Apparently most everyone likes MP3 material because you can cram a lot of information into a small area. My problem with that is the loss of the finer detail in source material. Being a "recovering high-end audiophile", I like to keep my source material as close to the original as possible. It took me years to accept the onslaught of compact discs. The loss of great vinyl LP record production facilities and the lack of a successful automobile player forced me to switch to CD’s. I am not ready to lower my standards to the current MP3 level. I can more easily accept the imperfections of the playback system versus poor source material. The better the playback system, the more obvious is the poor source material

Maybe putting CD files on a DVD has possibilities...

I feel the same way about MP3 files. When I rip my CDs onto my computer, I use the Apple Lossless Codec.

But frankly, if it's a high-quality MP3, it's gonna be fine when listened to in a VX. Our rides are so noisy anyway! I'm not complaining...I'm just saying that there's a world of difference between my truly -->high-fidelity<-- hi-fi system in my house, when compared to even the hugely upgraded sound system in my 350Z.

VXs are loud. The car stereo can be LOUDER, but it's still got a lot of competition!
