Proud Owner of iPod Classic 160 GB. I knew the axe on capacity was coming. Thank God I bought mine in time

Re: New iPods Announced
I don’t get it though. Why axe the higher capacity iPod?

Apple Brings in a New iPod Nano, Touch and the iPhone Software 2.1
by Milind Alvares
The rumours were spot on with this one, as Apple releases the iPod Nano 4G, the iPod Touch 2G, and to go along with that the iPhone software 2.1. The Macs were not even mentioned at the event.
The Nano departs from the fatty tag and goes back to the earlier long design, a stunning one at that. Featuring a curved body, a larger screen, and 9 different colours to choose from, the nano seems like an awesome upgrade. To add to that, it features a new spiced up UI, featuring the Genius Playlist feature introduced with iTunes 8. The nano also features an accelerometer for Coverflow mode and video. The nano comes in two sizes, 8GB and 16GB priced at $149 and $199 respectively. Read more…

Re: New iPods Announced
Hmmm... At first I thought the new Nano colours aren't all that great and looked more like a set of extra-large crayons than media players. But now I kinda like them.  Discontinuing the 160 GB Classic was silly though.

If you are a Windows user and have no iPod or iPhone then you have absolutely no reason to have iTunes installed on your PC.

I wonder. I Tried to switch to iTunes here (used it in Virtual Machine as I don't want more of Apple poop in my PC) & I had no reason to switch. Everything iTunes provide I already have with WMP11. Like I said, I don't have iPod or iPhone & I didn't find a reason to switch.
About WMA, Who says it's crappy???? Ever tried WAM 10.2 Pro (in WMP11). I don't know about ripping as I don't rip much but I get songs from various places in MP3 format which I convert to Wave first & then WMA 10.2 pro at 256 kbps.

Re: New iPods Announced
@gx_saurav.. yeah.. WMA Pro in WMA 11.. try ripping an audio CD in AAC 96kbps and WMA 96kbps.. and hear it with a good quality headphones.. you'll notice the difference.. i've huge collection of Audio CD's and I ripped them previously with WMA and when i tested AAC i liked it and switched to it..
No regrets with WMP 11 though.. its a huge improvement over WMA 10..

Nope. I keep them at mp3 only now. But my old songs are in 256 kbps WMA. The only portable media player I got is my K750i & for that I convert all songs in 128 kbps mp4 (sounds better then 128 kbps mp3). Since I m not an Audiophile, I can hardly tell the difference & yeah, I do have good quality headphones. (Philips SHP 8900)

Thats stupid. Converting MP3 to WMA 10.2 pro, even if you use wave in the middle, would result in actually a LOSS IN QUALITY. When you get audio in a certain low bitrate lossy format, its best to keep it the way it is. Or just download a copy ripped with your favourite encoder.
WMA 10.2 pro is for ripping directly from lossless sources like CDs, FLAC/WavPack, etc.
Remember: When it comes to audio, transcoding from lossy formats is EVIL.

Re: New iPods Announced
I think the discussion is about the new iPods and not WMP/WMA or MP3!
The new iPod Touch looks great.. and is good bargain for $229!!
