And, remember that human ears cannot hear much beyond approx. 45-13,000 hz
or so (i can't remember the exact numbers) - Point being, it's pretty close
to what an FM modulator is capable of.

Face it, MP3 is about convenience and accessibility, not sound quality!

Exactly.  Also remember (depending on speed) that the interior crusing speed
noise inside the car with the windows up is 70-72 db (Stromung's not
included).  So can those other frequencies be missed? depends on how good
your hearng is, and whether or not you care.

However, another reason to avoid an FM solution may be the diversity antenna
system on some of the factory radios--where there are two antennas for

You can work around that/  I was a little puzzled when I replaced my whole
Bose set up.  However, one antenna hooked up is sufficient for good radio
around me.  AM is another story... I haven't figured that one out yet.
