The last gen Pioneer players (the DV610 and possibly
DV410) had this feature already.
You can 'rip' audio tracks from your CD to MP3 with a USB stick and select the quality of recording.

Their even older DV600 had a very handy ability to play Audio & Divx files straight off of a USB stick (and I know people who had a hard-drive running from it for movies and music)

....and yes, my experience of the 6 series is that they are superb
DVD, SACD & DVD-Audio players.

The audio is it's strong-point, especially the analogue outputs - 24bit DACs and burr browns at this price are a very good deal. ]]>Jan 9th 2009 8:34AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/09/pioneers-dv-420v-upscaling-dvd-player-somehow-makes-mp3s-sound/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/09/pioneers-dv-420v-upscaling-dvd-player-somehow-makes-mp3s-sound/Jan 9th 2009 1:36PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/09/pioneers-dv-420v-upscaling-dvd-player-somehow-makes-mp3s-sound/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/09/pioneers-dv-420v-upscaling-dvd-player-somehow-makes-mp3s-sound/Jan 9th 2009 3:35PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/09/pioneers-dv-420v-upscaling-dvd-player-somehow-makes-mp3s-sound/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/09/pioneers-dv-420v-upscaling-dvd-player-somehow-makes-mp3s-sound/(and if there's a DV420 I'd presume a DV620 is going to accompany it as the analogue output SACD & DVD-Audio playback features unit).

I'm not sure exactly what the differences between the 600 & the 610 are but I doubt there'll be a lot in it (or even a new DV620).

Still it'd be nice to have their best in the series to date, I'm sure.
These players' playback of SD DVD files (including just about all and any Divx/Xvid you care to throw at it) is little short of amazing.]]>Jan 9th 2009 4:07PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/09/pioneers-dv-420v-upscaling-dvd-player-somehow-makes-mp3s-sound/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/09/pioneers-dv-420v-upscaling-dvd-player-somehow-makes-mp3s-sound/Jan 9th 2009 5:46PM
