I've had this Ipod Classic for less than 24 hours, looking for replacement - Page 2

post #16 of 24
Actually I just looked at the rockbox website and the only stable/unstable ports at up to 5.5G, mini and nano 1G with the 2G being unstable. I haven't looked at ipods in a while but I don't believe the classic falls under that so that's out.

I have the fuze. It's drag and drop. Theres a folder already in the fuze called Music where I store everything. You can put folders, subfolders, songs, etc whatever you want. It's the same thing as the sony. I have the fuze and I like it. I don't know the SQ of it compared to an ipod but it has a pretty clean sound from the headphone out. I have yet to try it line out dock but that's supposed to be better according to a bunch of people here. The only disadvantage is that it's size is much more limited due to it being flash compared to a hard disk so as of right now the max is a 8gb fuze +16gb microsdhc.

How do the clip, +, and fuze compare with one another?

From Amazon, I'm a bit confused.
Sansa clip is more expensive (even before being marked down) than both + and fuze

From tech specs (according to amazon anyways)
Fuze (which supports video) has a longer battery life than clip and +

Does the fuze have a lesser SQ or something? an are they all expandable via 16gb microsdhc?

Unfortunately I do not. But i have owned both of them. The E series that came out last year was significantly upgraded in sound quality.

Yea if you properly label your songs in iTunes the iPods have a great browsing method; when I used iTunes (when I had my Nano/Touch), everything was perfectly labeled and categorized. However I deleted all of the album names so it was just Genre / Hip Hop / Blue Scholars / (Songs)

Very quick and easy to navigate.

After looking around, I think I'm going to try and operate with rockbox. It seems it has a more user-friendly format, and it's an additional firmware rather than a replacement so if I don't like it, no harm done. Also, FLAC <3

They sound exactly the same, they have the same chip in them. I dont know why amazon has the clip more than the Fuze.The fuze and clip+ are only expandable via microsd.The clip is what it is, 2,4,8 gb

Yea Rockbox not supported by my version of Ipod. Looks like I'm going to be selling it after all.

No need for subfolders.
Nope, just hours of precious time spent better elsewhere.

And yes, I begrudgingly use tags thanks to the Zune (one of few remaining HDD players with good sound).
