Hmm...Not sure if I want to get into this one, but there's a few
arguments to be made:
- MP3's encoded at a decent bitrate will sound as good as a CD. Not
opinion, but fact.
- MP3s also sound better than any XM "digital" broadcast.
- A car is a noisy enviroment to begin with, so what are the chances of
you really enjoying
the dynamic range that the XDP4K would provide you with?
- You can have your cake and eat it too, by having multiple sources (i.e
MP3, CD audio, etc)
There are many MP3s that are made that are indeed low quality, but you
cannot use the brush
to paint them ALL low quality. By adding an MP3 source, you are not
downgrading your system
to a bad system; it will still be a great system...
My opinion would be: don't knock it 'till you tried it. :-)

Dr. Walters here (I am not really a Dr. but will play one on this list).
I fear you have been afflicted with Audiophile Nervosa. A terrible
condition for music lovers. You actually become unable to enjoy music
because of sound quality.
http://www.stereophile.com/thinkpieces/51/
The purpose of a great system (any system really) is to enjoy music. If a
great system inhibits the ability to enjoy music, than the afflicted
subject needs serious medical attention.
My recommended treatment is for you to send me all of your high-end gear,
and listen to only low-fi systems. If and when the love of music returns,
I will slowly return your gear.

Ok I guess I gave people the wrong idea... I am not even close to being an
audiophile.... though I might be someday if I ever get my damn system
finished!!! (but then again I wouldn't have anything left to do but listen to
music
on it, and where is the fun in that)
I wasn't trying to knock mp3's or the people that use them, I just figured
that if you have a 4000x you are not a "normal" person and would be looking for
the best sound quality possible. though I'm sure I probably couldn't tell
the difference between a good mp3 and a cd anyway. also how easy is it to
navigate 100's of mp3 files on a c90 when you cant see a damn thing :o)
OK im going to shut up now before I get myself into any more trouble.... and
just wait for my $2000 speaker cables to come in so I can finish my
system....

Don't be ashamed, just your opinion. I happen to
agree, to a point. I don't like hearing "good" music
when it is encoded to MP3 and played on a superior
system. When I play I
like to hear ALL of what was recorded.
You can tell the difference. MP3 is a lossy
compression scheme, so it wil not sound exactly like a
CD: maybe to some ears, but not mine.
