Cirevam Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Read that as PIMP. Just curious, why use a lossy format like WMA? I mean, it's good if you want to send decent-sounding audio over phone lines, bu no one really does that anymore. Also, at 128 kbps (which I ashume you're probably using) it suffers from overbrightness. If you're running these files at a really high bit rate, try OGG, but if you're running around 85 kbps don't touch OGG at all since it gets really cruddy below ~120 kbps. If MPEG Layer III isn't your style, I understand, but as a sound guy must know your reasoning for using the WMA codec. In other news, meh, my dad won an iPod in a survey and gave it to me, so I don't really have any advice for you. Lair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEPICtrainrider Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 The zune is stronger, as in you could brake the glass and still be able to see it, but the hd might be different (I herd this from a guy who actually had one). The Ipod is smaller though, and it looks good. If you do get a ipod, switch out the head phones, people see those head phones and know you got some hi tech thing that can be worth lots of $$.
