   so the technology is there, would you sit in front of a cd player
   watching the words of the current song scroll by the screen? I wouldn't.
   I think they should work on making the cd players that can output to
   tv more affordable. I forget their name off hand, but the Lou Reed 
   "New York" cd can play the words in about 5 languages (depending on
   what chanel the tv is set on).
