Audio Encoding Quality - ipod Nano

I am importing my music CD's into iTunes using the Apple Lossless Encoder setting to obtain the higher music quality.
When I am syncing my 7th generation iPod Nano, is it downloading the music into the player in the Apple Lossless Encoder format or is it defaulting back to the ACC encoder format?
Thank you for your assistance.

Unless you have turned on the option to convert everything to load it then it is using Apple Lossless.

What do I do to download an audio book to ipod nano

What do I do to download an audio book to ipod nano?

If you are currently using automatic syncing for the other media types, such as songs, you need to go to iPod's Books tab.
First, if you are using the latest version of iTunes, it may hide the sidebar. To show the sidebar, go up to the menu bar, and under View, select Show Sidebar.
Select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, there is a row of "tabs" that starts with Summary. One of those tabs is Books (if you currently have audiobooks in your iTunes library). On the Books tab, set it to Sync Audiobooks, and choose to sync All audiobooks or Selected audiobooks. If you choose the latter, checkmark the audiobooks you want to sync below. Apply the change.
If you use the manual method (not automatic syncing) to load songs, by dragging songs from the iTunes library to the iPod in the sidebar, you can do the same with audiobooks. Find them under Books in the iTunes library, and drag the ones you want to the iPod in the sidebar.

When listening to an audio book the ipod nano (6th generation) keeps turning off?

Help! I just purchased an ipod nano (6th generation) for the sole purpose of listening to audio books. When I start a book about 20 seconds into it the screen goes dark and the ipod stops...then I have to turn the on/off switch on to begin the book again. I'm sure it has something to do with the settings, but I cannot locate the information I need in the ipod manual. Any help anyone can give me would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I saw your other post, but thought I would reply here as well. It is all about getting that headset seated all the way. If you can see any silver of the plug, it is not in far enough. Push harder. If it just won't go in, look in there to see if it is blocked. The bottom of the headset port is white, so if it appears all dark at the bottom... something is in there.

Sound Quality ipod nano

I have recently bought an ipod nano having had a Sony hard drive walkman for a few years. The sound quality and memory size of the Sony was amazing, but if the unit moves too much it freezes so I decided to change to ipod.
I am really happy with the ipod apart from the sound quality with some of my songs.
A couple of albums (such as Andrea Bocelli) crackle during certain songs when played on the ipod even with the equalizer off or flat. They do not do this when played throught the computer with the same headphones, and I have tried recording the albums in different formats and frequencies. The majority of my albums play without any distortion.
Is there some way to overcome this?

I have had such an experience while listening to "Il Divo". I think you might have to play a round with the equalizer. It probably affects operatic songs.

Audio Encoding Quality

Hi guys,
What is the best audio format for storing a big music DJ library on iTunes and be sure of having a good: Sound Quality/ with smaller possible file size? (without affecting the quality that i have to play arounds my sets?
1 Aiff?
2 Apple Lossless?
3 Acc 320?
4 Acc 256?
is that rank correct?
Thanks in advance

In terms of quality, that's basically correct though AIFF and Apple Lossless will be sonically identical. In terms of file size, that list would go from largest file size to smallest, if that's what you mean.
If you want true CD quality, go for Apple Lossless. That will give you a file sonically identical to the original CD but at about half the file size from the original.
If you want a compromise between file size and sonic quality, AAC at 320kbps will probably not be for most people be sonically distinguishable from the original CDs unless you have a really high-quality playback system and the environment is quiet (i.e. not your usual dance party).
But I'd suggest that you import a few representative CDs at the various rates, set up a representative system, and take a listen for yourself, perhaps with the help of a few friends. Then you can decide what works for you in your setup and usage.
Regards.

IPod Nano Output to Projector: Video Quality

Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy a few iPod Nano's to use when we play video montages to our clients via LCD projector. Before I buy a bunch of these, I'd like to know what the output video quality will be. These are simple slideshow's created on iMovie and currently, we burn a dvd and simply connect the video out from the dvd player to the projector.
I'd like to simplify this by putting the video on a Nano, then connecting it to our LCD projector. Will I get similar results as with the DVD?
Thanks!

The audio/optical out port will accept the tonslink miniplug for digital out only. You can also use the port for 1/8 " headphones without the miniplug. The video out is on the otherside, its the DVI port. The macbookpro comes with a DVI to VGA adapter. You should hook up your projector to the DVI or the VGA. If you projector does not have DVI or VGA you can adapt from VGA to RCA.

