Make sure it plays *all* the media formats in a manner you like. I had a cheap Apex, it would play VCD/SVCD/DVD fine (DVD-R and +R too), and MP3s burned on CD-R and music cd. However, it would not shuffle MP3 cds, just plays tehm in alpha order based on filename. Music cds would do random fine. Wrote a quick random rename script for burning cds for that machine, but I would've rather not had to. Replaced it with a VHS/DVD combo, DVD can record to -R or -RW discs, but they won't play in any other machine, it doesn't play mp3 cds, music cds, or VCD/SVCD. Of course, total cost for both machines was about $250...
