Really? The Amazon product description says: "it's a tech-savvy player that spins your MP3- and JPEG-encoded recordable CDs" which makes it sound like it only plays mp3 from cd-r. Also, when you say it's not an audiophile-quality source, what does that mean exactly? I'm expecting it's not as good as a Marantz or something, but will it be better than most pcdps?

It can read DVD-R and CD-R with MP3, JPEG, AVI, MPEGS, etc. I bought one a long time ago and even my version has no problem with them. Unless the newer 642's are different, it should pose no problems. This thing is almost like a CD-ROM drive.
It should sound fine. Nevermind my earlier comment. If you're going to be playing MP3's then you shouldn't expect audiophile level sound anyway.

Thanks for the help so far. Just one more question - how much information can you read on the display. Just track numbers, or will it display folder/track titles also?
