I'm looking for a hi fi separate that plays MP3s. I suppose ideally this would be a hard drive based system, but the only one I've found is pretty expensive.
Another option would be something that plays MP3 CDRs...... any recommendations here? I've been looking at this.
Yet another option would be something that plays MP3 DVDs.... I suppose a lot of DVD players will do this - including
this one. However, I don't want to have to have a TV plugged into my Hi Fi system, and I should imagine it'd be a real pain to trawl through an entire DVD's worth of MP3s on a little LCD screen - or would it?
I'd like to spend less than £100 if possible...... any advice gratefully received....

Most dvd players play mp3s. You usually don't flip through them on the lcd panel, but rather on the tv, with some sort of folder system.
Why you would want a hifi thing to play mp3s is beyond me, but suit yourself. You could possibly look into those media server thingies where you just have a box that you connect to the stereo and then you stream stuff from your computer...

I can't think of any, but I will watch this thread as I am contemplating something similar myself. I'll probably wind up just going for a half-decent MP3-CD deck, but a big HD unit would be nice. I'll rig it up into a slightly modified T-amp and project Hi-Fi Turntable and wind up with an awesome system for under £250.
Oh and wait for some prick to point out "You're not going to get 'hi-fi' for under £100!" ;)

He he, nowadays there are plenty of hi-fi components that shame things costing hundreds of pounds, for under £100. The afformentioned T-amp amplifier and Project turntable, for example.

Also, the ps3 will receive media served over the lan (mp3s as well as movies) and then you can send that through the optical out.. if you want something that does more than play files, that is... There are also lots of different hard-drives encased in a hifi shell that do similar things.
