Ok...first off...MP3s may sound good on little computer speakers, but they sound terrible on normal sized/car speakers. If you're after sound quality, and why in earth would you not be, stay away from mp3 stereos. If you want a new stereo, I'd go for an XM ready stereo. Satellite radio is great. Nearly one hundred channels....30 of which have no commercials. There's even a couple ALL COMEDY channels, which always have something fun on. Satellite radio is the wave of the future.
