Having used a PJB-100 for nearly year (together with my ER4P), I recently switched to MiniDisc (a MZ-N505). The reason for the switch was that I found the audio quality from the PJB-100 unsatisfactory. In particular, it lacked clarity - this is despite using the EAC/Lame combo for ripping and encoding the MP3s, and using a 320k CBR!.
ATRAC, on the other hand, is terrific - to my ears. Clear as a bell, and miles ahead of MP3s through the PJB-100. However, I badly miss the ability to have my entire music collection with me whereever I go - (if Sony ever produce a hard drive based ATRAC player, I'm in!). So, having read good things about the iPod, I wondered if any iPod/ER4P users could comment on the sound quality?
In particular, how does it compare to a PCDP/ER4P or MD/ER4P combo?
Any comments from PJB-100 users would also be very welcome.
