Nope me too! I also have my m60s hooked up to the computer via digital out on my creative audigy 2 sound card to the digital coax jet on my Denon.
Musicmatch On Demand with cd-quality online streaming audio is great for checking out new artists/albums!
Any thoughts on comparison between playing cds on the comp and on a separate cd player?

Musicmatch? BOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Personal opinion aside.
It's all winamp for me baby, course with a 9000+ mp3 collection
I do enjoy playing stuff on the seperate, purely because my computer is a noisy bastard and kinda ruins the experience a bit

It was winamp for me too all throughout college, and then after I bought my m60s I discovered mp3s don't sound too hot throught those speakers and proceeded to rebuy my college mp3 collection in cd form, which is a very expensive move...
however musicmatch subscription is still great for checking out new stuff cause you can stream entire albums!
The problem i have with playing stuff on the separate is that i can only load one cd at a time, as I don't own a cd changer and that can get rather tiresome after awhile. From someone who is used to mp3-playing and assembling 500-song playlists, that is. Oh well quality over quantity...:(
Not looking to buying an expensive separate digital music thingy anytime soon, so I guess I'll have to live with that unless someone has an ingenius recommendation!

MP3's don't sound good if you download them through musicmatch / itunes etc. because they're only 128kbps... I'm picky, all my mp3's are other ripped from CD's I own, or at a minimum 160-192kbps... The lower the bit rate, the worse they sound

so daphoid do you rip mp3s from your cd collection on to your hardrive and assemble a playlist from those?
Yup the mp3s I have from college are mostly 128 kbps and below which is why they sound crappy however the ones that can be bought/downloaded from musicmatch are 160kbps. I haven't done that tho'...haven't quite caught that bug...

I just threw away my whole mp3 collection and started again using 320kbps. I actually was going to go Apple lossless but I don't think my previous generation Ipod is compatible. I intend to start streaming my mp3's over a wireless netwirk so wanted really good baseline quality.
