How good are the CD roms on the 6000 as audio players? I mean, I know they work as such with appropriate software, but how do they compare, with, say, a reasonable low end CD player I might by at a stereo store? Do they have 4x sampling? How sensitive are they to scratches etc? I've had CD's that would skip so as to be unlistenable on a cheap portable which played fine in a more expensive home unit.
