Ipod Touch / Iphone

[bhd812]

I was under the impression yes, macrumors has something about it and i could of sworn i read something else somewhere else. They also should up the Touch to 64gb then..but the iphone is at its mid cycle life in Feb, so i am betting hard a 32gb would come out...

or a iPhone Nano...not!

I think maybe I was under the impression somewhere that I read something else somewhere else that maybe this post is useless.

Awhile back my iPhone 3G's silent/ringer button fell off, So i finally got around to going to the Apple store in Orland Park and they replaced it with a new iPhone no problems..

Another great Customer service experience at the Orland Park store!

OK I bit the bullet and purchased a 32g Touch for myself, as my wife raves about the iPhone she got recently. So far, pretty impressed with it, especially the wifi capabilities and the Remote application. One aspect however is pretty annoying - skipping on ALAC file playback. Googling the problem, it seems prevalent. Anyone else having this problem?

[n_maher]

I haven't had that issue on my 1st Gen Touch but only a handful of the files I have on it are ALAC. I'll load up a few more today and see if I get behavior like that.

[JimP]

there's a work around which is to turn off auto 'screen off'. tried it and ALAC no longer skips. but I suspect this will be to the detriment of battery life. maybe I should go to AAC for the the Touch...

[n_maher]

Battery life will certainly suffer if the screen stays on but you could try manually shutting off the screen and seeing if that causes the skipping to reappear. On my touch as soon as audio is playing I can hit the sleep/wake (power) button and audio continues to play without interruption. I often do this so that I don't inadvertently hit anything on the touchscreen when putting it into my pocket.

No ploblem here on 1st gen 16gb Touch. Just out of curiousity you uncoded thru iTunes?

[morphsci]

No problem on my 1g Touch. All files are transcoded from FLAC to ALAC using dbPoweramp. No skipping whether the screen is on or off.

I checked the ALAC issue with my 2nd gen 32gb Touch and sure enough, it skips on ALAC playback. This happens regardless of whether I manually turn the screen off or let the auto-off feature turn it off. Bit annoying, but thankfully, it's non-issue for me as I convert all my music to AAC for the Touch.

Just bought an 8gb touch - the last one in this area. Took about 5 hours of running around to get.

I now wonder how I got along all this time without it. I only have a few (free) applications right now, but wow, they're amazing.

Hmm, never had that happen, and all the stuff on my Touch is Apple lossless... it's got the latest firmware yes? 2.2.

[JimP]

Since I'll be using this purely portable (no amp), I've decided to just go AAC. Found some applescripts to do it easily, no more skipping. Not sure what's going on with ALAC, this is latest firmware and ALACs are ripped fresh in iTunes. Cover-Flow is very cool...

Yep, it's a 2nd gen touch with firmware version 2.2. As JimP noted, it appears to be a fairly common occurrence amongst 2nd gen touch owners (who also uses ALAC).
