Newer Ipods

[PAH]

For best sound quality you need to use MP3s with a high bitrate, or maybe even lossless.

To achieve this you'll probably need something with plenty of storage, so an ipod classic is a good option, unless there are similar non-apple alternatives at a cheaper price, that fare well in any reviews out there.

I've got a fairly old ipod, I think its a gen2 40gb model, and it's started to play up a bit.

I've started to have a look for a new model and my query is....
Is the sound quality any better in the newer models?

I'm initially looking at a 160gb classic as i think the touch models are a bit gimmicky, however if the sound is better, I'd think again.......

I've got an iPod like yours - her indoors has a 32GB touch. No difference in sound quality IMHO.

the betamax that was technically better than VHS?

That was exactly my point It's not like you to miss the obvious

The applications available for the touch and iphone are worth looking at because they add so much functionality. I just got TV Plus which means I can look up TV schedules and set my Sky box to record remotely.

Thanks, But I don't need it for anything other than to sit in my glove compartment. So all I really need is decent sound as it will be wired directly into my car stereo. My existing Ipod only gets out of my car @once every 3 months!

Still using your Betamax recorder?

if you're not using iTunes then there are other MP3 players than the iPod

ditch the ipod and get summat from creative.

The technology is a lot better.
