I love my Aiwa. Had it for about 6 months now and it is awesome especially on long trips (6 hour trips play one CD with no repeats). Hi-power (45x4 max), detachable face, and it reads ID3 tags from the mp3 files. I'd rather listen to my mp3 CD's than a regular CD, because I get the name of the song and artist scrolling across the screen from the mp3's.
