iPod touch iPod touch is the worst iPod ever

This is particularly annoying for me, especially since it's STILL an issue. Please head over to the link below and sign the petition if this bugs you!

That does NOTHING. The proper place is to write to:

This is why I stayed away from the touch, for music, it is far too inconvenient to carry a touchscreen player without play/pause hardware buttons. Also it is quite large, although thin, it takes up quite the amount of space in my pocket. Sony e436f FTW!

+1 with the Sony Walkman.

Just the quality of the buds are worth the asking price.

I get a lot of use out of my 2g 32GB iPod Touch. I've got an armband for it and use it with bluetooth headphones. Great for exercising or just plain walking.

I'm with you on the song navigation. Just wish Apple would allow the user to organize the music the way he likes. I prefer artist --> album or artist --> playlist. I've also got all my music encoded as apple lossless. I know a lot of you think that is overkill but I fit over 170 albums on my iPod Touch and they all sound great. When I tire of some of them, I swap them out.

this is surprisingly difficult to do with just one hand while the iPod is in your pocket. i might have to look into buying some new earphones with the pause button.

double post bah

i have the touch for games/internet and the nano just for music that way i dont fill up my itouch on music alone i want more room for games and apps. but in my opinion the itouch volume seems a little bit more softer than the nano. the nano when connected to speakers is alot more louder.

The ipod has worse audio qaulity than my zune. Thats about it. I don't really find anything annoying on the ipod touch. Its hands down, the best electronic i have ever bought.

You have something that is made by Microsoft?!?! TRAITOR! The only people that can have stuff made by them should have a good excuse.

I agree that the interface on the Touch is not ideal for pure music listening. It does so much other stuff, there are just too many compromises.

That's why I keep my music collection on an iPod classic and keep an 8gb ipod touch for listening to podcasts and using as a portable email reader/web browser.

Whaaaaaat?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that audio quality is mostly due to the quality of the audio files themselves. The player has little impact on audio quality. Buy a nice pair of headphones (NOT the Apple ones!) and encode your music above 256kbps and say that again.

Agree that headphones make a huge difference with an ipod, and generally $100 is about the price of low-end "good" in-ear phones, but:

The chip does make a difference. Audio buffs who listen to iPods prefer the ipod video (5g, first came out in 2005) because of the Wolfson audio chip it contained. I think that chip is even keeping up the value of those old machines somewhat. None of the ipods from the last couple of years has the really good chip, as Apple has switched to Cirrus.
