Indeed. I always turn the EQ off - I notice the touch sounds worse with it on, while the classic sounds nice and crisp with or without it. These latest iPods just don't seem to have much quality control having gone into it. I'm sure you remember the classics at first and every problem they had. 2.1 software is still crap - Safari crashes whenever it feels like it, the music player stutters badly and apart from that, the screen sometimes doesn't work.
Plus, some of the songs I have are so quiet - you'd think iTunes would be able to increase their volume. Nope - too bloody quiet.
