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"?

It does seem somewhat dodgy given that I've never seen a 'pressed' MP3 CD for sale in the CD stores.

If you can find any MP3 CD's that have been burned with PC MP3 programs (try your mate with the Acer laptop :) , give them a try, it may be that the format is slightly different and that the player does actually support them.

Have fun,
Shay
