Second, right after posting, I started researching and searching across this forum, and I now realize that the cable issue seems to be a very delicate one, to say the least. I have formed my own oppinion by now, but to avoid flamewars, I'll just keep quiet about the matter.
I really didn't know about those kind of CD players, and I agree with what some in this thread suggested, imagination can go a long way
