CD/MP3 players for DJing?

Question

If you get a single cd player, can you still scratch? Because I read somewhere that you need two turntables to scratch, just wondering if this is the same for CD players like http://www.guitarcenter.com/Stanton-C-314-Single-CD---MP3-Player-103723904-i1166642.gc

Ok, now I know what I want/need. I need something that I can plug an outside media source (ex: ipod (mostlikely), flash drive, etc.) and play the music from there. This is fairly cheap http://www.guitarcenter.com/Numark-iDJ-Mixing-Console-for-iPod-103389516-i1156129.gc but has anyone had any experience with it. There's also the second one but people have said that it has a high rate of crashing. (I have no money for that.)
Numark Total Control DJ Software Controller looks good too, but it plugs into a laptop, which I don't have.

NOTE: I am not becoming an 'intense' DJ. I just need something that I can use at friend's parties and such. I am looking to spend up to 500.

Yes, some more details. If you ever find or know of a mixer that you can plug outside media sources into it and play from there. So now, it's not about 'scratching', just mixing.

check out americandj.com..... they sell cd players that can scratch.... but i have to tell you- the big djs are going digital- computers....all the way


edit- read the additions to your question. Do you have a power amp? if not that one you posted isnt enough. Check out this link (hope it works) it will give you the mix and has the power built in, just plug whatever you have, (ipod, etc) into it, and plug speakers to it and youre set!
