TSGL: recommendation

[gcc]

Hi Alan.  I had a 5 disk platter years ago and hated it.  Noisy thing it 
was.  I bought a single disk Sony in '98 and it has been good to me... I can 
even adjust the volume levels on via my remote.  What I might consider is 
buying a new dvd player and use my old one - (hooking it up to my integrated 
amp).  Then I'd be able to play the mp3 files.  As I said before, my cd 
player won't play mp3 files even when I use the "data" choice of Nero to 
make the cd.  I appreciate your input.

Thanks
gcc
