This is a stupid question but still.

I have a 2009 Z so that means that I don't have ipod plugin, no dvd, no fancy touchscreen, no HDD and so on.

I only have mah 6 slot CD reader and AUX input.

now I have been tired of always switching cds and burning new ones so I have decided to start using my 5th gen Ipod Nano.

all good and well. but I have noticed that my music is alot quieter compared to my CDs, say I play a song on a CD, loud bass and all putting the system on full blast is kinda overdoing it. but when I play the exact same song, exact same file through my ipod and its almost half the loudness.

so what could be causing this? is it just that AUX sucks or do I need to change the equalizer?

I am not an audio guy so I have no idea.

though I also had the same experience kinda with my headphone, I used to use earbuds with that ipod but a couple of months ago I bought a sennheiser HD205 headset and I noticed that the thing plays alot quieter too.
