Thanx Shay, That was my interpretation...however...it begs the question as to why the machine has a clearly labelled "MP3" as one of the playable formats on the console/window, the box it came in and the manual!!
My suspicion is that the proliferation of MP3s has caused some companies to flog MP3 capability as a selling point! Is it worth my while kicking up a stink (i.e. posting the name/model/brand on a number of mailing lists as it was definitely a selling point with me - considering a friend has a different brand DVD player which he assures me DOES play MP3s!!!) or chalking it down to experience, very much "Let the buyer beware"? I've already replied to NEC very saltily that I consider it false advertising... Yours, in humility, Kevin Phyland. P.S. Quite grumpy though... -----Original Message----- From: "Shay Telfer"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu Feb 07 18:10:03 PST 2002 Subject: Re: More DVD/MP3 Problems... >>Hi every1,>> >>After much mucking about with different burn formats I finally >>emailed the maker of the DVD player, NEC and received the following >>rather cryptic reply.
