Self Adjustable EQ for the I-Touch
I asked this over at the Apple I-Pod Touch group, but expectedly got
no replies because the people who use apple products probably wouldn't even know what an equalizer IS: I currently own a 16gigabyte Sandisk Sansa View - the ULTIMATE I-Pod killer. It has all the best features of all brands of mp3 players out there in ONE machine, but it has a glaring technical foul: it freezes up and jams up when placed in "shuffle" mode. With that in mind I am seriously considering a Touch based upon the responses to my questions. I know there are EQ apps out there for the touch that allow one to tweak their own sound instead of using one of Apple's notorious presets. I have read everywhere about how EQ curves can be applied to specific songs in i-tunes or on the player itself, yata yata yata, but . . All I want is GLOBAL graphic EQ. That is, I can set the EQ any way I want, while music is playing or not, and forget it! Does this exist in the I-Touch world? Thanks, ChrisCoaster |

You mean you are happy to dump the "ULTIMATE I-Pod killer" and spend more money just because you can't use shuffle mode! Hell I'd rather just use playlists anyway!!! Trevor. |

Having such a fault definitely disqualifies it as an iPod killer. I have one. It's got an additional problem - It took me like three minutes wandering through the menus to find the volume control. No way this little gadget counts as an iPod killer in any way shape or form. I even use a spare set of iPod ear buds with mine for the better sound isloation. But it was cheap and it plays audiobooks in chapter order just fine. It's easy to tell it to repeat the chapter that it just finished. And that's all I expect from it - Audiobooks in chapter order with trivial replay of the last chapter for use while I am in the gym on the quieter half of the machines. Hardly an iPod killer. It's inexpensive (which is why I bought it) for a reason. It's cheap. But it does what I want it to for my specific application. |

Please help me understand this! It's that BIG BLUE lit up wheel on the front. Remarkably, the freezing up in shuffle is the ONLY issue I've had with these. Others are reporting, in addition... - Won't turn on - Can't find their music(!) - Left(or right) channel cuts out - Windows will "see" only one storage area(either the View itself OR the SD card! - if so installed) - Unit crashes during uploading of music, videos,etc. - Add your miseries here! I have noticed a tendency for the View to not display image with music(Album art??) on some mp3s I know have it. But that's a minor concession. It drives headphones you would think would need an amp, decently, and the EQ allows me to approximate a pretty DAMN GOOD EQUAL LOUDNESS CONTOUR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! - psych, I'm not yelling - just my warped sense of humor. And my recharge cycle is still *almost* as long as it was out of the box(8 months ago). -CC |
