Actually Philips is one of the main reasons that so few high-end manufacturers build CD players any more.Sure, they still sell drives (through a third-party company), but anybody that knows any better tries to avoid using them. One problem is that Philips is constantly changing their models. This not only necessitates frequent product redesigns, but also leads to huge problems with replacement parts. On top of this, the firmware for these drives is apparently supplied by the third-party company rather than Philips themselves, and can be quite buggy.
