one word. pioneer.
don't know about the blue... but not many light up only blue.
the only ones i know that do are certain panasonic's and DO NOT get a panasonic.
pioneer decks play mp3s they just don't advertise that they do. not sure why...
if you want a knob that makes things more difficult since 80% of the newer stereos are button controlled volume. if you want a knob look into the deck i have in my signature... DEH-P5200. has a knob that pushes in and out and clicks like the end of a pen which makes the knob more accessible.
quick note... standard cd's are 650 megs and hold 70 minutes of music in wav format. you can buy 700 meg cds that hold 80 minutes of music as well but they are not the standard size.
while we're on the topic of cdrs... the green dyed cd's are the best. (memorex, etc.) blue ones have the shortest data retention.
btw. ive had my pioneer for about 2-3 months now... and i've yet to hear it skip... and i'd notice. also... it was used when i purchased it. i can play cd's that are so horribly scratched both my computer drives can't even detect there is a disc in the drive. so you don't really hafta worry much about scratches unless they are huge gouges in the plastic making it impossible to play on any player.
don't get the p9200... its not worth it... the extra money is just for the flashing lights which you will get tired of real quick.
you shouldn't need to spend over 300 bucks to get a quality pioneer deck that will do everything you need it to.
