Just had one arrive. Bought from Amazon. Was DOA (touching the jack causes the audio to become mono). Not happy. Going back in the morning.

Hi!

In response to ramintop:   Exactly the same thing happened to me. Just bought a X1060 used and couldn't get it to connect, but it would charge ok. Bought a new connection cable, and all was fine. Hope that helps.

Try Machinefabriek, Fennesz, Svarte Greiner. All excellent. Boomkat has an excellent selection of this kind of stuff, usually in lossless download as well. Boomkat - Your independent music specialist

Cowon A3 - no matter what I did, and irrespective of headphones used, I could never get a sound that I liked. Everything just sounded very bland, clinical, and with a strangely metallic 'sheen' to it that I hated.

you've got a pm

Just got an Ipod Touch, but was using Sony with mac until very recently. It was very hit and miss for me. Problems I found mostly connected to file name length, which is just absurd - sometimes made the player not read tags, let alone album art! I changed to using Media Monkey via windows on...

Love Bass Communion as well Some will disagree with me, but I love my Grado SR80 for ambient/drone kind of music. I've heard some say they think the Grado's are too forward for ambient, but personally they are my go to headphones for this style.

It's not legit. I'm on there, and there is no authorisation from the label I'm on.

Had it happen once, with e530. Stupidly put them in after I'd only just got out of the bath (i know... dumb thing to do). Had to get my ex-wife to pull it out with tweezers....

Pretty much anything by Scorn....

Too difficult to list 3 I couldn't live without, so here's 3 I'm currently listening to: Machinefabriek - Dauw Svarte Greiner - Kappe Lawrence English - Kiri No Oto All of which are simply amazing. Someone mentioned Hannu a couple of pages back. I must concur Just heard some of the...

Just get one external hard drive that's big enough to fit everything on, and keep in separate folders. Doesn't the offer on the 639 end on 24th December here in the UK? Not sure, but definitely think I saw it somewhere.

Have you tried Nero encoded AAC? I can ABX between quicktime aac and wav, but can't between Nero AAC (at the highest quality setting) and wav. But that's just me of course. But might be worth experimenting with.

drool..............

I tried this on my 2nd gen nano and it didn't work. Still had the same clipping, just that the track was then quieter..... I think the volume adjustment on the ipod is done after the eq phase.
