SpaceGhost Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Who uses CDs anymore? I bet they have 50 3.5 Floppys for 1.99 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I bought 100 packs of DVD -R's at a Best Buy Black Friday sale for the same price. I think we got about 1000 discs the last time we bought them. And really, CD-R's? I've had the same 50 pack for years....not really useful. When Best Buy has cheap BD-R's, I'll be interested.

TTQ B4U Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Who uses CDs anymore? I bet they have 50 3.5 Floppys for 1.99 too. 6 Disc in dash sounds way better than a compressed mp3 any day. Same at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Who uses CDs anymore? I bet they have 50 3.5 Floppys for 1.99 too. I do for listening to mp3s in my car. It won't read dvd-rs unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 6 Disc in dash sounds way better than a compressed mp3 any day. Same at home. Why are you compressing your MP3's so much that you can hear a difference. Either go lossless MP3 or go a super high bit rate. Plus, factory radio...seriously, you probably can't tell the difference between 128k MP3 and a CD anyway on that. CD's are a thing of the past. I couldn't even tell you if the CD player in my Avalanche still works...my Premier deck controls my iPod, and I have my Sirius. I just keep my CD's in a box because I don't want to throw them away.

MrMeanGreen Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I use them for MP3 CDs in the Ford. Company car, factory stereo, lots of driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.1cutlass Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 My deck in my car runs off of mini-sd cards. No cd's. I also have a hookup for my ipod. I have not made or used a cd in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the car, yes you can easily here the difference. I have most of my mp3's at 320 but of course some are at 256, etc. I can flip back and forth between the Aux and CD and the difference is noticeable. Does it sound good playing MP3's? Yes. But if you listen to a CD of the same song, you can tell. Inside, I have a pretty high end system of Onkyo powering OHM Paradigm Speakers and there it's noticeable. Even more so.

thorne Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 6 Disc in dash sounds way better than a compressed mp3 any day. Same at home. WRONG. Properly encoded mp3s sound fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 WRONG. Properly encoded mp3s sound fine. The only way I've found to get CD Quality is to use WAV or AIF encoding. FLAC, LAME or ALC work too. However most of what I'm downloading is either MP3 or AAC and both introduce measurable and noticeable spectra changes even when at 320kbps. Feel free to share some files you've encoded and we'll compare them on CD vs an iPod. However, the studies have been done and while I'm not a huge audiophile, I can tell the difference.
