home jukebox at a reasonable price?

I am looking for a home 'jukebox' at a reasonable price.  Ideally it should have a touch screen and either be digital or hold CD's.  My son LOVES music but is really rough on media players, so it can't be too small or fragile.  I found a digital jukebox on one website but it costs over $5k!!  Is there anything out there that remotely resembles what I am looking for?  Does anyone have any suggestions at all?

Do you meam something that looks like a jukebox you'd find in a restaurant? If so, that's going to be very expensive and isn't something BB would carry.

 

You're better off getting a touchscreen computer and hooking it wirelessly to a home theater system, and using WMC to manage your music.

The jukebox like in a restaurant is what I priced and, yes, they are very very expensive.  I'm just looking for some solution so that he can have his music in his room but not access to the CD's (he scratches them up terribly) OR access to the computer, etc.  I will look into the touch screen option.  Thanks!

Oh, just that? Just get a shelf system and an mp3 player or burn mp3s to a CD.

You could get a ipod transfer all his music to the computer and then  put it on the ipod and get something like  a ihome. :smileyhappy:

You could get a surround sound system with a multi-disk changer.  Keep the disc changer in your bedroom (or someplace else safe) so he can't touch that part or the CDs and put the surround sound speakers throughout his room.

Nothing I post is an official statment of Best Buy or Geek Squad, it is only a helpful opinion!
