I'm looking for a portable DVD player, specifically so that I can burn a
bunch of MP3s onto DVD and set them up to play unattended.

Does anyone make one of these that will *shuffle* or *random* play, or even
allow me to program cuts to play? Or would I simply be better off to go
with a used laptop and WinAmp or something?

Thanks

Portable DVD player means something with a display. That almost completely
precludes it being portable in the same sense as a typical portable CD or
digital music player.

The generally accepted tool for the purpose is a portable digital music
player. A 4 GB model has about the same capacity as a DVD.

The portable DD players I'm seeing have displays in the 7-inch-ish range,
much smaller than a laptop but bigger than a minidisc player.

I'm thinking that I can burn a bunch of themed DVDs, and pick from them for
the event -- celtic, smooth jazz, swing, whatever -- instead of having to
remember to reload the music player with appropriate stuff.
