That JVC model is newish, and is supposed to be very good for video. The RP56 is discontinued and is also very good for video, exhibits slightly less "standard" video glitches than the JVC under testing conditions, but the JVC is supposedly excellent in actual use. The replacement for the RP56 is the RP62 (or RP82 with DVD-A) which should be as video glitch-free as the RP56.
However, I have noticed that the "best" players for DVD's are not the best players for music. For instance, of what I have listened to, I think some Pioneers and Denons are definitely better. Maybe check out the Denon 1600 for RP56 quality video and decent quality audio, if you care about video for your MP3 player.
The cheap Apex 1500 I have has worked flawlessly. This brand is built to a fairly low quality standard, but it does lots, and is possibly best viewed as disposable/short-term. It's S-video output with DVD's is actually quite good. It's fine for MP3 music too, even better with an external DAC. A good brand for "fooling around" with. Protections are in firmware, so easily hacked without dirtying your hands.
I guess what I'm saying is: pick a good DVDP for its video capability, pick something functional for the MP3's (probably the same machine), you already have a good CDP for serious music listening.
