True.

I play it on my car stereo by burning it to a CD, and play that.

Just converting it to MP3 loses a lot of quality.
Thing is that you don't have to use the iTunes music store to get music
for the iPod. You can download it from anywhere and load it into the
iPod.

But if you want only one or two tracks from the CD, why pay for the
entire CD?
I'm originally from New York City. About a year ago, I was feeling very
nostalgic, so I searched the iTunes music store for songs about New
York, and downloaded about 35 of them. It cost me about $35 to do so,
but if I had to buy the CDs that those songs were on, it would have cost
me hundreds of dollars.
