I don't see how people can listen to CDs on airplanes.
The constant roar of engines overpowers any sonic advantage of CDs.
I've found that I can't even listen to good home-recorded
tapes on airplanes if there's a wide dynamic range.
For example, much of Holst's "The Planets" is inaudible on planes
(except, of course, "Mars, the Bringer of War").
On planes, I usually just stick with David Bowie, Talking Heads,
(for classics) Vivaldi's "Four Seasons", and the like.
