Before I bought this Panasonic stereo system for the children were put under the microscope many similar. Finally, the decision was very easy, because the facility MP3 tracks from USB in contrast to many other noted in this price range and after restart of play there where the last playback was interrupted. ID3 text therefore folder and track names of the MP3 files will be displayed, no disturbing noises of the CD drive, or any fan, audio input jack (3.5 mm jack) and the ease of use have convinced me.
