After trying a test listen in truck it appears as though the hi end is dulled compared to the CD version.I can't remember what songs i used with what encoders but i know i used a program called FREERIP encoded at 256CBR and also Easy CD Creator that came with the burner,also encoded at 256CBR.The Easy CD Creator used the FHG Professional dont know what the FREERIP used.Would i get better results with Audiograbber w/Lame because i have that too.Just means ill have to redo all my cd's(only 70) MIKE
