1. Is that even with the EU restrictions? It is a bloody loud thing - it uses a different audio chipset (Wolfson) than what the classic uses (Cirrus Logic).

    Yep mine is restricted but massively loud. As loud as my 4th gen.

    Found another more major fault. It skips when playing apple lossless files!!! Whats that all about

    Confirmed the first-gen doesn't do it. Possibly the new hardware they used for the second-gen has caused the issue and software isn't written to handle it properly yet (which you think it would). I hope it's not another early-adopter classic case.

    I was having problems earlier. Albums that fade in were coming out all static and full of dead noise. Turns out Foobar had been configured to rip MP3s as 8-bit stereo hybrid, and apparently the touch struggles with 8-bit lossy audio and so does my laughable computer audio setup, so I changed it to 16-bit stereo - all is well now.

    Luckily I had them as WAV files ripped already, just do them back to 192 MP3.

    Alright, I'll be back probably tomorrow - it's getting a bit late. Night all!
  4. Converting all that lossless is gonna be a bastard.


  5. Use DBpowerAmp, it has a feature to convert a whole folder or disk or whatever to whatever you want. I love it, it can convert 30 lossless shows into lossy in 10 minutes with my 4 processors.


  6. I could do with saving the space to though so might be worth the while


  7. lol..........


  8. Alrighty. You do it like this:


    Download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mt3amqhmzzl (170Kb)

    From Cydia, if you don't have it already, download Poof. This hides icons on your springboard (main application screen).

    SSH with WinSCP to your iPod and look for the /Applications folder. Drop and drag the blank apps to that folder, so you should have Blank.app, Blank1.app and so on.

    Reset your iPod, turn it back on and back in Poof, there should be some blank apps, toggle them on or off. Now drag them around and put your icons wherever you like. You can have an entirely empty top row, or just a few icons after doing this.
