From what I have heard the JVC SH-99 sounds like the best value.

Another option you may want to consider is getting a solid portable MP3 player and attach it as an aux. input to your HU. Sound quality won't be the best, but it is a decent temp. fix (i currently have my RioVolt MP3 CD player hooked up and its not too bad).

For you MP3 search engine q: try Grokster (be sure to eliminate the spy-ware) or Kazaam Lite.
