Do Portable MP3 players work fine with EAC/Lame rips?

[Caanon]

Such as Ipod and the dell one?(also are there any other recommended?)

EAC= Exact Audio copy
Lame=Lame 3.92 Using variable bitrate.
I rip my CDs using this and it seems to sound/work best in winamp...but wondering if mp3 players handle it fine.

Also are there any players that are possible(hopefully easy) to hook up some how to audio in car?

Thanks for any answers...going to sleep so I wont check this for quite awhile

The iPod that I have handles my EAC/LAME rips perfectly.

You need a deck for your car which has an auxillary input.

i have an m-audio revolution soundcard, klipsch promedia 4.1 speakers, akg k240-studio monitors, akg k401 headphones, sony d66sl headphones, koss earclips, sennheiser buds, etc... over 600$ of audio stuff and ill tell you that foobar is overrated. winamp w/ mad is fine. foobar w/ resampling takes too much cpu cycle and the interface is too spartan for practical uses

saying the UI or the program lacks what you want it is ok.

proving through ABX that there's an audible difference between two players is differnent.

Over $600 in audio stuff??!!!
::bows down to elite audiophile::

~$600 of stuff = elite audiophile?

guess they don't make audiophiles like they use to. heh

You must have a Bose sarcasm meter.

Depends on the player and settings. Most new players are very tolerant, though (unlike my D-CJ01).
Old laptop + mpxplay + car stereo w/ aux in will do, as would an old desktop stuck in the trunk or under a seat. if you have some $, a VIA C3 + serial LCD display would offer a very good option, allowing you to fit the computer part near anywhere, you'd basically just have to finesse the making of a case.
...or you could get a player in the car that does MP3 CDs, or get a hard drive or CD-based player and jack it in.

sorry, i meant no contempt; i was just trying to substantiate my opinion--that the differences in pure sound quality between foobar & winamp are very very hard to detect and negligible in most cases... it was just a qualifier.... because often people go by hearsay or are affected by placebo

Or you don't have equipment sensitive enough to hear the differences

Winamp and Foobar are about even. It really depends on what you like. I prefer Foobar2000 because it is what I want: a big, uncluttered playlist. Also a few songs are painful in Winamp, which really caused the switch, but that has more to do with differing noise depending on the situation than the player (I'll have a real sound card shipping tomorrow).
Personally, I can't see spending $600 on audio equipment. Tomorrow I'll hit $150 or so, and if I need more than that, I'd go all-out and spend at least $600 just on a reciever.

aye, i actually might dump the k401 for being too revealing ..are are the sony eggos

the creators of foobar did say that its biggest advantage is in its robust architecture... not in its sound quality. logistically the resampler shouldnt increase details ... i can see how Kernal streaming would yield an increase in SQ...but its possible to do this in winamp, also.

some people are fixed to the idea that foobar sounds better...others disagree... take everything with a grain of salt

It's not so much that Kernel Streaming increases SQ, it just prevents Kmixer from lowering the SQ. I'm currious, how does one bypass the kmixer in winamp. I have been unable to find ASIO drivers for it and I don't think that kernel streaming is an actual option in Winamp.

Some people pay $50 for a 6ft RCA cable, too. Everyone has different cards (processing), different speakers/headphones, different ears, and most importantly, different brains. Even taking the Monster placebo out of the picture, everyone hears different bit and pieces, and has affinities for different sounds.
