Mom has FINALLY figured hers out and has loaded many songs! Some which I purchased and then I took a few off some of my CD'S to test it out.

HERE IS MY ?

Some of the songs sound FINE..........Clear, Sharp, Loud, Bass is fine!

Some sound like CRAP ......almost staticy and not clear n sharp WTH Why is that?????

I would think that they should ALL transmit equaly Am I doin sumthin rong??????

HELP MOM WANT TO USE THIS MAGIC LITTLE BOX TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL!

OH and FYI this happens BOTH on my Car Stereo AND on the Boom Box

Because how you encoded it to AAC or MP3 at a higher bitrate than the one's that sound like crap?

but since you said all from CD Maybe there was something wrong for those songs in the syncing process.

 

or if they are burned CD's the quality won't be as high and to compress it more to load onto the ipod it will sound like crap.

 

(I have a 30GB Nomad... like an iPod) When you rip from CD use 128 or 160. Anything less than 128 and you will notice degradation in the quality.

 

might have to write that again in english for mom george.

 

There is a setting in "options" that allows you to change the sample rate from low numbers (Like 64) to higher numbers (like 160). The higher the number, the better the quality of mp3. I suggest 160 but lots of folks are plenty happy with 128.

If you want to see the sample rate on mp3s you already have you can do that with 'my computer'... just open the folder with your music in it, view as "Details" and right click the columns at the top (Name, Size, Type... etc) and choose "Bit Rate".
