At some point I was disappointed to discover that a lot of classic rock songs that sound great on the car radio, actually sound no better or even worse on a good sound system. It seems like they were recorded specifically for playing on boomboxes and AM car radios.
You know the songs I’m talking about, the ones where you crank up the volume and pound on the steering wheel, generally 60’s and 70’s vintage. Of course new songs are recorded with earbuds in mind, so again, may not sound better on a good system. At least with earbuds, you don’t inflict your music choices on passersby, unlike the cars with 1000 watt amps in the trunk and speakers that could probably double as a propulsion system. Excuse me now as I go out to the garage to listen to California Dreamin’. Or maybe some Rolling Stones or Jefferson Airplane. Or the king of low-fi recordings, Louie Louie.

I just bought a new car that has Bose ‘premium’ audio, and it sounds like absolute crap compared to my old car which had the premium HK stock system. ... but, I’m sort of an audiophile, so most people probably won’t agree with me.

Anyone else who’s had experience with XM: does it always sound like it’s compressed, digital and low fidelity?
