Well don't forget that your iPod isn't exactly providing the best sound quality. SNR is only 90db. Screw Apple. Get a Creative player. The SNR is 98db. Oh yeah, and they cost half as much. Try both the mp3 and the CD on the same PC with the same headphones, then you'll at least know that you're hearing both through the same hardware. I'm not saying that there won't still be a difference. I'm just saying that your current method of comparison is flawed. Later, Alan Quoting chthonic streams <chthonic@chthonicstreams.com>:
