MP3 sounds like crap, that's why the engineers didn't include it with the TL audio system. I've used MP3 in my home system, and it sounds about like bad FM radio....I've even tried ripping at higher bitrates, but it still sounds dead with no "life" ....OK for portable use with iPod etc, but really not exactly high-fidelity sound

Reason for Tape Player - Books on Tape
Use it all the time. Works quite well. I know you can get books on CDs, but if you rent or go to the library most of what they have is on tape.

caball88...you probably won't believe this, but years ago I made a lot of tapes using a Nakamichi Cassette Recorder. I used vinyl albums(mint condition), played on a LynnSondek turntable with a Kiseke Moving Coil Cartridge and good tone arm. These tapes sat in a closet for years until I got my TL. Just for fun, I pulled them out and started playing tapes I haven't heard for years. What a shock! They actually sounded pretty good...much better than FM or MP3, and almost as good as most CD's, but not DVD-A. I think most people judge tapes from listening to pre-recorded stuff, where they duplicate at high speed, on junk tape...with results that sound terrible. I never thought that these old tapes would sound so good. It was quite a suprise and now I've got hours of new (old) music to listen in my car.

I have burned MP3s to CD so that I could listen to them in the TL. The sound is superior to FM, and far superior to the overly compressed XM stream.
I do NOT believe the designers of the system excluded MP3 because of audio fidelity or quality. If this was the case, the unit would not support XM, which is the just slightly ahead of AM as far as quality goes (IMO).
