I have a backlog of some 100+ documentary/drama/comedy CDs still to rip (mostly in BBC box sets) with more being bought each month. They are quite labour intensive due to them not having artwork available to Gracenote (nor accurate disk info because it's not 'pop/rock'). So ripping a box set with - say - 11 or 8 disks can take a big chunk from an afternoon.
Waiting until i've got around to ripping new disks, to listen to them, can be a few weeks (sometimes more if i've bought a lot), so I am thinking of a cheap CD player as a 'stopgap' just for listening to new/as yet not ripped content.
I've considered Richer Sounds offerings and the best [cheap] one seems to be the Onkyo c-7030 for £179. Basically on the grounds that no-one has anything bad to say about it and it handles 'gapless' content well (an absolute 'must-have' for a lot of my BBC and Classical stuff).
Any oher ideas? £200 maximum and must handle 'gapless' content without issues.(Drama/comedy/documentary/classical/'live' concerts etc.) Must be black.
Also thinking of the Pro-ject CD Box S but, despite an excellent - 'throw in a drawer when not required' - small size, it's £299. Very tempting though.
