Deep respect to all of you here!

I have been reading Axiom boards for a few months with great interest. Definitely picked up a lot of useful info about HT setup, speakers, receivers and players.

I am looking for a DVD player that can play MP3s. Well, I have one already but some important features are missing. Here is the list of features that I would like to see in an ultimate MP3-compatible DVD player:

- play DVD-MP3 disks
- support long filenames for MP3s
- support MP3 tags (optional but desirable)
- have random/shuffle MP3 playback feature
- show scrolling artist/song name on the player's front panel display (optional but VERY desirable)

My last try was Pioneer DV-578A. Very nice GUI but extremely sensitive (picky?) in terms of disk standards compliance. I had to return it.

Right now I am using Philips DVP642 and quite happy with it except for the lack of the above mentioned features.

Does one exist at all? Am I asking too much for a piece of hardware?
