I'm curious about who sounds better...

I loaded music on the jump drive and iPod 2 different ways. First I burned a few directly from a cd. Next, I exported some from some mp3 files I have downloaded. The sound quality is pretty much the same. The only noticable difference is the cd's seem to have a little more bass to them. With that being said, the iPod and the jump drive sound identical to me. Conclusion....the jump drive or an external hard drive seem to be the way to go. I also tried to view some photos but the iPod defaults to audio and you can only control the iPod via the iDrive. I tried to use the iPod to get to photos but no joy. Hope this info helps gang.......Phil
