"So I set the tempo to 100 and laid beats on top of it and it worked??? Very strange because when I plaid the SAME song on my MP3 player and ran the Akai at 100 BPM, it wouldn't stay on time with it??? "

Mp3's are compressed, the timing might be off a tad bit in the long run.
The player might be runnin fast or slow in the long run.

Midi is the answer to sync problems, manually riding the tempo is a very handy skill indeed but babysitting a tempo is hard when you might have other things to do when performing live.
