does your IPOD sound as good as a CD on your bike?
i get tired of hearing the same cd a few times during a ride -- thinking of buying an IPOD for the bike since i like different music on the bike than i do at the gym.... is it as clear and as loud as an off the shelf CD ?

i'm gonna keep an eye on this thread also, as i just got a nano ipod, and was wondering the same thing. it'd sure be nice to just plug the thing in and have access to a hundred cd's or so.

i've been trying to figure out how to burn a cd. i think i need to import the music first in mp3 format, then the itunes will copy it to a blank cd in my mac operating system, is that all there is to it? it would be much more convenient to do it that way, althogh it'd be nice also to use an ipod in the entertainment center, without having to use several cd's. my corvette has the 10cd box thingie in the trunk, and it would be great to use an ipod in the car so i wasn't always shuffling cd's there too.

Nope, and it never will.
iPods typically use MP3 format. MP3's players are able to hold so much music by eliminating duplicative sounds. In most, but not all, rock music the eliminated sounds aren't missed due to the loud and individualistic style of the music performed. For orchestrated sounds from bands like ELO, the Moody Blues, and other modern groups that use full orchestras, the sounds of a trombone and french horn may be the same notation but are strikingly different in character. However, to the MP3 algorithm they are the same note and one (don't know which) is removed to save digital space.
Other less invasive software packages are in the offing but have yet to hit the main stream. Currently they appeal mainly to the world of classical music lovers.

NO. The volume is limited. I figure it has something to do with the heavy gauge lead that goes from the device to the stereo. Like it just can't push it through as well as it does the smaller ear-bud leads. Maybe?

I have both. The ipod and cds in mp3 format. I think they sound good either way. You can also get a wireless fm transmitter for your ipod and put it in your pocket and it sounds pretty good. The only problem you have to find a station that doesn't have anything on it.
