroom. The reason I
want it to play half decent music is because the amp is also powering a pair
of ceiling speakers in the bathroom. I know I won't get the quality I have
elsewhere in the hous, but I'd rather spend £50 quid on a player with half
decent audio, than £40 on a player which doesn't.
