I have found nothing at most of my usual haunts, but I though I'd give the audio experts at the HTF a shot at this.

I am looking to buy a CD player, as I have found, that CDs tend to sound way better on a CD player than on a DVD player. What I am looking for is a CD player that either is MP3 compatible, but preferebly has a hard drive that can be filled to the gills with Mp3s. If it could display the disc art on a TV, even better.

I was thinking of buying a second DVR with a hard drive, as then I could basically do the above (have a player to play CDs with a hard drive for the MP3's, leaving my current unit dedicated for the DVD watching/VHS transfering.

The reason for me wanting a second player is, I would like to listen to music, while editing on the DVR, which means I need a second unit.

So, to wrap up, does a CD player with a hard drive exist, and if not, are there DVD players that are better suited for playing CDs? I fully expect to pay in the $500-$1000 range.
