How's the audio quality for the touch?

Topic. Also, can the Touch handle high bitrate files; eg. 192 - 320 kbps? With my nano, I've noticed that songs with high bitrates sounds abit distorted. Examples would be Forever by Chris Brown and Don't Stop the Music by Rihanna.
I should also mention that I didn't notice this "distortion" with my Creative ZEN. So, is the audio quality the same or better than the Creative ZEN/Zen X-Fi?
Need these questions answered before I decide to buy a Touch. Thanks guys!

Hi,
Yes, I have a lot of CD's ripped at 320Kbps (160 per channel stereo) through iTunes and they work fine.
Very difficult to compare "sound quality" with other devices I have not heard, even then it is down to personal taste and ear phones etc.
All I can say is using my Touch with Sennheiser CX300's and a Creative X Dock, I have no complaints, to me it sounds great.
Maybe go to an Apple store and test one out, there is also a 14 day return period.
Good luck,
Dud.

  • Is there settings to improve the camera quality for the galaxy 5

    are there settings on the camera of a galaxy 5 for that will improve the camera quality?

        Hey daninz23, I know that device has a great camera and we want to make sure that you are familiar with all the settings, so you can make the most of the device. You would be able to change the camera resolution by opening the application and pressing the gear icon. That will open the Camera settings and from here you can change many of the camera settings, but for better quality you can change the Picture Size or resolution.

  • IDVD won't play the audio right for the movie

    Hi.
    I'm having a problem with iDVD 6. I made a movie I want to burn on DVD. The sound is fine on iMovie, but when I previewed it on iDVD 6 it was messed up. Does anyone know what to do?
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I'm having the same problem and "glad" to see this is not an isolated problem. An iPhoto slideshow sent to iDVD with the same music works fine but not if I turn the iPhoto slideshow into an iMovie (I wanted a variety of transitions, titles, etc. that iMovie permits) and then transfer it to iDVD. The sound appears to be playing at a slow speed.
    However, I discovered that if I first transfer the iMovie file to Garageband in iLife6 and then transfer it to iDVD from Garageband that the sound track is working again. It takes a lot of time to do these transfers so if anyone has discovered why some of us have a problem in transferring from iMovie5 or iMovie6 to iDVD5 or iDVD6 I would appreciate an answer. I had hoped iLife6 would solve my problem but it hasn't.

  • How to improve audio quality

    I got the 8GB Nano as a gift. I already had good headphones -- Shure eC4's. The audio quality from the Nano is not as good as what I get off my laptop. Fooling around with the EQ settings gives a small improvement but overall the quality off the laptop still beats the Nano. Most of my tunes were ripped at 192 using Musicmatch several years ago. Did iTunes somehow transfer these to my Nano at 128? What is the default rip rate under iTunes? Can I change it? Or is the audio quality on the Nano just mediocre to begin with?
    Thanks for any advice you can give me.

    You must re-import everything at the new bitrate of 192kbps. You can clear your iTunes first before doing this to ensure there are no duplicate files.
    The info contained in the other post is wrong. You cannot just sync your iPod at the new bit rate you selected, this will change nothing.
    When you imported your CDs at 128kbps, a lot of info was lost from the original CD. This is how compression works. Put simply, when importing the songs iTunes discards any info that you cannot hear in order to make the file size smaller. That info can consist of anything such as frequencies that the human ear cannot hear (but which may affect harmonics). The theory being that if the ear cannot hear it, it's of no use.
    Once imported into iTunes at 128kbps, increasing the bitrate to 192kbps without importing the CD all over again will not replace the info that was lost originally because it was discarded and cannot be recovered, and it will not improve the sound quality of your already imported files.
    If sound quality is important to you, import the CDs again at the new bitrate.

    how can i hold a spot in a clip, let the audio continue for a moment and then resume the clip and audio together?

    you want to use the retiming tool. you can select what you want to hold, then use the "Hold" command (shift-H) to create a single frame of a default duration, which you can then change to whatever length you want by dragging the retiming handle.
    Here's the page in the help manual that describes the hold feature in detail:
