if you listen to burnt cd's or any cd with a decent bitrate(128 or higher) you will notice how much the auxilary(sp?) input sucks with the ipod or anything else. I wish it sounded good, but the sound difference is like cd from radio.

and you can always change your ipod settings to allow the maximum volume level.

most mp3 files used today onipods and suchhave a bitrate of at least 128kbps. If you're talking about a regular audio cd, a regular audio cd has a much higher bitrate than that, and the files are in the .wav format. Since the bitrate is much higher, this is why only ~20-25 songs are on a standard burnt audio cd. If you're referring to a data cd, most data cds are also burnt with mp3's or .wma's with at least 128kbps.

You will only notice a difference when comparing audio cds to .mp3 or .wma files such as on an mp3 player. Most of the time a data cd will have the same quality of sound as the mp3 player, unless you are using a higher bitrate for the data cd, such as anything over 300kbps

I'm using the Aux port, with a "headphone" style cable.

I don't mean to state the obvious, but you're adjusting the volume all the way up on your ipod first right? Then use the HU for the volume adjustment. Try a new cable for sure.
