Music quality control

I have noticed that the sound quality of a few songs and albums I have downloaded from my collection to my iPod are fuzzy or distorted. One of the albums is a brand new Delux Addition of the Moody Blues "Days Of Future Passed" which is mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound.
Two questions:
1. Is it possible to adjust the download levels?
2. Can the song quality deteriorate with time on the iPod?
Thanks,
Bob

are they songs in mp3 format? if so that might be your issue.. you can use different formats for better sound quality. I do not think the sound quLity would go down after use of an ipod. someone correct me if I am wrong.

except this major point i must admit the quality is quite good , but a bick lack of quality control and a customer disapointed at the end.
On the internet site it is not possible to send it back. So apple doesn't want to take in account that they mail sometimes fail, and want to satisfy their customer, because you have no other choice that accepting it.
best regards

Yes it is returnable.

That's for the US, there's a similar one for your country.

Image display QUALITY controll bar/change/modifi

Hello
the bridges display quality of jpegs and raw images is awfull!!!
i see blockiness in all of my images, how can i watch my photos like this??
there is no crispness!
u should made a picture display quality controll bar like speed-------quality
so the user can select!

Frosti,
This request has been made many times. The development team are aware of the need for 100% previews. However, such a feature, if provided, will not be available until at least Bridge 2. Based on previous upgrade cycles that would be late 2006, at earliest. In the meantime you might consider providing more information on the type of images you're trying to preview (i.e. Raw, JPG, etc).
Also, I would suggest that you soften the tone of your comments otherwise you'll find yourself with Read Only access.

Quality control? crashes, performance, image quality...

I like to functionality of new lightroom, but once more I have to say: what about quality control? even after 2.1 this prog is a beta-version at best:
- performance: slower than a mountain duck
- image quality: adjustment-brush not ready for prime time
- stability: lightroom crashes more often in one day than all other programs together in one year.
summary: very poor quality control and very poo customer.

I understand your frustration. I too love LR's functionality but I've had a nightmare with it, particularly since 2.1. I have a high specified machine; Q6600, 4GB RAM, ATI 4850, XPsp3. LR constantly crashes.(the only program that does so) No Virus checker, Latest GFX driver, etc.
My main Issue-The Develop Module, After 30-45 mins usage.
(No difference whether it's my H3D-39 or 1DS mkIII files.)
In v1.0 I used to get an upside down red out of memory error.
I had to quit and restart to resolve.
In v2.0 unfortunately things got worse. The red OOM message was gone but unfortunately this was replaced by a gray area where the image should've been. I had to quit and restart to resolve.
I read that the problem in the develop module had been fixed in 2.1, seemingly it was attributable to a memory leak? Guess what?
Still a gray area where the image should be, sometimes preceded by the image flipping 180deg. I have to quit and restart to resolve.
Task manager confirms some odd things going on with memory.
I cannot use 2.1 with confidence, particularly so in front of my clients. It's not solid enough.

My ipod touch 4 music quality is much poorer with IOS 6 upgrade. How can I get IOS 5 music quality back?

No available eq setting is acceptable.
Right now, I feel like driving a nail through it.

Me again. I cleaned out the headphone jack with a q-tip soaked with rubbing alcohol. Most of the q-tip fibre was removed to be able to insert it into the jack. After pushing and turning fairly vigorously for a half minute, I pulled it out and a large piece of pocket lint came out with it as well. The Ipod now sounds excellent.

Cant able to change music from control center

I am not able to change music from control center infact when the ipod is locked even then i am not able to change tracks,even pause and play not working this happed after i updated to ios 7....

Can you play music from control center when your iPod is unlocked?
Have you:
Resetted your iPod?
Restored your iPod?

Resuming podcasts or music from Control Center is buggy

I listen to podcasts using Podcasts.app a lot in the car, and most of the time it resumes normally, especially if it hasn't been too long since I paused it. But intermittently it will kind of freak out and either not resume anything, or resume playing a random music track. From what I can tell, it is more likely to happen if the track data is empty when I pull up the Control Center. If the track info is blank when I pull it up, it is pretty much a toss-up about what it will play back. If it plays the wrong thing back, I have to go back into the Podcasts app and restart the track.
This actually happened to me with the Podcasts.app in iOS 6 on my 4S as well, and as a result I deleted it and never used it. With my 5S and iOS 7 that is no longer an option.
Anyone have any experience with this issue?

I am using Bose AE2 headphones. The music quality is far superior when I listed on a PC than on the isphone5. Also, the volume is also considerably less. Is it something that I am doing wrong.

I am using Bose AE2 headphones. The music quality is far superior when I listed on a PC than on the isphone5. Also, the volume is also considerably less. Is it something that I am doing wrong.

There are quite a few possibilities.
The quality difference may simply be the lower volume. Hearing is not linear with volume.
How much power do the headphones require? Possibly your computer can provide greater power output than the iPhone.
Some Bose headphones have a volume compensation switch somewhere. On my QC3 its on the adapter plug at the headphone end. You have to unplug it from the headphones to find it.
Do you have volume limits enabled in the iPhone settings/Music?
Are the equalization settings the same on your computer and your iPhone?
Do you have Sound Check enabled on music that is synced to the iPhone?
Have you checked "Convert higher bit rate songs..." in iTunes on your computer?

Inconsistent keyboard backlighting: quality control oversight or design issue?

I'm on my second MBA in two weeks--the first unit was returned because of a noisy hinge. On both machines I noticed that one of the lighted keys are dimmer than others. The left Command key is dimmer than the right. I noticed a similar problem with my first machine except it was the Option keys. Again, left key slightly dimmer than the right.
Just curious if there's anyone out there who just bought a new MBA who can report the same. Is this a quality control oversight or a design problem...
I likely won't return this one because of this minor oversight, but my opinion about quality control is this: if you can't get the little things right, how can we be confident you got the big things right. Glad I purchased Apple Care.

I know what you mean about quality control. However, you may want to try two things before you return it:
1. Rub around the dead pixel. Google this method and you'll find more details. Sometimes the pixels can be restored to life.
2. Put a small piece, or layered pieces, of electrical tape in the battery slot to fill in the gap. I've often done this with my apple laptops and it works perfectly. Once, when I was at the genius bar, the genius commented " Oh, good that you put the tape there and not over here like a lot of people do..." indicating that this is very common.
Should you have to? No, of course not! But if your computer is otherwise good, I would definitely try these potential solutions.
I'm afraid this is what quality control has come to. It's the same throughout the electronics industry and apple is no exception. The only company I've never had an issue with is Sony, but maybe I've just been lucky?

MB Quality Control

My MB is just under 11 months old and I've now had two problems that I've had corrected under AppleCare. The first, about 2 months ago was a problem with the MagSafe input. That resulted in shipping the unit out of state for the fix which took about 3 days to fix.
The second problem happened last week when the Super Drive stopped working and rejected all DVD's/CD's after a couple of minutes of whirling. This problem was corrected locally at my Apple Store and took 2 days to swap out the Super Drive. Since I've had the computer, I've used the optical drive only a few times without any problems. I have noted that I would occasionally hear a whirling sound while the computer was in the sleep mode and figured this was nothing to worry about although it did seem strange to hear the drive whirling up when there was no DVD/CD in the unit.
While I can't say enough about how good the AppleCare service has been, I wonder about the quality control and durability of my MB which by the way, mostly stays in my living room. I think I've only had it out of the house less than 6 times so it's not getting "banged around".
Based on my experience as stated above, about a week ago I signed up for another 2 years of AppleCare. While generally I don't subscribe to the idea of buying extended warranty plans, I think it's a wise idea to get it for Apple computers (if you're going to keep them more than a year). Even if you don't keep them a year, the extended warranty should be a big selling point when you do get ready to upgrade.

Better Quality Control

Hi I am email you on not hearing from from LULU for no approx 5 days as a result of the recent order 16811326. I have made the size correct. I have uploaded the the work and received a proof book.
On page 2 8 and 10 has a whiter boarder. All the pages were uploaded as on separate pdf so my questions why do I still have a white boarder. I confirmed the page sides with, is name Jesoph?
Please on any further orders can we have better quality control? If all other pages have a white border I could understand but only those 3. I am writing in a controlled manner asking if you can be good enough to respond to my email

Hello Esmee
It sounds as some of your pages may not have the correct full bleed settings. I am sure someone from our print team will respond to your support request shortly. Please keep in mind that we work M-F from 8-5.

Quick music player controls

How do I access the music player controls from the lock screen? I've done it on accident a few times, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Hey. Just got a solution that worked for me.
Try watch a random video then press back. The Music Controls is not there anymore until you open a song.
Hope it helps you.
If I have helped you in any way, give me a kudos!

