    There is a definite time and a place for an iPod.

    I think cd's are the worst format.  You have to store them, but they don't sound a lick better than lossless digital.  I retired my cd player and ripped all my cd's at least 10 years ago, when I got my first Squeezebox.  
    And I agree Ipods are great, particularly for cars.  Bluetooth audio is fantastic in a vehicle, or even better, a little 64gb USB is the best.  It sounds 100x better than Sirius, which is just awful.  I have it and use, but I can barely listen to PJ radio because it sounds so bad.

    Though I have no means to play our vinyl or cd's, I refuse to part with them for purely sentimental reasons.

    vinyl is nothing but an overpriced money grab. you need dog hearing you tell any difference from a good ol' CD. plus, vinyl is problematic in a vehicle.

    I agree.
    Also, if you don't shell out for high quality equipment, there's no difference worth noting.
    Who has a car stereo system that is good enough to tell an MP3 from a CD?  Do adults still buy after market car stereos?  I thought that perished in the flames of Woodstock '99

    You don't need to buy a crappy looking alpine or Pioneer when you can get Bowers or Bang & Olufson in some vehicles.  And yes,  a cd is better than mp3 in that environment.

    But that's not really the argument.  It was about vinyl.  And yes you're right,  you have to shell out $ for audiophile equipment.  If you're playing a low end TT into a Sony avr and Pioneer speakers,  then you probably wouldn't heart a difference.  But if you have a good setup,  you will.

    I know a lot of wives with "turn it down" syndrome. I might even be married to one :confounded:
