backup CDG player

[RandyMcCharles]

OK, I'm still seeing CDG drives for PCs. I have one that works fine with my PC. I have yet to find a CDG it cannot read.

Where I am having trouble is with playing CDGs on a player when I don't have my computer with me or as a backup to the computer if the computer is having issues. This does not happen very often, which is why I have been using a standard DVD player that supports CDG format. What I have noticed, hower, is that the player I am using does a horrible job of reading CDGs. I sometimes get noise even on brand new CDGs. On some tracks it hesitates. I even had trouble playing a DVD once. The hardware appears to be crap. So instead of buying another DVD player that supports CDG and may also be crap I thought I'd check out a CDG-only player in the hopes that it does a better job. I was hoping that Hoster users on this site who use a hardware player backup would have some insight on what a decent backup machine to recommend.
