if i run a ipod recording through my stereo system will
the sound quality be less than a pre-recorded cd of the
same song?
Not necessarily.
can you easily tell the difference?
Too many variables to make a relevant comment. As others have pointed out,
the origional model of Ipod is no longer just one digital audio player, but
a family of players that have changed significantly under the covers.
Then, there are all those different models of iPod.
Here are some boundary examples:
(1) It is possible to load an iPod with a bit-perfect copy of any track on a
CD, and then unload that track back to another CD. If you do everything
right, the origional pre-iPod version and the post-iPod version are
mathematically indistingushable. Therefore under ideal conditions, they must
sound the same.
(2) If you have a really crappy CD player and an audio system that is
otherwise highly excellent, playing the track mentioned in the prevous
example from an iPod through that audio system might sound better than
playing the same track off the origional CD on the crappy CD player.
(3) If you have a reasonably good CD player and audio system, and you match
levels and time-synch the playback from the CD player and the iPod, then you
probably won't easily notice any difference.
(4) Anybody who says that playback from an iPod always sounds like crap is
wrong, and anybody who says that playback from an iPod always sounds
superior is wrong.
