In the house, I'm not to interested in MP3s.  But in the car, they are 
alright, maybe because my car stereo is worse than a cheap pair of
radio shack headphones connected to a walmart special sub $50 CD
player.

But, I don't expect I'll be doing anything for the car, and thus just
want something that takes raw audio, or flac files, over a
network/serial port/long cable run USB.
