Well said. I agree 100%. It's a great product made of substandard material. I know it will get scratched - I'm not worried about that. Just didn't think it would get this scrat…

i put packing tape (that thick clear stuff you use on boxes) on the back, and left the original sticker on the front. then i trimmed it so the back piece folded over and protected …

I'd like to add that these do not ship with any type of pouch, bag or clip. It's just the clear film that I removed thinking it was "for shipping purposes only." Ibid, a $249 devic…

Please everybody stop getting so worked up, it's a music device, it's about functionality. If you want you can get some sticky paper and cut out a sticker over it, as for me I just…

If you only want 'functionality' then apple is not the way to go. there are other players with radio, recording etc that offer more functionality. Apple sells its products because …

It may say it somewhere, but I haven't found it. What kind of format is music saved as, on iTunes? Is there a way to better compress each song such as in mp3 format or such? If t…

Thanks for all that info! So I need to change the format of the songs to be able to store more of them right or is it not that serious? How do I do that? Is there some type of so…

You can do it right through iTunes. But keep in mind, if you are converting from one lossy format to another (ie MP3 to AAC), there will be a noticeable deterioration of the sound …

FYI: A 128kbps AAC will have the same file size as a 128kbps MP3 unless you start talking new-fangled VBR encoding, etc. Unless you're incredibly intent on getting exactly 1000 s…
