Good luck with that. The Alpine setup is the best to date, hands down. I didn't go for a compatible Alpine deck because I just didn't like the appearance as much as my Clarion (personal taste, that's all). As for the iPod, you'll love it. I have two. Of course my wife now wants to get rid of her original 5GB and get a new click-wheel iPod to use the host of accessories out there for them. As for encoding with iTunes, my co-worker, a true audiophile, likes using AAC at 192bit. I wouldn't recommend converting existing MP3 to AAC, codec hopping like that can degrade the quality a little bit.

Meh, if you're gonna be all anal, buy a big iPod and rip all your songs in WAV.

Personaly, I'm in my car to drive and not fiddle around with a bunch of CDs, so when I get the $$ I'm puttin' in the Alpine setup. I will take the convenience over that small of a clarity difference any day.
BTW - How much did that Alpine setup end up costing you?sigpicComment
