I rip to Ogg Vorbis. Superior file format to MP3, in my opinion.

Xemitg, is this really productive?

Does the iPod sound good unlike MP3 tin-can-sounds?

Indeed Sanctaphrax it is because after that I explained a better use for your money. I was a bit harsh though. All pod owners need to use their money better and give it to me.

Let go of the iPod and listen to the real world. Jesus, even I am not that anti-social....

Sorry, just had to use the J-word, didn't mean to offend, please suggest an alternative word if you want.

What does it have to do with being anti-social?
The real world doesn´t talk to me either way, if I (pretend to)listen to music, at least they talk about me and I can listen to them. ~D ~D ~D

Please edit that, yes. Take 'darn it' or something quite light. ~:)

I agree with your opinion. Darn I-pods. :furious3:

I bought an iPod a while ago but I don't find much use for the thing.

I think its a touch-wheel one with firewire. I'm told my more up-to-date 'podders' that it is an antique of an ipod. It came from the US.

I quite like the fact it doesn't use batteries and that it charges whenever I plug it into my computer. I don't like the way that doing this seems to launch 1001 applications of which I only want to use one.

The sound quality is passable on headphones but when played through speakers the upper and lower levels are poor.

I bet the speakers you tried to connecto to the iPod was poor. It isnt the iPod that twists music into bad quality, if that is what you are implying. It's simply stores music. Now, if the owner put some bad encoded mp3s or something on it, obviously it will sound bad. Just use 192 quality.

Danr it doesn't have the same effect as Jesus, I will start a thread for alternative religion nuetral words, partly because it should be entertaining and partly because I could use a new word....

iPods make people tune out, such as my brother and several dozen people that I notice at my school. This makes them anti-social. They are also a waste of money, far too much for such a simple thing.

yeah on most stereo speakers 192 will do fine, but for the better speakers, you'll need to rip at 256 or higher to not notice the difference between it and normal music, the biggest problem people have with mp3s is that they all rip them to 128 or even 68 kbps and then it sounds like crap, of course it does, it only has 64 kbs to draw from each second, if you use mp3s for listening to music you always rip to 192 or higher.

kbps, not kbs ;)