Newbie here...er..has something gone wrong with Apples quality control..!?

Hi, this is my first post here. I am on my second apple computer, first was a 12inch iBook in 2004 which my partner now has as I went and bought a shiny new macbook in June. When I bought my first apple computer I was a very happy switcher from pc's, I loved my iBook, and learnt mac osx on Panther Lots of fun with movies, photo's and iTunes. The ibook never crashed, never stopped doing what it was supposed to, and never got too hot or made barnyard impressions! So I was looking forward to the upgrade to Tiger, iLife 6 et al when I took delivery of the macbook. And I trusted Steve Jobs and the crew at Cupertino to carry on the the good work and provide the quality hardware and software that I had been trying to persuade all my pc friends to buy into....but...it has all gone horribly wrong. My macbook is at this very moment as I type getting hotter by the second and there is a herd of cows on my desk mooing away. Every now and then..bang.. ramdon shutdown. And every now and then it won't shut down when I want it to. Now I know from the discussion boards that I am not alone with this and that apple issued a fix for the overheating, but then on top of this, I see that iTunes 7 has lots of problems as does the new v10.4.8 update. I am still a mac fan, and I want to stay loyal as I can't bare the thought of going back to pc's, but hey, I just really hope that if there are some quality control issues rearing an ugly head that Mr Jobs remembers that we still have a choice. I'm holding off from downloading the updates until the bugs are fixed, and I will hold off from buying my new 24 inch iMac until I am sure that there are no gremlins with it...and I should not have to be doing this with Macs. Or so I was lead to believe!
Sorry if my first post sounds a little negative but I just want to enjoy being a mac owner again!

So I'm guessing that your reliable iBook (the one that never crashed or stop doing what it was supposed to do) wasn't one the first generation of iBooks that Apple made that had the logic board problem that caused Apple to extend the warranty out to 3 years, right?
http://www.apple.com/support/ibook/faq/
My point is that your iBook was as good as it was based on the fact that Apple made mistakes on (and learned from) previous generation iBooks.
Now you buy a first generation product (where Apple's had no chance to learn from previous mistakes because there haven't been any previous mistakes as this is brand-spanking stuff for them) and you're expecting it to be as good as the fifth or sixth generation product that you're replacing.
Where is the logic in that?
To me, what matters is how well the manufacturer can address the issues. And although I'm not impressed with the speed at which Apple has dealt with some of the MacBook issues, as it stands (and as far as I know) they've corrected all of them so far. New ones are being manufactured that don't have the issues, and Apple will repair any older MacBook that was manufactured before production was changed. This is more that I can about my experience with my first-year Honda Element.
Perhaps this is why Windows laptops rarely have huge innovative design changes like Apple made going from the iBook to the MacBook. Most manufacturers don't want to have to deal with the subsequent risks.
I don't think it's wrong to expect a lot from Apple, but I also don't think that you can ignore the logic of the situation.

Music quality in iPhone

Guys, I use my minidisc and iPhone intermittently to listen to music. I must say the sound quality in minidisc is better. Iphone cannot handle high bass.
Does anyone agrees?

god i remember using a minidisk player. that was the coolest player i had before i started going with mp3 players. but i digress.
music quality depends completely on the bitrate used to store it, plus the quality of the medium used to get the music from. if the CD used to get the music is scratched or otherwise damaged, the music won't play well.
the highest bitrate i have seen for mp3's is around 320 kilobits per second. (320 * 60 / 8 = 2.4MB/s) the problem is that this equals about 2.4 megabytes per minute of music, assuming i did the math right. if you have 2000 songs with an average length of 4 minutes, that's 19.2 GIGABYTES of data.
a good bitrate i use for music storage is 192kb/s. it gives you good quality without using a ton of space. i also use a variable bitrate setting if it's available. variable bitrate is awesome because if the song has a lot of stuff going on, it will automatically increase the bitrate used to keep the quality high, while if little or nothing is going on, it will decrease the bitrate to nothing to save space.
in order to save space on my iPhone for the amount of music and video i like to have available, i have decreased the bitrate on my music to 128kb/s, which is the minimum i would ever use. all of my music that used to take about 10 gigabytes of space now only takes about 6.5, so you can easily see the space savings.
