iPod Nano v4

Do they still have some of the worst sound quality available in modern portable audio?

If so, I'm not really sold. :P
 
They picked the perfect colors. Honestly, if Steve Jobs came up to me and said "hey, Zeta Reticuli, we need you to pick a shade of red, a shade of orange, a shade of yellow, a shade of green, a shade of blue, and a shade of purple," those would be the exact shades I would pick.

I thought it was all about what headphones you owned, that determined the quality of the sound you got.



EDIT: I'm not getting one, because my current iPod nano (gen 2, I believe, it's a product red one) doesn't even come close to being able to hold all the music I have in my library. I want that huge iPod with 120 gigs. Maybe for Christmas?
 
I'm probably going to end up sticking with my outdated scratched-up piece of shit iPod, but if I do end up getting one of these it'd be the green one. Because that's just an awesome shade of green.

Though I'd also like to try out a Zune.

Well, that does play a huge role. But audiophiles have long been disgusted by the poor sound quality iPods have. Those who love lossless formats (I'm a FLAC fanboy) can't really do much unless you want to use Apple's crappy lossless format which isn't all that lossless anyway.
 
I was under the impression that this was mostly due to the placebo effect, and that you would have to be a huge audiophile to distinguish the difference. (and even then, it probably wouldn't drastically affect your enjoyment of the music)
 
finally apple came out with a color selection that's not total ass

but thanks I already have enough of their devices that are a pain in the ass to use with my platform

I'm not really interested in giving apple any more of my money, ever; kinda tired of their anti-competitive and closed business practices

there is a very notable difference between 128 kbps and a sexy lossless 1048 kbps or so

the difference being that one is way beyond what anyone can notice and is of no practical value

so it's actually safer than skateboarding
 
Oh, iPods. I've never owned one, ever. I probably never will. Either way, they use iTunes. I don't like iTunes.
 
Holy shit those colours are rad. If I wasn't poor I might consider getting one... my current nano is full lol

Me neither. I've got a random MP3 player from Argos I love that I got last Christmas and it's only about 2 gig, but still doesn't fit all my music on X3

The colours are pretty, though. I like the yellow... and the pink and the green~
 
Meh, nice, but I'm still gonna have to stick with my lavender Shuffle. It's only 1 gig and still holds all my music, so.

...And I'd honestly get that purple one because that is a sexy shade of purple but I can't afford it :[