No audio on video on just iPod Nano and Clasic

Hi Folks,
I have recently ran into an issue that has me a bit confused. I have had a couple viewers of our video podcast complain that they are unable to hear the audio on thier devices, it plays fine in iTunes just not on their iPod. One is viewing on an 5th gen. iPod Nano and the other on a 2nd gen iPod Classic. The confusing part is that I have tested on an iPod Touch and iPad and I am not experiencing the issue on those devices.
The issue popped up when we changed over our encoding hardware from an Elgato to a Matrox MXO2LE using their MAX technology. However, the files are being encoded the same way, ACC LC at 128Kbps. The only noticeable difference was that the Elgato was encoding at 44.1kHz and the MAX at 48kHz. As far as I can tell both are supported on the iPods.
Any thoughts?
Mike

I'm afraid I have no experience of video on any iPod: could I suggest you ask in the iPod Forum where you could very possibly get someone to test the actual files.

My iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by iTunes. I did update, but still, it won't work. I don't want to uninstall the iTunes cos I don't want to lose my music and audio books. What to do? It started after I updated iTunes.

Ipod nano 4gb and car audio

Hi everyone, I've got an iPod Nano 4gb and am a little confused as to what is required to connect this device to my factory installed cd player. I drive a 2006 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab and have the basic factory audio system. I spoke with the dealership where I purchased the truck and they said that I need an interface and harness for $400 + labor. I don't think that is an option for me -- way too expensive.
What exactly is need to connect my iPod Nano to my truck's audio system? Do I need to purchase a new audio device that supports the iPod?
Thanks

The following website will list different types of car audio devices made for iPods. I hope it lists something that may help you.

Ipod nano 7th GEN no audio out from head phones jack

I am trying to use my Ipod nano 7th Gen with a monster wireless remote that connects to the charging and sync connection. The remote works fine and I can control the Ipod just fine with it, but when I connect the headphones to the headphone jack there is no audio. If I remove the wireless remote receiver from the charging sync connection the headphones jack works just fine. I am using a lighting speed to a 30 pin adaptor because the monster remote receiver is of the 30 pin format if that matters.
Please let me know if this is normal or if there is a work around. My intention is to use the Ipod connected to a motorcycle sound system using the headphones connection to connect it to the motorcycle system amp and control the Ipod wirelessly.
Thank you!

Can you provide a link to the monster product, or the model name/number? If it's a Bluetooth product, it seems superfluous to connect the receiver to the dock connector, because the 7th gen nano has built in Bluetooth.
So, IF the remote control device is Bluetooth, you may be able to pair to it from the nano without connecting the receiver device to the dock connector.
If it's not Bluetooth, you may be able to find an equivalent remote control device that IS Bluetooth, and not need to connect anything to the dock connector, which seems to be the source of the problem.

IPod Nano + Sony personal audio system - how to get radio to play?

We got a Sony RDP-M7iPN personal audio system - that's a good thing.
But the iPod Nano won't play radio if the headphones aren't plugged in. When it's docked on the Sony system, it won't play radio and there's no way to get a headphone jack plugged in (no room).
Is there something we're missing? Or is there some adapter we need? Any thoughts?

Go on to System Preferences and open the Bluetooth icon. Ensure that the SRS-X2 speaker is switched on and next to the Macbook; press down on the Bluetootch icon that is above "pairing" on the speaker and keep pressing it down until it beeps; your Macbook should now be able to find the speaker and you can click pair to pair the two together.

Help! 2nd gen. ipod nano audio output not balanced

anyone knows what the problem of my ipod nano? while i was listening suddenly there was no audio output on the right earphone. i restarted it at least 5 times, even changed to another earphone. then after a few hours i tried to test it again and the right earphone works again but volume is much lower than the left earphone.
i dropped it at least about 2 months ago, could it be the cause?
will apple warranty work on my unit?

First off, be sure that you've fulle connected the headphones/ear buds to the iPod correctly. I know it's a simple thing, but sometimes is accidentally looked over, and can be the cause of this type of issue.
Next, I wold suggest that you restore your iPod.
If a restore doesn't help, and you're iPod is still under the 1-year warranty, I would suggest that you send your iPod in to get it repaired/replaced. Apple could possibly cover for it witht he warranty (although I can't guarantee it).
You can place an iPod service request online here -> iPod Service
Most likely, if a restore doesn't help your situation, then it's an internal sound problem with the iPod that will have to be replaced by Apple.
