The other thing is that people made this EXACT SAME argument when CD's came out in the 80's. All the purists claimed that you could hear the difference between a sampled, discreet recording and a continuous sound wave generated on a vinyl LP.

And they were right. That's why I stick to vinyl in my Z courtesy of Phillips

Maybe back in the day when storage constraints made for very low bitrate MP3's. I play my high bitrate songs through my home stereo and I can't tell the difference.

Another big problem with those early MP3 is that it was the heyday of Napster and many of the files were not professionally encoded or the source material was really questionable (like the radio). The levels were always jacked up on those early MP3's and they were at low bitrates due to the slow internet connections available and the size of storage media. If you go to iTunes or Amazon now and buy an MP3, the sound quality is just fine.

The iPod is so much easier to use than all those cd's---which were a great improvement over all those cassette tapes I used to carry around----which were a great improvement over those 8 tracks I was thrilled to use, etc. etc. etc. but all true. How far we've come from the days of only an AM radio in my first car!

If you have USB use it . It will sound a lot better
Than using the aux cable

I haven't used the CD player once.

I just changed to a head unit that doesn't even have a CD player... Media receiver FTW!

never put a disc in yet. all ipod here. however can we also add to the discussion how many people use the aux cord or have put in the ipod controler into their systems.
I have the Bose w/o factory nav

i use the aux cord but i have been thinking about doing the controller so i dont have to mess with the ipod and can leave it in the glove box.
anyone with opinions??

Never had a CD in there either. Once the free XM ran out I started using the AUX and iPhone with Pandora. Sucks that Pandora has commercials now.
