I just bought an Estone Ripper 110 for my car - it was like $120 or something (that's cost to the store, though). I mean, I've never heard of the brand, but these head units can rip the music off CDs, mp3 players and the radio. The higher models have a built in (removable) hard drive. This one has a SD card slot in the front that I believe is to be used for the music. It also has a CD player built in, Aux in (rear), Pre Outs (Front AND Rear), Sub-Out (can't get it to work), and it has the USB in the front (supports most players - my Creative Zen doesn't like to work on anything that doesn't have the drivers installed on it). I don't have any problems with it, really.
