mp3 quality Lew - I don't know what mp3s you've listened to, but my mp3s (at 128k) sound terrific (on a Rio), and when re-recorded back onto CD-Rs, sound GREAT on my car stereo. I am not an audiophile, but would I'd say I'm your 'typical' music listener, and there is NO detectable quality difference to me. I think you're off base in your judgment of mp3s. I can understand pining for the more audially perfect systems (e.g. vinyl), but for practical purposes mp3s are every bit as good as standard CD recordings for consumer use. Perhaps you're experiencing mp3 with old technology? My old 350Mhz AMD, when ripping mp3s (along with the older versions of ripping software) did lead to very annoying hiccups - essentially rendering some recordings useless, I'd agree. But today's new computers and software allow for flawless ripping. Andre
