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.

That's not totally accurate. I would have to disagree that your vinyl is not the best. What about pops and skips and repeats? Sorry, you could have a needle that was manufactured to the highest specs, cost $1k or $2k. If your vinyl had a scratch, or was not clean, or had static, you had snaps crackles and pops. And cause you turned it up loud you blew a woofer or two. No, if you had 4 8 or 12 track, you were way better off than vinyl records. 4-track was Reel to Reel and considered 'high end' and better quality than 8 track but was way better than records, 8 track was better than records and was what the consumer was able to get and 12 track was Master quality which was what records were recorded with. The thing about records was that you couldn't guarentee how long the record was going to be scratch free. Once scratched, you had to shell out another 6-8 bucks for a new copy of the record.
Sorry, but I bought records when they got scratched. Unless you lived in a vault or a museum, records were ok new but didn't take long to become unplayable. A scratch, could make it unplayable, for real audiophiles. No hard feelings, but I lived through the record era.
