Default Stock Changer -> MP3 Jukebox?

I saw a dude selling an "MP3 Jukebox" that
is for a car; the for-sale said it was
supposed to work like a CD changer, but it
had its own remote, little display etc. The
thing has a 20GB hard drive in it and you
load it from your (entirely legal of course)
MP3 collection on your computer via USB2.

I'm wondering if any folks here have gone that
way, and if you've found any particular jukes
that mate up with the stock Monsoon head unit
and steering wheel controls (like the RND button
makes it play random shuffled, and the skip fwd/
back makes it do the right thing, etc. I'm not
especially keen on an extra green glowing gizmo
sticky-taped to my dash, I can do without the
text display, just want mega-tunes-on-tap and
no rip-up of interior (call me lazy).

Kenwood makes something like that called the music keg. I have also read about another device like it on ls1.com, but they were saying it is very poor quality. You might want to search their electronics forum for 'mp3' and you should come across it. The music keg is awesome btw.
