Right now I have ipod shuffle which doesn't have EQ. Is there a mp3 player that charges thru USB and it has EQ?


thanx

 

the regular IPOD

 

 

any Ipod with a screen

 

no no... I need it for my motorcycle

something with EQ and that will charge via USB.

time for upgrade I guess.... so does it have eq?

 

The iPod Nano does have an EQ (along with other iPods) - BUT does not have a "custom" user-adjustable setting - it has 22 presets. This should be fine but it's one of my biggest peeves about the iPod - I like being able to totally customize my EQ. The best setting I could find on the iPod for the type of music I generally listen to is "Latin" - go figure. This is after lots of listening and experimenting. Most other MP3 players have custom EQ option. Unfortunately, they have their share of other (possible) problems and issues.

The MP3 player as a technology is still in its infancy - I think we will start to see really good ones emerge around... say... 2010.

 

isn't it dangerous to be listening to your mp3 player while riding a motorcycle?

 

not unless the bike has sound system.

 

<----- Guilty of listening to iPod Shuffle while on motorcycle

 

somehow I think I ride better and am able to concentrate more on my form when I am listening to music

 

just be careful! also technically you're not supposed to do that

btw jatt has an ipod shuffle but apparently its not good enough for his motorcycle because it doesn't have EQ... he must have quite a soundsystem on there.

 

I've got a Black one (4 gig, of course). I recommend it if you want to use it while doing anything that involves a bunch of moving around.

 

Keep in mind, jatt wants to mount it on the handlebar of his SV650. This is not a bicycle we are talking about here - I would give the Nano about a week before it gets totally pulverized from the crazy vibration.

 

How so? The Nano is solid state, just like the Shuffle. Unless he's bouncing it around scratching it up, it should be fine.

 

what's the finish on the Nano, piano black? would you want to mount that on the handlebars of an SV650? I just think he needs something a bit more rugged with a more machined finish that won't be so susceptible to scuffing, marring, and scratching. Also, he needs a custom EQ.

 

Yeah, it's a shiny finish on the Black. I have a silicon sleeve for mine. I guess I should have mentioned that. You can set custom EQ settings on the Nano.

 

how do you set custom EQ on the Nano?

 

 

Thanks for the visual aid.

 

 

are you able to adjust the volume or anything while you are riding? I was thinkin about doing the same, but with the riding gloves I have I dont think I would be able to.

 

suite mod

 

yes you can do that.

 

but can you do it without dropping the bike and/or hitting any cars?

 

sweet...might have to do that with my shuffle...

 

Jatt will you do us all a favor and get a damn heat gun out and get rid of your fingernail scratched sticker on the gas tank!
