Although I so believe MP3's are great, the sound quality suffers (even though I rip my own w/EAC and use a lame encoder (3.90.3 - alt. preset standard)over 7800songs 42 gigs
) Pop in a CD you still can hear a (small) difference.
It sounds like by making it easier on yourself, your starting to make it more complicated. Bringing an MP3 player in and out of the car will get you one thing. A lost MP3 player.
Another thing is an FM modulated signal downgrades the sound even more..
Why am I being so finecky? (Besides the fact that I'm a freak?) Think of this, the louder you want it the more you'll notice these things, and if you love your music.. you'll want it loud.
You know what they say, 'If it's too loud, your too old.'
