I am pleased with the look and sound of the ipod. Overall it is pretty good. My concern is that the dial sticks and I cannot always navigate from artist, song, compilations, etc. My hope is that it is just a slight glitch and not going to get worse and then eventually not work at all. I bought brand-new ipod so I am disappointed that this ipod isn't 100%.
Rating: - So far so good!
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! :)
Rating: - Discolored
Ipod had a sticky bar code across the front, when I took it off, there was a discolored area on the toggle. I had no problem returning the item.
Rating: - About the sound...
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. The iPod sound was AWFUL and no EQ setting would fix it. 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. You may need a file with lots of information, say a symphony. I hear a distinct difference with iTunes being on the thin & tinny side. WMP is fuller and richer. 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. Forget it.
After all this, I think the product is very good after converting my library to MP3.
