I've been using a SONY portable DVD player for the past few years without a problem... I use CD-RW discs (any make) and use Express Burn (free) - I normally make an MP3 disc, which works fine in the DVD player, but will not work in a regular CD player - for that you need to make an 'audio' cd.. The SONY has a nice screen that lists the titles of the songs - our current gig CD has about 35 5-6 minute tracks on it, with room to spare...there's a start and stop button, and I rarely have any issues with either one...I use the audio jack on the SONY into our Mackie mixer into 2 JBL EONS... decent sound, but a bit muddy for my taste... Hope this helps...
