Default best mp3 head unit?

I'm looking for a head unit for my CQ.

My sound system in my house is all MP3 based using a very slick consumer audio product that Hewitt Packard discontinued (DE100c).

I'd like a head unit that takes a single CD and supports MP3's in a logical and clear fashion.

I would really like to find a unit that has playlist support through a standard playlist like .m3u.

Anybody have any favorites?
I just put a pioneer in my sons car - it's not bad...

Thanks!

Default I'm thinking about purchasing a Kenwood X859

I understand it has a good interface and excellent quality if you're an audiophile type. I can't say much more about it but it's worth a look.
<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3021452628&category=18 798">x859</a>
there's also an <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3021128579&category=18 798">x659</a> but I prefer the volume **** instead of buttons.

Default alpine, pioneer, clairon or kenwood

alpine has best sound
pioneer looks best
clairon matches the red best
kenwood has the best software

i got a kenwood mp-919 and it changes between tracks fast as a normal cd, much faster than pioneer and slightly faster than alpine.

buy my kenwood lol

Default No Custom Programs on my Alpine CDA-7995

Great sound though. Could you burn your programs into program specific folders?
