    My 25 year old AIWA stereo (AM-FM, CD, dual cassettes) finally gave up the ghost. I'm looking for an AM-FM shelf system with a built-in MP3 player which can accept a USB thumb drive loaded with MP3 files. I don't need CD capability, nor to I want to jack in an external MP3 player. I'm having a difficult time finding such a system. Any suggestions?

    I'm bumping this thread because I haven't gotten any replies in the past year. My Sansa MP3 player (5cm x 3cm) has ALL the functionality that I require (Display, Shuffle, Sort By Name, etc). I can't believe no one manufactures an AM/FM stereo receiver which can read a USB thumb drive loaded with MP3 files. I've seen them in automobiles, but not home audio. Anyone?

    I was able to find all the features that I wanted in the Sony Micro Music System With Bluetooth - CMTSBT100, for <$160. Thanks for the replies.

    A little more costly, but basically the same. Just remember to format your USB stick to FAT32 or it won't read.
