I will play you a CD and that very track transferred from that CD to an iPod back to back, and you will notice a sound quality difference. Mainly the lack of bass from the iPod.

Do not tell me to quit using CDs and get with the modern times. I'm not going to sacrifice sound quality for ease of use. This isn't going from records to tapes or tapes to CDs. Both the sound quality AND the ease of use is there on a CD. Not on an iPod.

Shows how people simply don't care about the sound quality of what they listen to, probably as little as they care about music in general considering what passes for popular music today.

If GM was wise they'd offer a navigation system WITH a CD changer AND MP3/iPod/Pandora etc. connectivity in the Camaro.
Well if we're going to talk sound quality we might as well figure out a way to hook up a turntable in our cars. Nothing sounds better than vinyl.

It's all digital once you get past vinyl. I have a hard time telling the difference anymore between CD and MP3, mainly because I'm used to it now. I've been listening to MP3 in my car since 2010 so I don't really get a chance to break out the CDs.

For the car, I prefer convenience over sound and having my Zune wired in is much more convenient than having to dig through my CDs. Even when I had a 12 disc changer in my 2002 WS6, it wasn't enough and I'd have to change out CDs constantly.
