I think Santa is going to bring me a new car radio (yaay!), but which one should I ask for?

I really want one that will play MP3s direct from a USB stick and display the folders (albums, that is. Call me old-fashioned). I don't care if it has a CD player or not, but I suppose they all do. I don't need to play from an ipod or phone either.

Any ideas? I've trawled the web but it's pretty confusing. :)

Lots do that these days.
I bought a Pioneer something or another just under a year ago, can't recll model but I could fish it out if interested, it cost me £70 or so, and I think it's great. I bought a couple of very small usb sticks, 16Gb, they protrude only about 5mm so they can be left on when removing the fascia and it fits in the case... If you buy these sticks, do NOT get the Lacie MosKeyto keys. I have had two fail within months and it seems it's relatively common. I bought another brand I cannot recall (in the car right now) and had no trouble.

I got a Pioneer one last year from here http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=DEH2320UB
Have an 8gb USB key and it's very handy. Good to have the standard auxilary audio input at the front aswell so you can play any portable device.

Went for this one - great price @ €59. Good sound too, but can't for the life of me work out how to browse the folders. Any idea?
