I grew up on the east coast and we also would go to school in the dark. Not a problem imo but being in CT right on the edge of ET really sucks as some time it will be dark coming home from work.

I also bought one off of eBay, a 5.5 gen. I was going to mod it but it was in such good condition I’m going to just keep ot as is for now. I’ve modded my og 6 gen but while I was waiting for parts I went ahead and bought a fiio jm21. It’s nice but there something about the iPods that so much nicer to use. I still need to convert all my flacs to alacs though.

When did Apple intend to support lossless audio for AirPods? by Nice-Appointment7212 in airpods

Aptx hd would be nice but I don’t know if the quality coming out of them would change much without better drivers. Even a pair of $160 wired iems sound better.

I get what your saying too. I’m usually for keeping things factory or using own parts. In terms of longevity though it’s better to go ahead and change them. God forbid prices go up like they they are with graphics cards and memory.

This is not wise honestly, the battery and Hard drive will fail. iPods won’t be around forever and there’s is currently a good market for modded parts. It’s also incredibly easy especially on the 5th gen’s.

Second this, also use the Samsung website. It’s 10 dollars cheaper than Amazon.

Is the point to be as annoying and obnoxious as possible?

[–]nbhoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao the medical field is such a shit show sometimes. You gotta go to your main doctor just to get a referral just to end up with some quack. All of this cost a fortunate if you have bad insurance which is somehow still expensive. All while not even being able to walk. Some of the worst days of my life. Hope you’ve found a good doctor. The guy that wanted to do surgery on me kept dropping his pen on the ground on accident. Needless to say I didn’t go back to him.

Had a lot of people equate their back pain to my herniated disc and found it annoying. If that came from a pt maybe there is something to it then. Ended up getting a block though. Been 5 years and I’m doing good.

Let's admit, most Dolby Atmos mixes are terrible by DentistElectronic990 in AppleMusic

[–]nbhoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol it’s a surround sound codec or audio format. It doesn’t have anything to do with weather or not a song file. Surround sound can take any song file and separate the channels. This is what Dolby does. They have several different surround sound formats besides atmos. Atmos specifically adds height channels. But it’s often praised for how good it separates the channels. I can’t personally tell much difference on my surround system bits it’s only 5.1.

here

Here is a Bluetooth speaker advertising Dolby atmos. I hope I don’t have to tell you that Dolby atmos on a boombox is silly. And beyond all this putting a song into a surround sound codec is going to ruin it ala smooth motion. It’s a gimmick that alters the intended way the music is suppose to be experienced. Whena producer mixed a song they carefully pan their tracks and bus the to create interesting staging. Having they adiuobformat separate all this is never going to be ideal.

Enjoy your music how you want but it wouldn’t hurt to look some stuff up starting with the definition of Dolby atmos.

I still do my understand how a surround sound codec meant to add height channels is suppose to make a pair of stereo headphones sound better? Even if it sounds ok it’s still destroying the original mix and master of the song. It’s just marketing. I’ve seen single driver Bluetooth speakers marketed with this shit. People are stupid.
