i have recentley purchased an ipod. itsverynice but i can't do anything about the "gaps" in between tracks, and its pissing me off something rotten. if i didnt love it so much i'd jump on it. anyone know how to solve this problem? (yes i've changed the settings but even on "no gap" there's a g a p ) :( |
||||||||

fuck. today i thought "i will get me an ipod, but i hope there wont be gaps between the tracks like on the cds i burn using itunes." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

there's nothing wrong with your iPod. the gaps are due to the mp3/aac compression, where a bit of silence occur in the beginning and end of the file. i think ogg supports gapless encoding, but that doesn't help you much, now does it? |

hmm, you'd think they could make a $400 music playing device skip the coding caps. Maybe that's too much to expect of Apple macintoshorz |

|
|
hahaah! Excellent point! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes exactly. welt, you miss the point entirely. think about what you said and why it is stupid |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Perhaps you made welt change his mind about purchasing this. I think he was expressing that. Anyway i would have broke that in a fit of anger most likely |

i was pissed that they made that cool ass lookin ipod (black+red) but it has fucking U2 written on the back and their sigs fuck that shit, for me thats a reason to boycott apple, even though i love them |
||||||||
|

|
|
yes. i'm befogged today. HAPPENS. |
||||||||
|

|

does the latest generation STILL not support ogg? !!! that sucks. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ok so does anyone actually have an ipod & a soloution (if there is one?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not being a smartass but "return it" and "buy something else" came to mind. |
||||||||

yeah, i have one and i got used to the gaps. i rarely listen to whole albums on it and skip like hell to find a good song (i rock the random song option, usually). but when i'm listening to mixes (that's the only time i get annoyed by the gaps) i just merge the whole mix-cd into one big file, encode it, and play that. |

I have a 3g and there is a gap but it's only really noticeable if I listen out for it. If it's seriously bad on yours, you might be best merging the mp3s before you put them on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got 5 gigs on my 40gig 4G. Thats over two days of music and its only 1/8th of my total ipod space. Boner! |

I want a free mp3 player, but I don't want to be a camwhore, and I probably should spend my money on like, books or something. So I signed up on www.freeipods.com, were you just sign up at, complete a free trial offer (as long as you remember to cancel at the end) and get 5 of your friends to complete a trial offer. Then, they send you an iPod. I thought it was sketchy at first, but then a friend of mine got his in the mail...so I read the TOS, thought it sounded fine, so I am giving it a shot. If you're interested, please click my link and be my 5th referral! If the link doesn't work, just copy and paste: http://www.freeiPods.com/?r=12228546 I signed up to do the blockbuster dvd thing, which is probably easiest, since then I can just not add any dvds to my queue and cancel after 2 weeks. |

i tried my damndest on that freeipods.com thing. nobody ever wants to sign up for your sheeite though, so i eventually gave up. |
||||||||
|

|
|
i already got 4 of my roommates doing it...so i just think i have to try for a family member. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dammit! I only got two people to sign up. If it works for you I'm gonna hate myself for being a failure. |

I can't say I noticed this gap that often. It happens more when you've got it on random on all your tracks. But if you've got an album playing then maybe the first track will have a gap after it but then it's cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't do it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh no, why? do you have a horror story? i think i just got my fifth person.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i've never tried it. it's just supporting one of the evils in the world known as 'free' things. i'm sure you'll be getting a lot more junk mail and spam though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i recycle though. plus i am using my old email account, so it shouldn't be a problem. and telemarketers can't call me anyways; i don't have a land line. so all in all, good deal i think. i probably can't count on getting mine for a couple months though, but still, pretty good for free. |
||||||||
|

|
|
I think I'll just get my family buy me one for Christmas... I'll contribute a bit to it, if they want.... I don't trust "free" things. :) |
||||||||

|

Gutted, you have to be in the US for the free ipods :o( |

|
|
isn't it true that when the internal battery in the ipod eventually dies out there ain't fuck all you can do about it? (unless you wield a mighty mean soldering iron) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No. There is a new battery to be bought, or you can send it to apple to get it fixed. But it's cheaper to do it yourself |
