Default tape vs cd

alright im debating whether to get a tape headunit or cd headunit for my
car

if i get a cd player, ill have to get a cd burner and cd's
if i get a tape player, i can hook up my mp3 player and itll be
cheaper

since i plan on buying subs n **** after i buy my headunit i was
wondering if it matters if u have a cd / tape unit does cd headunit
power them better or somethign?

also is the better sound id get by going the cd route rather then
hooking up my mp3 player worth the extra money its goin to cost me

Why not get a tape deck with cd changer controls?
Not following why you'd "have" to get a cd burner if you opted for the cd
headunit, I mean, your not going to burn illegally obtained music are you???

No, getting a head unit that has an aux in will be cheaper.

And better.

can u expand on that.. whats an aux lol


Auxiliary input. Many cd head units come with them. It's in the features
list. It's an input jack to hook things like mp3 players up to the radio.

Spend a few bukcs extra and get a CD Player that plays MP3s on CD. MUCH
better than ANY of those other options. You wont regret spending the extra
30 or 40 bucks...

To get good stuff, you need good money! Get a job! jk..

I just use a CD player (the $120 JVC from last year).. I have like 1
real cd, teh rest are burned... simple and effective... sounds great,
has front and rear rca jacks for the amps.. not sure why anyone would

By the way, there was a Prestige CD Player with aux in on sale at
partsexpress.com for $109 I believe. If you shop on ebay, you'll be able to
buy a better one for even less money.

With properly encoded mp3s and an aux in, there's no difference in sound.

That's because mp3's CAN BE perfectly acceptable.

Encode at 320k VBR with an encoder like Lame and you will not be able to

The fact that there will not be a decernable difference in a crap system in

reason circuit city is a viable option for so many people to build home and

That's correct. There are other reasons why "there's no difference in

to know what the best option is for HIS system.

my point was more that lumping it all as fine is very subjective and
relative to what people have come to expect out of audio repro.
I certainly see your point.

Why is it that "some people wouldn't think of such a setup"? Who cares what

I low-pass my mp3s at about 19kHz. I know very few humans who can hear
above 19kHz to any extent. In fact, my effective cutoff (threshold within
approx. 3dB) is actually slightly above average - at around 18 kHz.

There is absolutely no loss on properly encoded mp3s. None. Send me a wav
file of your choice, I'll encode it for you, and you can tell me if there's
a difference. Deal?

Improperly encoded MP3s sound the same as Cd's but arent the same. The
mp3's are not of as high quality as Cd's and it causes distortions in
your ear drums causing hearing loss.


Absurd. I read the same website that made such ridiculous claims. I wonder
why such "groundbreaking" findings haven't made an appearance in any
worthwhile peer-reviewed journals?

Obviously if you're putting
together a system for your car you dont care very much about hearing
loss though.


That's the dumbest thing that's been uttered in here for a long time. I'd
love to hear your rationale...

So do what's convenient for you. Remember that (unless
you have an ipod) that most MP3 players dont hold very many songs.


Mine holds 3000+ songs. Speak for yourself.

MP3 is an acceptable reference for audio reproduction. At high bitrates,
it is superior to CD, and indistinguishable from analog to the human ear.

Where's your proof otherwise?

All recording methods are compressed.

Redbook format for CD Audio is 44,100 Khz 16 bit PCM with a bandwidth of
20hz to 20 khz and a dynamic range of 110 db. That is equivalent to an
85 kb/s MP3 file recorded with VBR enabled on a quality encoder such as
FhG. Of course, few people use these expensive proprietary encoders, so
for comparison you'll need a 190 kb/s file recorded with VBR enabled on
the LAME or BLADE encoders. But 190 kb/s isn't even close to the
capability of MP3. I can encode MP3s as high as 320 kbps, and I am
willing to bet you that you cannot tell the difference in a double blind
test between a 128 kb/s FHG VBR MP3 file and a redbook standard CD audio
track. MP3 audio also has superior dynamic range (120 db @ 320 kb/s).

