The Reader

Hello group,
I'm a recent convert to iPhone, and not necessarily in the know yet about the common complaints so apologies if this topic/question has been beaten to death already.

I'm disappointed in the quality of the sound when playing music. The iPod function doesn't sound anywhere approaching as good as my iPod classic, which blew me away when I first got it. Then today I tried listening to a streaming radio station and the quality is so poor it puts me in mind of the (really) old days of the tinny single speaker clock radios of my youth.

Am I expecting too much? Is there a setting on the device that will improve the sound quality? I've messed with the equalizer but that doesn't seem to affect the sound quality in the least. Is my experience simply a function of the media form?

All thoughts/comments are much appreciated.
I'm using an iPhone 4 through the tape deck of the JBL sound system of my car. The comparison to the iPod classic is made using the same equipment.

Thanks all!
Dawn
