DVD players don’t get too much love in the press today because they are pretty dull. The new Pioneer DV-420V, however, looks slightly more interesting than the average models being showed off at CES this year. It costs around $90.

The Pioneer DV-420V is notable as it sports a song encoding feature, letting users copy inserted audio CDs so the audio can be turned into MP3 files. These files are immediately transferred to an attached USB device. The same USB port can be used for playback of DivX Internet video and JPEG photos as well as multiple audio (WMA and AAC) and video (WMV) format files.

Other features of the DV-420V 1080p upconversion, a length of just 16.5-inches and component/S-video output. It will be available sometime this summer.
