For me CDs do not play anywhere near 300 kbps or CF Card quality for some reason. This is the CF card I bought: Newegg.com - Kingston 4GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card Model CF/4GB - Flash Memory
You will also need a card reader and save high quality MP3s to it. Do a lossless rip as theDreamer said from a CD or download on internet. Plug it in and the Bose system becomes alive. The switching between songs is instant, not like with Musicbox or CD or XM where there is a little lag. Full text is available including file name on the screen if you have navigation.
I'm not familiar at all with CF cards or card readers etc. So you put the CF card in the card reader and then the card reader has plugs on it that plugs into the car just like an MP3 player? Also how are the downloaded songs transferred to the card? I'm guessing the card reader plugs right into a computer as well?
