first and foremost, it must play cdr/rw, which isnt much of a prob to find anymore. atleast 22 watts RMS, must have cd-text capability, 98db+ s/n ratio for cdplayer, radio data system would be nice, mp3 playback if there are any that dont lag like so many that i've heard of do, lastly the display has to scroll the cdtext, i've seen some that just show so many chars and thats it. i hope something exists that fits that. thanks for the help.
