just loaded my iPod with all my alt-preset-standard mp3's and I am little disappointed. They sound pretty good but do not get that loud on my V6's (I expected to be drowned in sound with these). On my EX70's they sound decent but distort at high volumes. I also have the iRiver IMP-550, and mp3's...

Finally solved the problem. Firts, as pointed out, having windows format the drive reaaly screwed it up. Second, I updtaed w/ the wrong software 1.3 instead of using 2.01. All I needed to do was updtae with 2.01 software for XP and reformat. So if anyone else ever has the problem of iTunes not...

yeah ever since i reformatted the thing is totally screwed up oly dsiplaying the folder with the exclamation point. Is there any way to restore it to factory settiungs other than rebooting?

Damn--I just updated to 1.3 ipod software for Win XP and still when I connect--itunes doesn't see the ipod and I get the "Disk Mode/do not disconnect message." What is so weird is that windows recognizes the ipod but iTUnes does not?!?!?!? ARGHHHHHHH

how do I find out which gen--I think it is the latest.

I just read a post in the iPOD lounge forum with someone who was having the exact same problem. He then responded, "problem solved: all i needed to do was upgrade my iPod... to 2.1." What does he mean by upgrading the iPOD to 2.1? Maybe that is what I need to do...

i received the iPOD in pristine condition--never been used. I reformatted because a format dirve box popped up in windows so I formatted in FAT32. I just rebooted the iPOD and a folder with anexclamation mark popped up--now it is blank.

that's the weird thing; according to the manual, I should see the iPOD in my iTunes "sources" coulmn, but I don't???

just got a 10GB iPOD from a friend. Installed itunes for Windows (latest version from Apple). Connected iPOD to my computer thru firewire connection--formatted the drive and now for the past 24 hours a circle with a line through it keep sflashing saying "Disk Mode--Do Not Disconnect." I have...

are there any other brands that put out the same power as the imp-550?

I just listened to the iriver imp-550 and was blown away by the sound and output power--man that is the loudest output power I have ever heard from an mp3-cd player--incredible sound-i turned it all the way up with absolutely no distortion. Here's the catch though, I do not like not having...

I use the Sony EX70 for the gym and Sony V6's for portable non-gym use. Im in the U.S.

I have never listened to an iPOD and I was wondering what the ouput power and volume levels are like like. Basically will it be loud enough for me? I find tha a lot of MP3 players and PCDP's do not have adequete volume levels.

I want to buy an iPOD, but I really want an AM/FM tuner in the same unit. Does the iPOD have any accesory that will enable me to have AM/FM capability? Does Apple ever plan to release an integrated radio tuner into an iPOD. Any suggestions or alternatives?

I just noticed that audiocubes has the new Sony EX71's. Has anyone compared them to the EX70. I personally love the EX70's for the gym (great isolation). Are the EX71's worth the upgrade?

I would go with the V-6's over the 280's; I like both but the V-6's are driven better with a portable. Also ( I will probably get flack for this but...) the EX70SL would both look good(they are white), and perform well with your IPOD. Granted many people hate these but IMO they are a giant step...

I really have to give it about two weeks but here goes: I am not floored, and I was hoping I would be. At first blush they don't seem to be that much better than my memory of the ER-6's and I returned those. They put an incredible amount of pressure on my ear drums. They do not achieve a high...

just got my ETY 4P's, and I do not see any markings on the box or the phones. How do I know I definitely have the 4P's as oppesed to the 4S? Also which is right and left? I am assuming RED is right but let me know if I am wrong.

Well I just ordered them and I am very excited. I hope they are better than the ER-6's because I ordered those a few months ago and was not impressed; I eventually returned them.

do the Ety ER-4P's have any soundstage?

I have decided on the V-6's simply because for me they are more they are more versatile. Although I will definitely miss the soundstage of the 280's.

Here is what I set out to do: buy the best closed cans for under $100. I found the V6's at a local store (Fry's) for $79. When I put them on I was astonished at how much I loved them. They were driven easily from a portable, sounded even better through my home system, and had great bass...

I just got these today--$27 total with shipping and tax (if you're outisde CA there is no tax). I have had a very hard time finding these and just wanted to let you know. They had 8 left two days ago when I purchased mine. I have a pair of EX70's which I use at the gym, so I am curious to compare.

The only places I've found HP-V600 are yahoo Shopping $20 plus $15 shipping. Outpost.com ($!9 plus about $5 shipping) has them on backorder, but you could try. And I called Aiwa USA a month ago and they said they would get them in soon ($19 plus shipping). **The audiocubes' Aiwa's (VX-100) are...

Yes it does say that they ship in 2-3 days but I ordered them three weeks ago and I keep getting emails from amazon saying they don't have any in stock--I'm in the U.S.
