posting this on a 16gb touch I got today as a gift

NICE!

I'm giving thought to selling my touch.I haven't used it in about a month, and daddy needs an exhaust for his (pending) new bike. I have my mac with me all day at school, and I'm probably going to pickup a shuffle for workouts. I don't know if I need my touch anymore.

I think he was just recommending the activity on general principle.

Billy -- I keep trying, but it's hard.

I personally like the sound. It drives the er-4s well enough unamped with plenty of volume to spare- (I rarely passes the halfway mark with my music)

The sound is fantastic. It reminds me a the 1g shuffle, but more controlled. Soundstage feels expanded too. When used with an amp through the dock out the soundscape is perfect. I guess if they reach 80gb on these things I would gladly move on from "classic-y" ipods and big ass amps.

Oh wait I already did

Time to save up for an esw9

So the iTunes music store will soon be all DRM-free and 256kbps AAC. In return, the labels got 69c, 99c and $1.29 tiered pricing. Free (I think) upgrades of all lower-bit-rate prior purchases.

My library has been all lossless for all of two days, but I think some of the purged stuff is shortly going to be restored from backup.

EDIT: OK, it's not free so fuck it.

[bhd812]

30 cent for the upgrade song and 60 cent for upgrade video. the differences in price (69/99/129) will go for older catalog, new hits, and anything in between.

everything is still loaded using AAC, but with one click u can change to mp3 using itunes for free. when u upgrade any song ur name and info is still in the info section of the song.

people are saying it works over edge for itunes store. large files like video podcasts still need wifi! if you can download the itunes plus files from ur iphone over 3g then the $1.29 a song is well worth it to me...your payng for convenience of having that song rite there and then. still if you can only download the 128/drm over iphone then upgrade for 30 cent extra later on your computer i guess thats ok.

i upgraded all my songs (only 111) and it came to $9 cause most are from complete albums, but the sound quality upgrade is pretty good over the stock 128's

i have "ain't no sunshine" from Bill Withers that i listen to a lot, the quality is a bit better...worth the extra 30 i guess. still i don't like downloading itunes compared to amazon but sometimes at that moment and rite there and then you must!




also...

i bought the kensington - LiquidAUX at bestbuy yesterday for my iPhone and iPod for use in my Z4. the sound quality is amazingly amazing over the Turbodock 2 and general i/c i have been using with my ipod for the BMW's aux input! the unit docks my iPhone/iPod perfect in the Z4..looks like it was made for my car. i had to take back two units before i got one that actually worked so be ready to return it when you buy it, still the remote dont work all the time..probably take it back next week sometime but its a gamble on getting one that works. the unit does not like to make connection with the 12v outlet so it pops in and out, again on the third try it does work.

still waiting for Germy to send me the iPhone lod's so i can use those with my car and iPhone, no rush but i would like to have them soon. the iPhone line out is fucking amazing compared to the ipod classic, like i said its great running threw the shitty quality LiquidAUX so i could just imagine what it would sound like from one of Germys lods..

What kind of price would you be looking at? I don't even know which model you have.

Jus' wunderin'

Don't really know. I'd have to give it more thought, though.

FWIW I have the 32GB first gen model.

I am not sure how long its been here cause i dont usually use itunes app on the iphone but you can even download the drm free 256 songs and albums on the itunes iphone app now. and the best part is the prices i seen were 99 cent a song.

as far as comparing amazon to itunesplus on the iphone now seems to put itunes plus well ahead!

Welcome to yesterday. (In other words, not that long.)

Welcome to yesterday. (In other words, not that long.)

i downloaded a Green Velvet track on itunes which turns out to be drm free 256 last week so i was not sure how long the drm free 256 was available on the iphone app as no Announcement made at Mac world 09 mentioned anything about it...

[Dusty Chalk]

I thought it was newer than that (I.E. I thought the ability for the iPhone to download through iTunes via 3G was announced as of Macworld). Did you use 3G or did you use something else (I.E. wi-fi)?

Also, how's to know whether the track in question wasn't already 256/DRM-free? There were already some...

I used 3G as it was announced but what was not said was can you download the drm128 or the DRMfree256 on the iPhone over the 3G network. I seen the "+" in the price box on the iPhone app, again i am not sure if you had that before the Macworld announcement or not..

Some people are saying it works on Edge network also, either way that's a big step in the music world cause now you can have a decent quality (256 is not bad), DRM Free song anywhere you want and at any second you want for the typical 99 cent price you get from computer downloads all while shopping at The worlds largest music store! The Gphone has AmazonMP3 but the selection and size is nothing close to iTunes (at least for today). Of course this was going to come either way and my guess it was forwarded by the presence of the Gphone and amazonmp3..


not sure if this will change my shopping habits from amazonmp3 just yet but why should i wait till i get home to buy a 256/drmfree song when i could pay the same price and have it rite this second from this very spot? i guess iTunes will be getting more of my money in the future...DAMMIT!

I'm officially out of the running for both an iPhone or an iPod Touch. My parents are retiring and to help them save money and stay on a lower level plan, I'm switching to Verizon. So goodbye iPhone. And it looks like I'm going to be going with a Samsung Omnia, which while not as elegant as either the iPhone or the Touch, should fit the bill for an all-in-one phone/music & movie player/PDA with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. So far, all of my research has backed up the idea that it's a well thought out piece of gear that works for those who can't/won't go with AT&T to get the iPhone and have no desire to deal with the buggy Blackberry Storm.
