This is a very crappy arrangement where sound
quality doesn't matter much. It's a PocketPC
using a cut-down version Windows Media Player with
no volume compensation.
I'm usually playing it back through an FM
transmitter to get it on my car radio, and as I
stated it's powered by an automobile power adapter
that picks up ignition coil/engine RPM noise. I
don't think I'd notice clipping over all that
garbage. There is some occasional fuzziness on
loud parts, but the overriding requirement is to
have as high a gain on the PPC side as possible to
have as low a gain on the car radio as necessary.
Of course files destined to my Squeezeboxen are FLAC.
