High Jerry, I got a Sherwood 5 disc changer for my birthday for one of my vintage stereo systems. I put a cd that was full of mp three files in it, but it wouldn't play it. So I scanned the user manual in to Open Book to find out why it wouldn't play mp three cds, it has a list of types of cds that it will play. It will play cdrs and cdrws, but it says it won't play mp three cds. I guess you have to look closely for a hi fi cd player/changer that will play mp three cds as well as all of the others which is what I plan to do. My best regards to you all! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Richer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
