Ipod with I-trip

I tried my ipod mini with I-trip in my C32 last night.

I'm very happy with the sound (I have the Bose system). I must be going deaf - it sounds better than playing a CD.

Tried it on my SL. Sounds great. Can't tell the difference from a CD either.

Must be hearing damage from all those years of loud rock music.

I think my iPod sounds better than the disc player and I think it has to do with the EQ settings on the iPod. Maybe it sends a better mix to the stereo.

Ipod is exelent never having to remeber to take cd's to the car is great. I trip sucks here in the city though, I cant find any good frequency to set it up, they all get distorted by mayor radio stations.

I use a itrip on my ipod, however. What are you guys using to keep your ipods charged on those long drives? The itrip runs my ipod's battery dead so quick. Got some links to cig lighter chargers or something?

I picked up a charger called Powerpod from the Apple store where I bought the ipod. Works a treat. Plugs into the lighter.

Here it is.

I tried using the iTrip in the Boston area but the quality turned out to be poor.

I rna the battery down yesterday and used the car charger for about an hour and it was charged again. The cord is a bit usightly but I keep it in the glove box when not in use.
