Listening to an iTunes playlist of Christmas music I put together just this evening. Learned that the iMac does not like to spin a CDR, but the rest went very well. The iMac even asked for data to go to Gracenote on one CD, so it must have been obscure.
I put together a modest system in the living room earlier, using the Proton 300/301 and a Sony ES carousel CDP, but the Sony has some glitch. It kept shutting down and powering up, refusing to play more than a few seconds. It's a recent estate sale purchase, and damn it, it worked fine at the house where I bought it. I thought I was lucky when I found the pristine remote in another part of the house. I think I'm done with multiple-disc players.
