the original MPTrip was horrid.. according to people who had got them. I have the Philips Expanium .. no ID3 tags nothing fancy. However I will get one with ID3 later when I make some more expendible cash.
As a retailer they have some problems with some people but they have got better over the months.
The other ones worth considering is Pine / Kenwood both have MP3 cdplayers. I dont remember where I saw that ad for.. maybe in the Tiger Direct Catalog.
Anyway I prefer going with name brand that looks or price.
