How does a good mp3 sound?


Has anyone compare the sound of a good MP3 player like creative zen 20gb mp3 player with a cd player?

Is that te best sounding unit now, or is there better?

Is there less jitter than a cd player?

How is the quality compare to a computer with a good soundcard?

Short answer: bad

Given that the encoding process reduces the information content by 90%, mp3's can't help to be horrible. Anybody who can't hear the difference better sell heir HiFi and get a Bose WaveRadio.

If you get an iPod you can use it to play cd-quality
audiofiles. That is if you use a mac and iTunes.
Don't know if that works with Windows.
