I only use the rocker when I've got the screen off/locked.

Even though I'm using Shure SE530's I'm hoping the new Apple dual-driver remote headphones might end up being good as a 2nd pair for use when I'm out & about purely for the remote ability.

BUT

Are they also coming out with the remote cable type control where you can plug your own headphones into?

Now that is a good question. This is something I'd love as I can't really use IEM's, they cause me to have probs w/my ears.

One other thing, I know the regular iPods all can use the radio accessory. My question is can the Touch use it also? I'd love to be able to listen to the radio, and I also use the AOL & Pandora apps. I'm just not always in a location that has wi-fi.

The current one is not listed as compatable with the Touch but isn't the new one meant to also add radio support. May have miss-read & can't remember source of info now

Never had anything on the screen on my touch 1st gen and not one scratch or mark. I would imagine the second gen is the same type of glass. Hopefully the new nano also. I tried bse on my psp and it was pretty good, could never get all the bubbles out though. But the touch has any easier surface to apply to, so ti should be easier to smooth the bubbles out. Some pics of your applied bse would be nice

I have a silicone case on order but if the bse work good for you guys, I might go nude

I just went with a Power Support Anti-Glare Film for the 1st gen Touch. The back doesn't fit at all but the anti-fingerprint anti-glare front is nice.

I am really enjoying my 32gb 2nd Gen Touch. Sound quality is quite good in my opinion. I'm using Sennheiser PX100s and sometimes Shure E2Cs.

I'm running mine "naked" and this is one of the reasons I chose to upgrade from my 5th Gen iPod video. It feels good in my hand, slides in and out of my pocket with ease and I can hardly feel it in my pocket. I've been carying it around for about a week and I don't really see much in the way of scratching on the back side and the screen is pristine. Finger prints are pretty much a non issue because they end up getting wiped off while it's in my pocket, LOL!.

I highly recommend the device. It's a great music player/multimedia player with a ton of other cool functionality.

All you Touch owners, get the Remote app.

It's soooo cool.

i think you must have very baggy trousers. my pocket feels like it is ripped open when i use the touch inside

There seems to be a number of people having issues on apple's forum with apple lossless, and I'm trying to figure out if it's because of a real problem, or just stupid people trying to sync the new ipod with itunes 7, instead of the required version 8. I'm looking into purchasing a second generation touch next week, but 1/3 of my music library is lossless, so if anyone has tried using lossless files with a 2nd gen touch, it would help to hear your comments. Thanks in advance. --Eric

Yeah, I have a 32gb touch and most of my library is lossless. I get those audio dropouts all the time. Songs that aren't lossless are fine, so I guess I'll have to re-encode until Apple fixes this.

I'm thinking of getting one of these for now: Black Silicone case for iPod Touch 2nd Gen + Protector - eBay For Apple iPod, Cases, MP3, Digital Accessories, Electronics. (end time 27-Sep-08 00:00:25 AEST)

And than get a cool looking case when they eventually get released. Apple store I went to today said they should be getting cases in for the 2G touch either tomorrow or next week. They already had stuff in for the new nanos.

Oh yeah, they're charging $499 for TF10 as well....

It's just called 'Remote'.

lets you control itunes on your PC via the Touch.

I have an encode question. What sounds better: Mp3 256kbps VBR or ACC 256kbps VBR (thinking about dropping it to AAC 192kbps VBR)? I'm talking about encodes from FLAC, or ripping straight from CD. No mp3 to AAC crap.

 

[Dublo7]

AAC supposedly sounds nicer than mp3, but I doubt you could really tell the difference - I can't.

 

[shigzeo]

yeah: most of the difference would be placebo but there are those who could probably tell a difference. however, no encoder is perfect for every sample. mp3 can outperform any other lossy codec on certain samples and vica versa. i have never been disappointed with mp3 or aac. ogg and other for that matter too.
