My question is how do you get songs that you WANT to LISTEN to? To me, that's the main reason for buidling the system. In other words, if I wanted to listen to music that was put together by someone else, I'd just switch on an FM radio. I tried Pandora, but the channels that I liked had fewer songs than my own playlist from both Amazon and iTunes (iTunes sucks donkey balls). And I have USB inputs, but frankly the process of editing, arranging and burning to USB sort of seems laborious. It would have to be easy enough for an idiot to do it, at least once per month for me to be able to pull that off.... When there is an easier way, I choose the easy way.
Edit: I also tried playing straight to USB from the iPod. It worked, but cleaning up the signal with the mixer and amp sounds WAYYYYY better.

This is where spotify is different than Pandora. Spotify is all full albums, you can curate your own playlists and over time it will also build playlists for you that have been very good at uncovering stuff I had not heard before and really liked. I use a couple old apple airports and run a headphone jack to rca into my stereo. Do the same but using bluetooth in my car.
With spotify you can even download your playlist for time you might be away from cel service.
