Stereo playback in IPOD nano

I got a new ipod and when i play a song on it the stereo seems to be not playing properly. the same song when played on my PC has that stereo playing so very well.
By stereo i mean sound which can be differenciated between Left ear an right Ear. Does IPOD nano (3rd gen) not support stereo playback. help me if any setting changes ave to be made for this to take effect.

  • Stereo playback for iPod shuffle?

    Does anyone know if the iPod shuffle plays back in stereo? Iron Maiden just doesn't sound right, without the guitars coming out off each side!

    Any powered speakers will work with the Shuffle or you can connect to a receiver/amp/etc. with a mini-jack to RCA cable.
    If you search the threads I posted a link awhile back about a speaker set made for the Shuffle.

  • Crossfade Playback on iPod/nanoPod?

    Is Crossfade Playback on iPod/Nano possible?
    If not, why?

    Yes, Yes, a thousand times yes...sort of...
    Ok here was my problem. I agreed to "DJ" my mother-in-law's 70th Bday celebration. I set up my playlist in itunes and thought my ipod could crossfade. OOPS..it can't (at least not yet).
    Not being one not to accept the limitations of technology (we must not let computers or their makers limit our creativity), and being cheap and not willing to buy additional hardware or software, I set upon a journey to solve this pressing global issue.
    Here's a pretty lengthy but effective way to simulate the Crossfade effect on a playlist (hint: it helps if you know a little about imovie):
    1) Create your playlist in itunes
    2) Open imovie and import the tracks
    3) Alternate the tracks between the 2 available audio tracks
    4) Edit each track fade in and out as necessary by overlapping individual tracks and if necessary usiing the volume adjustment faders in imovie. It takes a little practice but you'll be mixin' like a pro in no time.
    5) Export to quicktime. Imovie requires video to export, so instead of video I added a 1 second picture from my iphoto library.
    6) I downloaded freeware from versiontracker called "Extract Movie Soundtrack" and ran the program to remove the video from my quicktime file and created a aiff.
    7) Import the aiff file into itunes and TAA DAA..you have a playlist with the crossfade you have created and always wanted.
    I do hope that Apple includes crossfade in a future update of ipod software.
    Goodluck and happy ipodding.

  • Recording Audio with iPod Nano - Request Software Stereo Monitor

    I'm posting this message hoping that an Apple employee will read it...
    The iPod Nano used in conjunction with the Belkin TuneTalk Stereo adapter turns the Nano into an excellent solid-state 16bit / 44.1KHz digital audio recorder. However, there is no visual indication that audio is being recorded on the Nano when recording is initiated - no stereo audio monitor with a volume indicator bar for the left & right channels is present. Most audio recording applications provide a left & right stereo volume indicator bar to display real-time audio clipping or low input volume... colored green at the bottom, yellow near the top, and red at the very top for audio clipping when the input volume is too loud.
    While I understand that the main purpose of the iPod is for audio playback, I would ask Apple to include a stereo audio monitor in an upcoming iPod software update (soon). Perhaps as a starting point, you can borrow code for the live equalizer monitor that appears at the top of the iTunes window when the little right-arrow is pressed in the virtual LCD screen area.
    While I have had no problems to date recording on the iPod Nano, it would be reassuring to know that the device is actually recording audio. It would be unfortunate to record an hour-long interview believing everything is fine, but then discover that no audio had been recorded. The presence of a stereo audio monitor would help deter this fear.
    Thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Jaspo

  • Ipod Nano 4g not recognised by car stereo system

    I have recently purchased a new design Vauxhall Astra. One of the extras available was a USB connection which stated on the original advertising leaflet that it was fully Ipod compatible. Upon getting the car home I was eager to try out my Ipod Nano 4th generation. Initially nothing happened when I plugged it in via the USB socket. I then thought to switch on the auxiliary button, this responded with the message "no auxiliary connected". I then thought maybe I should switch on the Ipod. That was when the real trouble started, everything went dead. That was when I decided I had better check the car handbook. It was only then that I discovered the list of compatible Ipods and guess what every one was listed except for the 4g. I disconnected the Ipod, which although initially only showed the Apple logo, I was able to make it work normally. As for the car stereo system everything works fine except for the auxiliary switch, this still remains dead. The car is going back to the dealership on Wednesday for them to try to find out what is wrong, in the meantime is there anyone out there that can shed any light on this problem.

    At last, Vauxhall have come up with the solution. It seems that the fact the original advertising literature not mentioning the 4G was an error as they are all compatible. Apparently to make the system work it is essential to have the engine running before you make the USB connection. If you do not have the engine running the system becomes confused and therefore shuts down completely, which is what happened to me. If this happens then the only way of rectifying it is to return the car to the dealership and have the system completely re-configured. Obviously I mentioned the fact that this was not explained when I collected the car and they admitted that this should be made clearer for future customers

  • Video podcasts have jerky playback on my iPod nano 4G

    I've been enjoying Good Game video podcasts on my 4G iPod nano for several months:
    http://www.abc.net.au/tv/goodgame/
    About a month ago, the videos started stuttering badly every few seconds.
    I asked ABC TV is they changed something about how they encode the videos, and they say they haven't.
    Is it possible that one of the iTunes updates has changed video playback so my iPod nano can no longer cope with decoding the video stream?
    Does anyone know if there is a fix for this problem?
    Cheers,
    m.

    Have you reconnected your iPod since listening to the podcasts in question? If not, then you need to do that so that the iPod can update. The podcasts won't delete from the iPod itself after you listen to them until it is updated. (Someone correct me if I am wrong)

  • Does iPod nano work with Stereo Connection Kit?

