Component DVD/MP3 Player for $170

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-pretty-crazy dept.

JohnDonagher among many other sent this in. I still haven't had a chance to get to Circuit City to confirm this, but apparently Apex Digital is selling a component DVD/MP3/Karaoke player for $170. The model number is AD-600A, and you have to ask for it because its not being kept on the shelves. The player will play any MP3s on an ISO formatted CD, and you can use the standard CD controls, although apparently you can't scan around within tracks. MP3 CDs aren't bad. 600 megs is getting a lot closer to that 'I don't need to insert physical media' line that I'm itching for.

    There's an Ars Technica Forum discussion about these puppies here.

    Some people have been able to find them, others haven't. Some have problems, others don't, etc. etc.

    Frys in Southern California has been selling DVD players that can play mp3s for some time now. In November they had a sale on a model from RAITE for $150. That model was particularly interesting because you could include lyrics and pictures to be displayed while the song is playing! And they are proudly displayed on the sales floor - not hidden in the back.
