I'm confused...if it's mp3, ogg, m4a, or other files recorded at around 128kbps, how can the sound be noticably better on any device?

Good Improvements!

by Gerry77 - 10/3/06 5:05 PM In reply to: What kind of Apple iPod do you own? by Marc Bennett Moderator

I own the original 5G 60gig video iPod. The improvements are great, but I am glad that they're not enough to upgrade my current one yet. Gradual improvements which don't make my current one obsolete. The increase to 80gigs is probably the most noteworthy enhancement.

You all need to get real lives....

not only do you spend inordinate amounts of free time tuning out the humans around you - you spend what time you have left debating the best means to do it....how sad our society has come to this! Free yourselves of the earbuds - I beg you all!

I Agree

by kheim - 10/3/06 8:07 PM In reply to: You all need to get real lives.... by steve02493

Well said, but we are won't get many to agree. Think about what forum we are in. Techyville? I do enjoy my music when ever I can. I try not to use it if it makes people around me feel uncomfortable. ipods are very trendy right now but there is one thing for sure. It will change with the next trendy device, in short order. This is what keeps these companies ceo's living very comfortable. Trickle the toys out just fast enough to keep us buying. I don't own an ipod. I have a very cheap and older gerneric flash player with no DRM. It works for me but it may not be everyone.

WHAT?

by Ironpeddler - 10/12/06 5:46 AM In reply to: You all need to get real lives.... by steve02493

you are just another "what has this world come to" alarmist. So if I walk 15 blocks to my office in a city, I'm blocking out the world and being anti-social if I listen to music instead of traffic horns? If I travel as a Sales Rep and drive 5-6 hours a day and want to listen to music instead of "shock jock" commercial filled FM radio, I'm loosing touch with reality?...Geez, give me a break. While there is some over use of personal music devices, in general, they are great to take your music with you when traveling. I'm 50 yo and my teenagers have them too, but it's up to the parent to "teach" the proper time and place to use them. Maybe you "should get a life" and stop bashing people that enjoy themselves through technology!....you sound like just another Internet nay-sayer...move on, I know how to manage my life and I don't need your help. Have a nice day!

Audiobooks -- not "music"

by listenerjoe - 10/12/06 9:29 AM In reply to: WHAT? by Ironpeddler

I am that sales rep who's 5-6 hours traveling most daze. I listen to audio books -- not tape or CD, but on my Creative Nomad JB zenXtra 30GB. It's easy as "music" to download and much more "constructive".

Audiobooks - YES!

by bestsealer - 10/13/06 9:30 AM In reply to: Audiobooks -- not "music" by listenerjoe

I agree.. I probably use my MP3 player (Sony NW-HD1) more for audiobooks than music. I take it with me everywhere.

My collection of books is growing, and I keep them on an external HD, and just move them over to my MP3 player as I need them. I probably have about 470 books now (about 140 GB). My list is online and grows almost weekly:

I tried to start an audiobook MeetUp group in my area, but unfortunately, there did not seem to be any interest. Too bad.
