iTouch Question

Re: iTouch Question

No problem.

Why would anyone get an iPod anyway? They're the worst PMP's around apart from the Creative Zen X-Fi and X-Fi 2.

Jailbreaking? And it is the most popular player around. I know the only reason I got mine was because of jailbreaking it.

Re: iTouch Question

Something's not right. I changed up my spring boards a bit, and now it adds about 6 pages of blanks, and when you hold down an app to delete them, it says "Are you sure you want to delete the bookmark ""?" How do you get rid of these for good? I've deleted them fully several times then they come back. ANNOYING.

Why do you say that? The sound quality's great, the HUD is pretty good, and the size is more than adequate. Not only that, but now they can do so much more than just play music.

What program did you use to change your springboard?

You can't delete apps that were gotten from jailbreak sources by holding down on the screen, only licensed apple software works this way. To delete jailbreak source apps you have to open the program(like Cydia, Rock)on the very bottom you should see manage, then go to packages and uninstall your apps their. Only way to do it. If that's what your asking...

Are those blanks your apps? If they are that's your theme doing that. It's happened to me before. Just deselect your theme from winterboard, if your using that for themes and it should fix itself. Some themes don't have many customized icons so they end up blanks lots of the time.

So you have to completely change the workings of a product to make it worth buying.

Totally worth it...

wait WHAT

The sound quality's great

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA XDDDDD

Out of every PMP I've ever owned (which includes an iPod and iPod Touch), the iPod sounds like absolute audial excretion compared to MP3 players.

Did you modify your Xbox/PS3/PSP/PS2/PS1? It doesn't make it a pointless buy, because your not turning it into something else, you're enhancing it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA XDDDDD

There's really no need to try and belittle me.

I've owned a couple of MP3 players over the years and I can easily say that my iPhone has at least equal the sound quality over my previous ones (which included a Sony Ericsson and a Samsung thing).

Then you need your ears cleaning. If I were to show you an iPod and a Samsung with the same song with a decent pair of headphones, you'd hear a HUGE difference. Hell, I noticed a massive difference without expensive headphones. It sounds flat and horrible on an iPod. Also, why the hell is there no Custom EQ on the iPod? Why is there no enhancements?

Did you know every song that's put on an iPod is compressed to take out the sounds you can't hear? Apart from the fact it does a horrible job and it strips the quality of the music away.

Also, lack of file support. No FLAC, no OGG, no WAV, hopeless file support. I guess I could always rip it to Apples ****ty codecs, but why would I make the music suffer further?

So you expect a player that compresses everything, plays the file on a bad soundcard with no enhancements or custom EQ, and to match it to a REAL music player? And also to have to have Apples software and accessories to get the most out of the player? Haha, wow. Some people will buy anything.


You can keep your candy coated rubbish which is designed to please any hipster around the planet all you like, which restricts almost anything audio related. I'll have my Samsung.

Also, did I mention that the Samsung supports Apple files too? Why can't Apple support other codecs?


Also, what Samsung MP3 player did you have? Model number please. I've had several and they were the best of the best. Or are you just making that up? I was rather disappointed with Sony.

Also, note "over the years". Audio quality technology has come a long way since then, but the one thing that Apple have NEVER worked on is the audio quality. Ever. They never improved this. An old iPod will sound just as bad as a new one. But modern players such as the Samsung YP-P3 and the Cowon S9 have stunning sound quality that's always developing using firmware.

Also, I wasn't belittling you. I was just displaying the truth. Take the iPod off of your heart and face the facts.

Re: iTouch Question

Why would they need to be better? It runs off of popularity. You don't need to make a good product if everyone is going to buy one anyways.

And I have no idea about sound quality. I always have crappy headphones so I'd never notice the difference.

You'd notice if you didn't have an iPod.

There are preset EQs on my iPhone. Sure, I can't make a custom setting, but there are enough there that if, for some reason, I wanted to change the settings, I could.

Did you know every song that's put on an iPod is compressed to take out the sounds you can't hear? Apart from the fact it does a horrible job and it strips the quality of the music away.

As someone who works with sound and sound quality constantly, I can tell you that my iPhone has a good sound quality.

Also, lack of file support. No FLAC, no OGG, no WAV, hopeless file support. I guess I could always rip it to Apples ****ty codecs, but why would I make the music suffer further?

That's my only problem with the iPod, the fact that you have to have iTunes to make it work. For someone who always used WMP to play music, and had everything set up on it, it was a pain to switch. After making the switch, however, I can tell you it's made things a lot easier.

Also, what Samsung MP3 player did you have? Model number please. I've had several and they were the best of the best. Or are you just making that up? I was rather disappointed with Sony.

I had the Samsung S3. Can I tell you the reason I don't have it anymore? Because through normal usage (I merely kept it in my pocket, something which is apparantly too strenuous for it to handle), the screen broke. Not the outside screen, but the inside screen. I could still use it fine, managing to navigate by feel alone, until the headphones decided that all they wanted to give me was static. I had it for about two months. I've had my iPhone for about the same, at it works better now than the day I got it.

Also, note "over the years". Audio quality technology has come a long way since then, but the one thing that Apple have NEVER worked on is the audio quality. Ever. They never improved this. An old iPod will sound just as bad as a new one. But modern players such as the Samsung YP-P3 and the Cowon S9 have stunning sound quality that's always developing using firmware.

That's pretty amazing considering that I hear great sound quality coming from my iPhone, right as we speak.

Also, I wasn't belittling you. I was just displaying the truth. Take the iPod off of your heart and face the facts.

You were laughing loudly* at the point I was making, as though I was an idiot for making it. If that's not trying to belittle me, then what is?

* You know what I mean

But WHY would you buy such rubbish?

Because it's a quality product. It must be if so many people have one.
