[SML] CD player recommendation

[Paul Schreiner]

> Our head of dance seems a bit reluctant about going with computer based playback (Qlab) and while we haven't ruled that out, we do want to purchase a new CD player (at least for backup if nothing else).
>
> Anybody have a preference for single (or possibly dual) CD players? Preferred brands or models? Brands to avoid?

I've had nothing but good experiences when I've purchased/used Numark players.

> Are the dual decks geared more for DJ work? Anybody know of a dual deck system that can start both CDs with a single button push?

They tend to have a lot of DJ-related functions, but that doesn't mean
they can't do what you want.  I don't remember if the Numarks have the
single-button start option you're looking for..
