Welcome aboard Big D.
Firstly, most people who are into this seriously, plug thru a mixing board/amp with microphone inputs. The player works okay, but it's honestly not built for it. It'll work, but certainly not professional.
Secondly, copying someone on audio/video data for entertainment purposes is STILL frowned on (against copyright) by the manufacturers. Doubt you'll find many people that will stand up and shout to the heavens, "HECK YES I DO!"
Thirdly, please type in lowercase... in bboard lingo, CAPITAL LETTERS is paramount to shouting!
as far as good quality core, you'll find we vary vastly in our opinions!!