    Does anyone know if the iPod nano will work with the Stereo Connection Kit w/ monster cables? Someone bought both for me but the connection kit doesn't say it works with the nano anywhere on the box or in the instructions. Thanks for your help

    The dock should work if you line it up right but everything else will work just fine. Realise you need USB to sync with a computer but Firewire is fine for charging.

  • IPod Nano 4G Skips During Playback with Apple Lossless Songs

    My iPod Nano 4th Generation has been consistently skipping a brief portion of music about every 5th Apple Lossless song during playback. I've been working unsuccessfully to resolve this issue with tech support and fixed the problem when I disabled the energy level setting in the playback menu. While this is a hit to battery life, the skipping no longer occurs. Hoping that this issue is permanently resolved in an upcoming software update.

    Hi,
    I brought my ipod yesterday and had the exact same issue. it would skip certain songs frequently and was extremely frustrating. Im not sure if this is the case for all ipods (i have an ipod nano 16Gb 4th gen, with firmware 1.0.4), but i fixed my issue in a series of steps. Im not sure which exact part of my method did the job, but here it is:
    1. plugged it into iTunes and clicked "restore" under the tab "summary". WARNING: This will delete everything, and restore factory settings. im not sure if this is necessary, but youll need to delete the songs which skip anyway.
    2. pressed the eject button IN ITUNES (under "devices", and next to your ipod icon), ejecting the ipod. wait for the ipod to specify when it is ready for it to be unplugged. proceed to unplug said ipod.
    3. Choose the language of your ipod, and go into playback settings and (settings/playback or something) and turn OFF "shake" and "energy saver"
    4. Plug your ipod into your computer again and drag all the songs onto your ipod using itunes.
    5. after it has finished copying, WAIT until the ipod no longer says "synching", and until it says "connected"
    6. Press the eject button IN ITUNES (again, under devices, and next to your ipod icon)
    7. Eject when the ipod says it is ok to do so.
    As i said, im not sure which part of the method did it for me, but i think it might be the way in which i was ejecting it. Before i was ejecting the ipod on my desktop. I think it is important to eject it using itunes. Anyway this fixed my ipod. Im not sure if it will do the same to yours, but if its making you very angry (to say the least) like it made me, its worth a try i guess. I would appreciate it if people let me know if this works.

  • Low volume on Ipod Nano when playing through car stereo

    I used to own a 4 gig ipod mini, and I'd connect it to my car stereo via a stereo cassette adapter. Well, that little guy crashed after a few years of good hard use, and I bought an Ipod Nano. Only, when I play the Nano through my car stereo, the volume is really low. Is there any way to fix this? I'm thinking maybe the Nano doesn't have the same amplification as the mini, and that's why the volume is low, in which case there's going to be no way to play it through the car stereo. I've tried two different stereo cassette adapters so I know that's not the problem. Anyone have any clarifying thought on this? Please help. David

    I use a cassette adapter in the car as well, and also have to adjust the voume on the stereo and the ipod to a higher setting than what I would when listening to a cassette or CD. I've used this adapter with another brand of MP3 player before I got my nano and it was the same as the nano in regards to having to turn up the volume.
    In using the adapter in different cars, I've noticed that on some cassette players, I have to swith the auto reverse from say, tape A to tape B in order to get sound out of the adapter. You may want to check the auto reverse settings on your cassette deck, if you haven't already.

  • Using ipod nano with car stereo?

    sorry if this is a blonde question, but I have just got a new (to me) car which has a sony gtx cd300 stero in with an ipod connection. Ive bought a new ipod nano, plug it in, nano says "OK to disconnect". stereo display does not seem to recognise. Dont suppose anyone can advise me? Nano works fine on its own. stereo works fine as cd and tuner, just cant get it to work with the ipod? arrgh! Very very grateful for any help or advice. Kind regards Lindsay

    As long as your headset is 3.5 mm jack, you can use it with your ipod. Same goes with an auxilliary cable to your car if it is not bluetooth enabled.

  • IPod Nano 4G won't work with my car stereo

    So I bought a new stereo for my car and it has a built in controls for an iPod and a dedicated wire for my iPod to directly connect to the stereo. I placed this wire in the glove box. Now the stereo was installed fine, everything works except for my iPod Nano 4G. I can successfully plug my iPhone into the connector and I'll be able to use my stereo to control my iPhone while it is in the glove box but for some reason there is a read error when attempting to talk to my 4G nano and I don't know what to do... Very bothersome....

    called up crutchfield they said I would have to downgrade the software on my Nano to 1.0 and not the 1.0.2 that is currently installed, except I don't recall there being a software update that came out. Not to mention that I don't know where to get a hold of the 1.0.0 software....
    any help would be awesome

  • Connecting ipod nano 4G to home stereo

    How do I connect my new 8GB iPod nano to my home stereo system in order to hear music that's on my nano over my home system? What kind of cable do I need. A local electronics store sold me a cable that's supposed to have worked but it only has one jack on each end: one for the ipod and one for the aux jack on the stereo receiver. But I aux on the stereo has 2 jacks, one red and one white. Please help

    So you need a cable the 2 RCA connectors on that end and the stereo mini plug on the other for the iPod.

  • Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

    Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

    Try a hard reset first. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button 
    until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds, 
    and then the Home screen.
    If that doesn't work, try a restore of the device in iTunes.
    Otherwise, does this skipping and stuttering only happen with certain tracks?  What format are these tracks in and where they come from (outside of iTunes or from the iTunes store itself)?

  • Can the iPod Nano play on the JBL docking stereo systems?

    thanks,
    mike

    Hello CinnamonLizzie,
    That is not a support feature of the ipod nano 3rd gen.
    You could try using a product like this:
