A lot of people felt the quality was inferior to good old vinyl (and probably still do). In fact I only recently ditched my collection of several hundred lp's, finally admitting I'd never play them again. Maybe you should try fitting a turntable in your car for even more detailed sound?? (only joking)... So I'll enjoy the freedom of mp3's and you go your way with normal CD's..... just don't start trying to play them backwards or anything.. you never know what you might hear ;)... "Also bear in mind that I work in sound engineering and have a fairly 'trained' ear" What field do you work in - I started out as an audio engineer at a 24 track recording studio???
