Re: iPod Nano review

the packaging is amazing. very well done indeed, i have never seen an apple product before though. a very nice gift. This unit is shiny black and then chrome metal on the other side.

I thought I was gonna get to whack a spammer when I quick glanced at the thread title... LOL

I never got into the whole ipod craze. PC plays music fine for at home, and the car has an indash MP3 player and XM sat radio (more than enough). Nice review though, I've never seen a black one......always white. I'll still take a free one tho

Re: iPod Nano review



so how does it work. well the strange thing is that the control wheel has 4 button points but it is also a touch wheel for changing the volume and scrolling through the menus. that took a little getting used to and the functions seem odd sometimes. The screen is very nice and in colour. It charges only via usb in about 3 hours and i think it gives 14 hours play. the new ones give much more, have a brighter screen and no slight delay when the song changes.

what is the sound like. well it is certainly not a crap sound or with offensive treble like some stuff you buy with the default earphones. the problem is the eq. it has various choices, most of which are useless but no manual tweaking. actually i have tried various headphones and it is suprising the difference between headphones. so presently i have a nice setting which could use more bass but is ok. maybe with better headphones. still it can go pretty damn loud (even with my ears which have taken a beating over the years....)

how do you transfer tracks, well you have to use itunes which i dont mind. problem is that you have to name and tag the files properly which is kinda tedious. so you create a playlist for the nano to synch to and you put tracks from the main library in there. then it synchs via the usb.

is it recommended. yep its so thin and cute i like it very much. you have to check these out.

I had a 5GB Creative Labs Zen Micro, and now use a 30GB Zen Vision M. I use Sony earphones, though, as I like the sound. The set I use has a little built-in volume control, which makes it easy moving from a noisy lab to a quieter lab or to listen to classical music and Dream Theater without adjusting the volume on the player. I have a slight deciduous fruit phobia.

Re: iPod Nano review

I also have a Nano.

Out of all the speakers headphones/ear buds I've heard the stock Apple ear buds some of the worst things I've ever heard. I never intended on using them for long but I thought they would do for a awhile; wrong.

If you really want to get the most out of out of it invest in some third party ear buds. I went with Sony's MDR-EX71 but have also listened to a model a step down and both are worlds apart from what Apple bundles.

Other then that and it and being prone to scratches smudges I love mine.
