CD changer [I]vs.[/I] mp3 player
I bought my RX-8 with the CD changer. It worked just fine and I liked it, except that it would not display CD text info.
I resisted the mp3 format because it is "lossy" but I finally made the switch to the mp3 player and it is very nice. I encode at 192 kbps and the audio is quite satisfactory for casual listening although I archive everything in FLAC format.
The only thing I would improve on the mp3 player is that I would make its random function span directories -- well, that and make it able to read audio files from DVDs and in various formats (like FLAC), but that's not very probable.
All-in-all I am happy I traded the changer out for the mp3 player.
