be careful with the earphone, particularly the in-ear type of ear buds ... very bad for hearing over extended time use

I found iPod music quality to be much less than CDs for my taste. I think there is also an alternate higher quality encoding scheme. iPod quality works good for the car enviroment, however. I also now have XM satellite radio, also digital, for my wife's car. It is pretty good, but on some songs I caneasily hear "smearing" and some artifacts even while driving. Relative quality levels Best, then declining - these should be thought of as ranges with some overlap... Top --------------- HD CDs "regular" CDs CD note - if the same source material (Joe X plays Vivaldi at Wembly) has two different CD versions ,a regular and a later issue "gold" or "platinum" or "specially remastered" DSP processed version for a higher price....buy the later premium version, because this usually means the first version was messed up, often very badly. XM satelite is usually better than a good cassette deck with good tape Average cassette deck, slightly mis-alinged, average tape FM radio broadcast on average radio iPod TV sound quality then way down AM broadcast still lower Short wave broadcast ************************** Learning perfect pitch - en.wikipedia.org Pitch inflation - see, Greenspan has ruined everything - (this is a more controversial topic than this article indicates) en.wikipedia.org
