There's a reason most people pick off...

iTunes is not a player - its a Media Library

I want to hear reasons for your statement

Most Head-Fi'ers loath EQ'ing in any form. (Ipod and Itunes just happens to be one of the most poorly programmed ) I personally feel it's a good tool. and just like any tool you have to learn to use it. You can't say that "I love my EF-1 with my new Mullard tubes", or "these ALO cables really make my HD650's sing" and then fault other for using EQ to change the music the way they llike best.

Not personaly directed at you Grawk !!!!!

 

[grawk]

Whether you like EQ or not is one thing, but the EQ in the ipod is there as an afterthought, and sounds terrible.

 

[boomy3555]

Agreed, but sometimes to have to work with what you got. Hopefully someday one of the automatic updates will come with a user adjustable EQ setting

 

[grawk]

I'd be surprised if they did. The EQ has been terrible for long enough now it's obviously not a concern.

Kinda like the new shuffle with the "Our earbuds Only" user interface

Huh..?

VLC is media software. The OP was asking about iPods NOT iTunes.

I like Acoustic, makes my IE7s a bit more bright while keeping the impact of the bass. Sounds similar to it being off, but more full...

With my current portable setup I prefer treble boost.

• iMod 4th gen iPod Photo
• sound files "normalized" at conservative level so as to support EQ (iVolume)
• RSA Tomahawk
• ATH-ESW9 or Shure E500 with custom Sensaphonics sleeves

"Lounge" gives me a live, studio feel when listening to my trance & progressive collection (majority of which are 320kbps) on the new classic 160. I'm currently using the SF5Pro's and find myself fiddling with the EQ settings too often, since without the EQ the sound seems too soft, and under most of the other EQ settings, I find the treble too high, or the sound too soft again. I've used "Bass Booster" for quite a long time, until I began to notice more rattling than I did kick. It also depends on the bitrate of course, at least from what I've experienced.

when i had an ipod i kept the eq off if it is with stock firmware. if i had it under rockbox (which i did for like the last 3-4 months i owned an ipod before i change my mp3 player) i just changed increased the bass a couple of db and kept the rest the same
