CD vs MP3 in car Sound Quality

Does anybody know if they improved the sound quality when using a auxiliary cord MP3 format for anjunabeats vol 9? I know that the cd compact is better for vol. 1-8. But after comparing the difference between MP3 vs compact disk is the same for volume 9. All the other volumes though compact disk sounds way better, but volume 9 sounds the same when using an auxiliary cord.
Was just wondering if this is in my head or did they actually improve the sound quality when using an auxiliary cord with a I pod in the car with anjunabeats vol. 9?

thanks

The sound quality is printed on to the finished article, there can not be an improvement using a cable. The quality all depends on sample rate, bit depth and general quality of the encoder. Chances are the mp3 versions of the previous volumes are a lower sample rate (128kb/s is still common) whereas CD's are 320kb/s, so probably just using higher quality mp3's

Obviously you bought the CD versions, but how did you get the MP3 versions?

Sounds to me like you downloaded the MP3 versions of 1-8 (fine in principle I suppose, you paid for the CD) or ripped them from the CD using software.

This is fine (morally), so no need to hide anything, as I say, you bought the CDs, it just sounds like you used bad settings when ripping the CDs or downloaded low bit-rate MP3 versions.

Thanks. and to clarify, I bought the cds and then downloaded them onto itunes and then put the tracks on my I pod and when using an auxiliary cord to the ipod in my car is what I’m talking about. It’s with both deep 3 and beats 9 that it seems to sounds better this way rather than the cd in the car does.

you can rip cds in wav format too and play them from your ipod :)
a good auxiliary cord like the ones manufactured by THX with gold plated jacks could produce better sound and less noise than cheaper ones
