I have been usuing the Numark CDN-25 dual player and so far it has worked great..but lately I have been noticing "CDR's(not all just certain brands of blank cd's) and MP3's won't play all the time on the Numark CDN-25..can anybody suggest another dual that will play both CDR's and MP3's without breaking the bank...Thanks in advance

Look at the MCD series....
510, 710, 810.

More info can be found here http://www.adjaudio.com/category.asp?category=CD_Players

I own the MCD-510. Over a year old. Good unit. Reliable. Reads everything I've thrown at it. Usually works better when I place the CDs in the tray, though.
The only feature I would like is seamless looping. For which, you would want to step up to the MCD-710.

Thanks for the info on the cd player you mentioned found the same one for $200 less new...think I will get it...once again thanks!!

No problem. Good luck!
