Krafty jumped in before I could!
I also have the KDSH-99 from JVC.
It is a solid player, with some nice features and decent power (if you are using its built-in amp, not separate power amps). It has a 24-bit D/A convertor, which is higher than you'll find on most CD players, so the sound reproduction from mp3 and cd is better than most. My only gripe is that my FM sensitivity isn't so great, but it could be that I have a loose antenna connection or something.
Krafty -- you experience this with yours?
Anyway, as far as I can tell, all the cd-based mp3 decks out there work in the same way. They read ID3 tags off the CD, and put the name on the display. Narrow your list down by thinking about the features you want -- remote control, CD Text, TV Tuner for future upgrade, etc. Then see if you can try them out in a store somewhere, or if some CEGer in your area has one that you kinda like. Trust your ears for sound. If you like a particular unit, then buy it.
Take Care,
Brian
