[QUOTE="Mojo027, post: 67579, member: 3145"] My iPod is new, so I can't counter this statement. But from what I've heard the 4G iPod has a better battery and isn't so error prone as the 3G battery and prior. This is completely untrue. I have a 4G iPod and I can honestly say that it sounds better than my Windows machine. Granted I only have an Sound Blaster Live 5.1 sound card, which isn't too great. My speakers are fine, Logitech z5300s and my headphones are Sennheiser HD477. I can honestly say that the ipod sounds better through my Senns than through my Senns on my PC. I can see upgrading to a Audigy 2 which would help my PC sound quality, but it wouldn't be anything major. And my iPod definitely sounds just as good or better than my Sony Minidisc player. I really like the click wheel. It's actually fun to use, and I can't say that about any other interface I've ever used on any mp3 player. So you have to take it out of your pocket. Big deal, you moved your arm. Fumbling around in your pocket to change a song wont work anyways, unless your just skipping ahead which is doable on th iPod as it is. If you're going to look for a particular song you're going to have to take it out of your pocket anyways. This arguement is just stupid and no thought was put behind it. If you're that hard assed, buy the little iPod remote and clip it on your shirt collar/pocket or whatever. Who cares, 99% of all people's music is in MP3 format anyways, and 192kbps MP3 sounds pretty **** good. Apple doesn't care about Linux users, they only count for like 2% of the entire market. The iPod is marketted towards normal teenagers, not computer nerds. It's meant to be used by everyone, and OGG isn't much better (if at all) than MP3. Just buy your music and rip it at 192kbps and you'll be happy with it. Why people whine about not having OGG or WMA or what have you I'll never understand. MP3 is just as good. [/QUOTE]
