Thanks for the info guys..

I did notice the LCD was pretty ugly looking when I took a quick test drive. I have an mp3 player too but I thought 6 CDs worth of mp3s would be a lot of music and if I could navigate the cds/folders easy enough it might be ok. In addition to the convenience of not having to mess with another device/aux cable.. I would think that the sound quality might be a little better playing mp3s off of a cd since the music doesn't have to go through the headphone jack/aux cable.
