I'd much rather have some degradation of sound quality on my MP3s than to have my CDs sound distorted. If I'm listening to music on my iPod it's for the sake of convenience and I understand that it's not going to sound as good as the CD. I don't expect it to. But I sure don't want someone to come along and ruin my CDs just to make MP3s sound better. Then everything sounds like crap. Or am I a dinosaur for even buying CDs anymore?
