Just got an ex-demo Blaupunkt Daytona MP53 head unit for £100 off ebay -
arrived this morning. No idea if it`s any good yet, but it was damn site
cheaper than getting a CD changer and a compatible head unit.
MP3 CD headunit = Yay!
So sayeth me.

they are not the same quality at all, I play mp3`s here in my house ripped
from CD`s at max quality and I can tell the difference between that and the
original cd, the bass goes higher without distorting etc...

I think he was saying that he burned an audio CD from MP3`s he had on his
PC and also burned a data CD with the same MP3 files on, and that the
playback from the data CD sounded worse than from the audio CD.
If that is really true, then either the MP3 decoder in the headunit is a
bit shonky, or the interpolation algorithm used by the burning/decoding
software on the PC is better.
