Lots of decks are coming out that support MP3/WMA, and some of the higher end 
ones have a USB input on the front for memory sticks.  Any Canadian Tire, 
Wal-Mart, Future Shop, Best Buy or car audio store will have some on display.

I'm looking for something similar, but I ain't willing to pay over $100.  :-)

That also exists on the lower end units.  Check the above stores.