I won't even bother bringing up OGG Vorbis, which is not only aurally
superior to the proprietary MP3 format, but is Open Standard and freely
available under the GNU Public License.

Incidentally, Miles Davis or a similar performance will not bring out
the deficiencies of lossy compression. There's too little information.
You need something cacophonic, such as heavy metal, or a symphony that
moves from minuet to crescendo.

What brand and model do you use that holds 3000+ songs of high
bitrate/frequency mp3's?


OMG! You can quote! VERY GOOD!

Apples iPod comes in versions as high as 30 GB allowing you to store
7000 songs at 128 kb/s. Keep in mind that 128 IS a high bit rate. If you
encode with a quality codec like FhR, you can get CD quality at onl 85
kb/s. It's the ****ty encoders like LAME that much it up, along with the
incompetance of the average user in setting encodings respective of the
soruce materiel. MP3 goes from 8 kb/s to 640 kb/s. You can also encode
VBR, and the iPod will play these back.

http://www.ipod.com/ipod/

Then there is the Creative Nomad Zen NX

http://www.nomadworld.com/products/jukebox_zen_nx/

Also, techies have been modifying MP3 players for years - since the
first RIO players came out. There are people who have already hacked the
original iPods to accept 60 GB laptop drives.

Now, once upon a better past, I had an AMD K6-2 500 with a 20 GB hard
drive installed in my ride, and I don't usually encode MP3 at anything
less than 160 kbps on the Blade ENC. Now that I'm switching to OGG, I
can fit even more music into the same space, at a better quality than MP3.

First of all, I don't have a Jensen system. Your reading comprehension is
woefully inadequate if that's what you think I said. Secondly, I could
indeed build a better sound system with Jensen equpment than your newbie ass
could with ANY equipment. That's fact. Maybe once you learn a bit about
electronics and get a few (hundred) installations under your belt, just
maybe you'll be competent yourself. Cheers.

electronics and get a few (hundred) installations under your belt, just
maybe you'll be competent yourself. Cheers.

Why should I have to quote anything here?


That's the way USENET WORKS. rec.audio.car is a text based forum
distributed over NNTP servers on the Internet. It is not merely a web
forum you found at caraudioforums.com.

Usenet has protocols, such as "don't use html", or "don't post binaries
to non binary groups", or "always quote the message when you are replying".

If you do not quote, aside from proving your newbie status, you will
make it hard for other people to follow the conversation in the thread.

Nobody else is, yet I'm still


There are a limited few exeptions where people haven't quoted, and they
are wise enough to heed usenet protocol when they realize how threading
and message display works on newsreaders.

If I broke the rules because I didnt quote some information,
then this thread might as well be deleted because I havnt seen a single
quote from an outside source yet, but I've seen about 20 'facts' from
various people that were unquoted nor did they state any further proof.


Not on rec.audio.car. Maybe on some of the forums at caraudioforums.com,
but they are providing a gateway that displays the messages posted to
NNTP servers in HTML format.

And you don't "delete" threads on usenet. The best you can accomplish is
to cancel a post, if you have permissions to do so from your provider.

Ignore this guy, Mark. He's an ignorant troll with all the arrogance of
an elitist audiophile, and all the knowledge of a ghetto trash boom-car
punk.

Nobody else is, yet I'm still
getting flamed for thinking something was true when obviously it wasnt
because someone on here said it wasnt (with no background information
anywhere.)


Who said what about what? I don't remember what you were talking about earlier
in this thread so you will have to qoute so everyone can follow along.

Where is your proof that your assertion is anything more than an uninformed
opinion?
Or: How is it superior to CD?

there's no difference in sound.

that's not true- and the prevalence of that assertion is part of the

reason
this generation of teens thinks mp3's and computer speakers are

acceptable
references for sound reproduction


MP3 is an acceptable reference for audio reproduction. At high bitrates,
it is superior to CD, and indistinguishable from analog to the human ear.

Where's your proof otherwise?

He wasn't asking for citations; he wants you to quote the message you are
referring to in your post.
