:) I purchased this item not long ago, but I do enjoy its design as well as quality of the movies and the fact the memory is so big.
I had no problem returning the item. Ipod had a sticky bar code across the front, when I took it off, there was a discolored area on the toggle.
Wouldn't surprise me that Apple's A/D algorithm is poor to start and the impact is worsened when moving the data to the iPod.I also agree with critics of the EQ. I hear a distinct difference with iTunes being on the thin & tinny side. WMP is fuller and richer. I agree with other critics of the sound on this unit.HOWEVER I have recently learned something that might help you.I had ripped my music to the Apple Lossless format because I listen to a lot of classical stuff and wanted the highest quality. Forget it.After all this, I think the product is very good after converting my library to MP3. So I experimented a bit and found that I got a much more acceptable sound using high quality MP3 format.If you suspect the A/D converter try this experiment - play the same MP3 file in iTunes and Windows Media player. The iPod sound was AWFUL and no EQ setting would fix it. You may need a file with lots of information, say a symphony.
VERY annoying.This is the real deal breaker for me: Unlike iTunes, when browsing a playlist on the iPod, you can ONLY view by songs (iTunes allows you to browse each playlist by album - grid or coverflow). The capacity and the physical size are great. The wheel is far less responsive than the second gen I've been using for years. I really hope I can return this to the store.UPDATE: If you select all your compilations/soundtracks and "get info" you can indicate that it is part of a compilation and it will only show up once in coverflow=) You can even select multiple albums at once - just takes time to process.
It doesn't even show the album art for the song. So if I wan to listen to "Grease" from my "I'm having a bad day" playlist I can't just look for the album "grease" because each song is listed individually. However, I am unable to view the albums on the iPod because you can only view by song in playlists. I have a few key playlists that contain the 200+ albums I listen to regularly.
Sadly, in coverflow, the iPod can ONLY sort by artist. I have 90GB of music. But. This is HORRIBLE.
So each album appears several times in coverflow (once per artist). Maybe I'll get used to it. I have about 30GB of soundtracks and compilations.
In brief, i'm very very upset with all this situation, i hope that they send me a brand new iPod with all the payments covered, because here in Peru i paid taxes because this purchase, the product was withhold in custums, i paid 91$ taxes plus the 300$ for the used "LIKE NEW" iPod.Well, i'm only waiting for exemplary solution here. hi, i'm from Peru, i'm sorry that i have to do this but i'm upset with this purchase, because i bought an 160G classic iPod, and it was defective, the audio is so awful, it sounds like it scrapes, i try for two weeks, all kind of things, advices from iPod forums, from the apple web page, all, and nothing happens, i ask for technical help, so i write to the seller (MOBILESAHRK) and they said that i have to resent the iPod.
