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.

This page,
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/449973-REG/Coby_DVD209_DVD_209_Ultra_C
ompactDVD_Player.html ,

specifies mp3 compatibility. Historically, Chinese players such as these
have actually supported a wider range of formats than Japanese players.

Thanks, Bob. That's the sort of thing I'm looking for, but it does,
however, specify that it will play "MP3 files recorded on to CD-Rs or
CD-RWs", and doesn't mention MP3s on DVD at all. I suspect that I'm going
to have to gather my courage in both hands and brave the big box store armed
with a DVD full of MP3s and see what happens.

What I'm trying to do is stick some sort of low-priced media into a
moderately-priced player, press Random or Shuffle Play or something, and
walk away for a few hours.

Have I ever mentioned how much it irks me to look for a specific feature on
a gadget, and have the manufacturers' specs dance all around what I want to
know. Does it do A with B? "Our gadget does A, and has compatibility with
B." Sheesh!

Not griping at you, Bob, just whining in general. Complain, complain,
complain, oh my life is so hard, etc., etc., etc.. :-)

Okay I found one, the Sony MPD-AP20U, and have seen a manual that
confirms its ability to play mp3s from dvd. The bad news is that it's
not available (probably long out of production). It's a portable dvd
drive, maybe that's a product category you can explore.
