I don't listen to music while driving my C5 - if it's loud enough for me to hear the quiet passages over the tire and exhaust noise, the loud passages blast my ears out. Maybe if I drove at 55 or something equally radical, it would be quieter......besides I like to be 100% concentrated on driving my cars, not fiddling with tech, aka distracted driving.

Although it is true that CD's can sound much better than downloaded mp3's, downloaded music can sound equally as good, also. If you have a CD collection you can rip it to your hard drive in lossless format retaining all the digital quality of the original recording. The original MP3 format was developed to compress a lot of music on to not very much space. This was back when memory was at a premium and fitting a ton of songs on one CD or a small jump drive was the goal, sacrificing the musical quality by compressing the files. I have my 10,000 song collection of CD's ripped to my hard drive and burned to a jump drive that resides in my console plugged into my Pioneer Avic-7200 and have access to that music in lossless format or original CD quality at my fingertips, thereby completely antiquiating a CD changer. What a prehistoric device! To not take advantage of technology this way is silly, same as if you bought a newer generation vette to take advantage of what it has to offer if you can afford it. Just my .02.
I kept the bose speakers, and I don't see any difference in sound if I am hearing music from my flash drive, or the cd.
They both sound equally good..
One isn't better than the other.

I've done the same thing. Loaded all my music on a flash drive and have about 10,000 miles worth of music on there right now.
