lmao, bad sound quality...ignant knob

This post speaks for itself, it says "the only people who could like iPods are too dumb to spell two very simple words"... at any rate the iPods suffer from low sound quality for two quite indisputable reasons:

I didn't misspell any words....nor do I own an ipod, nor will I ever buy one. I agree, the battery life sucks & the "scratch all" back pisses me off. I dislike iTunes aswell

Your assumptions are lame gurck & they only make you look like even more of a flamer.

1) 0.42% THD (Total Harmonic Distortion, since I know you haven't a clue what that means). 0.1% is considered noticeable. iRivers have 0.03%.

2) Bass range attenuation, which makes for less accurate musical reproduction. Since accurate musical reproduction equals sound quality, looks like the iPod is out there too.

Further, they have a crap EQ which doesn't even allow a pathetic attempt to fix these problems.

One source of many...

You tool, you think 99.9% of the people buying ipods gives a fvck about any of that? Why should they? Its a damn portable mp3 player so they don't get bored off their asses. Lets face it, there is no perfect portable decvice out there yet & your hatred for the ipod is backed by facts, but they're facts that less than 10% of people looking at portable devices will consider.

If you want to "rebel" against the common thought, the choice of the mass's...thats all fine and dandy, but it would be better if you do it without becoming an asshat troll.

Thank you for your anti-iPod ad... I especially like the "less than 10% of people would want to save 50% off a DAP" portion of your argument, lol... Let's face it - mom & pop bought you that lovely piece of white plastic & flashing neon lights and you now feel compelled to flame anyone who calls it like it is to defend their honor, does that about cover it?

lol, especially since that was not one of your arguments I was referring to...try to stay on topic gurck. Once again, in case your reading comprehension has deminished, I do not own an Ipod. Ive already gone over my main concerns with it, which are in agreement with some of the things you had said previously.

I feel compelled to flame ignorant trolls who can't get over themselves...that about covers it.

I'm not one to be a spelling & grammar nazi, but if you're going to throw that card on the table, you might want to try spelling "diminished' correctly

Anyhow, you couldn't counter a good argument backed up by facts and so called me names instead. What am I supposed to think about your age, pray tell? Regardless, I still think it sport

geezes... the man won an ipod... CONGRATS. Enjoy it.. i love my ipod mini... save the argument for the "what mp3 hd player should i buy??" threads

lol, i thought that didn't look right after posting, but I was too lazy to go look it up. You got me there gurck, I admit it, I am not the best speller.

Anyhow, you couldn't counter a good argument backed up by facts

I know you read my post b/c you quoted it, but did you comprehend my last couple of posts? Based on comments like this, Id have to assume not.

...so called me names instead.

Well gurck, I do apologize if I offended you with my "ignorant" comment, but the fact remains...you are a troll. If you want proof, just go up and use the "search" feature, then under "author" you should use "gurck" and there you will have pages upon pages of proof.

What am I supposed to think about your age, pray tell? Regardless, I still think it sport

You may think what you want gurck , and so will I... :beer::beer:

I'm a troll for commenting factually and in pertinence to the thread, but you're not for hitting me with the end-all, be-all of gradeschool insults; "you tool"? Give me a break sport, stop now and you'll only look like an immature 15. Save what little (stubble-free) face you can

Yup, even the mods have had to tell him to stfu with his attacking of others.

wtf mates? He got an mp3 player that he wanted. What's the big deal. Gurck, it's not like you're being forced to get an ipod. People buy cars, they may not give the fastest 0-60 time, best gas mileage, or best price, but whatever. It's THEIR car, why do I care?

Trolling would be posting only to incite a reaction, relaying no useful information. Such as making a post saying "you tool". On calling you a kid, I just call 'em as I see 'em. You are one, you make it painfully obvious. We all were at one point, it's nothing to be ashamed of... but all the same I think we'd both be better off if you found some Pokemon forums to post on, or perhaps "pwn sum pplz" in CounterStrike. Shoo~

"You're saying you could have used the dough toward any player, but got the most expensive one with the worst sound quality, fewest features, lowest battery life, and most gaudy looks? Um... congrats? "

Nope, factual information, aside from my opinion of its looks. You, otoh, are now posting only to incite further argument.

I'll make it easy for you.. this was your comment in the other iPod thread that was created today:

" I'd definitely look into non-Apple DAPs before deciding on your purchase."

Your original comment in this thread was flamebait (making you a troll), your comment in the other thread was not. I'm assuming you changed your tune after the pwnage your comment brought upon you on this thread.

 

[ManSnake]

why did you guys have to hijack my thread?

Lmao, "pwnage"? Sorry, you'll have to explain the meaning of that word, I don't get it since I'm older than 14. The only thing my comment in this thread has done is incite a lot of young children to yell at me because I don't like their DAP of choice. If you don't like the fact that the player mommy & daddy bought you sucks, take it up with Apple. It's not my fault.

 

[SuPrEIVIE]

Gurk you need to stop, i can see why several users are telling you to stop becasue if you read your posts they sound like your giving facts in an insulting way, I agree that the ipod isn't the best and I think the price SHOULD be a bit lower especially the mini, but you put it as its not even close to being at least top 3 among other HD audio players when it certaintly could be, some of your facts are really opinions that you have the need to push as fact like the one where your disliking the look of the ipod, hey man its all preference

wtf? You're only addressing the fact that I said you got owned in this thread (btw I figured your arrogant self would never admit it). I guess I was right when I called you a troll. Then again, there was never any doubt.

Nope, you're the one on this forum that likes to attack others. As previously stated, even the mods have had to tell you to stfu.

 

[SuPrEIVIE]

what is it with you and people's age? you seem to have this sense that since you are a certain mature age you have the need to pick on people's ages with ie "what are you 10?" do you have a sense of superiority or something? it's really pathetic, tho i do hope you fix these problems and become a little nicer

I was asked politely by a mod (who mentioned that s/he agreed with my stance on the free iPod garbage you children spew) not to bring grudges into new threads, and nothing more. I don't care what the hell you think I like to do, the fact is in this thread I'm talking about the iPod (and factually at that), while you and the other boy are namecalling.

what is it with you and people's age?

Calling it as I see it. Nobody older than 15 or who has enough brains to tie their own shoes brings namecalling into a debate.

whoa whoa but I've already proven that you are a troll and you have yet to prove me wrong. Stop attacking my good reputation by accusing me of attaccking you for no reason.

You bring namecalling into a debate repeatedly. "Oh I didn't start the namecalling." Regardless, you still continue to namecall. You've got to admit that your original post in this thread was borderline trolling.
