Bruce, one of the reasons I chose the 2900 is because it pretty much plays anything you can put on a CD or DVD disk. My previous unit was somewhat limited and I really wanted to have the capability to see photos on a CD.
I have seen some forum traffic that indicates it is a bit finicky with disks that are damaged or cscratched heavily, but that seems to be the only issue. Most often reseating the disk in the tray or simply opening/closing the tray will allow the disk to work. In any event, the issue is not a showstopper. I should have waited - you could have surprised me with one for Christmas too!!!
