iRiver and Sony's MP3-CD players (and others too) support ID tags. They
can also scan within a file. iRiver's players mostly had FM radios,
Sony's don't.
Sony has a whole lineup of MP3-CD players ranging from about $60usd to
$230usd. Unfortunately it seems that iRiver doesn't make CD players
anymore. (The iRiver iMP-250 was the absolute Ferrari of MP3-CD players,
and you can probably find one on eBay for about $25 now. :) That's a
great deal.)
