judge_fire Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 iPod, anyone yet? Oh the sweetness of it, just saw a vid of Seal and Moby drooling over a prototype > http://www.apple.com/hardware/video/ipod_intro.html j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roto Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 I'd like one, but I will have to wait til something like it runs on Windows. For now I will settle for my Nomad Jukebox . I just upgraded it to 20 gigs. Very nice to have something I can listen to the on the bus, then I plug it into my Model 88 radio on my desk at work, listen to it all day while it charges the batteries. Listen to it on the way home, and then I plug it into my computer and make the playlist for tomorrow. I wish it was as small as the iPod and had firewire instead of usb, but I'm sure Creative Labs are working on a new Nomad Jukebox for us Windoze users that will have those improvements [ 11-08-2001: Message edited by: Roto ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansouth Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 I'm trying to find out whether iPod will work with Windows running iTunes2 (if that's possible). I'll let you know what I discover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenthplanet Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 E-mail Apple; there are rumours of software for Windows compatability. Let em know you want it.

Michael Of course there are rumors, because there are all sorts of people who saw the picture of the thing and want it. Personally I think Apple would be nuts not to add Windows software before Christmas rolls around. Since I just spent $150US to upgrade/fix my Nomad I won't be getting an iPod myself, but they ARE very cool. PS, any Nomad Jukebox owners: Don't fill up the hard drive all the way. Apparently it needs some free space to index all those mp3s, and if it runs out of room it will not boot up properly. They coulda put some kinda warning inBOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfjunkie Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 i'm starting to like it more, i might just get one. why d'ya think they didn't give it line and headphone outs? another thought- what's the next generation of these things? 40gigs? email/browser? cell phone?

Valkyrie Sound Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 Looks very neat! I like the fact you can store full WAV files if you want... The data back-up feature is a great bounus, but they mention "data mode" as if perhaps you can't mix MP3 files and pure data files... What would be REALLY hip is if PT Free could record onto the drive during a concert and I could listen to it right away... Only problem.. PT still won't record interleved stereo files... so I don't think this device would be able to read the split stereo files... oh well....

Mark Zeger Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 Windows compatibility, on an Apple built device?!? No way. Steve Jobs' quote from the iPod launch was that it was only for Macintosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Lozada Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 Well... the fact of having a very portable device with skip protection ... makes me wonder it could be an option to take to my gigs instead of taking my computer to trigger my WAV Stereo master files... sounds good. 5 gigas? Great. They don't specify what kind of WAV files it can handle... However, I don't like when they say: CD-quality sound A high-output (60-mW) amplifier provides CD-quality sound with a wide dynamic range... If they are talking about MP3... then this is bullshXt ... !!

Roto Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 I have yet to try it, but for Windows users the Nomad Jukebox has a line in and will record straight to wav files. It also has 2 line outs to go with the headphone jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansouth Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 I like the fact that it can double as a 5G Firewire drive. Instead of burning eight CD-ROMs, you can drop data into here and take it to another studio, office, anywhere where you have another Firewire Mac waiting. I'm eager to try out the full bandwidth operation, i.e. not just play MP3's. That video is INDEED cool - I especially liked the Smashmouth guy!

aeon Posted November 10, 2001 Share Posted November 10, 2001 iPod has already been hacked so that you have full bidirectional xfer for mp3s, regardless of the computer it is attached to. Of course, the real reason to own one is the built-in Pong. Go tell someone you love that you love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PimpDaddyStrange Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Yo Windows Guys IPod won't be available for Windows till next year (summer) at the earliest. I just picked one up yesterday and its great. Now I start a mix at home in LA platinum and finish at the studio in PT. The only thing that concerns me is the size. Things so small, I'll probably lose it somewhere. real simple to use too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusker Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 I gather that neither of these devices (I-pod, Nomad) include A to D convertors for recording live audio. Are there digital microphones or other devices that can work with them to enable this sort of thing? Thx, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx, Jerry iPod doubles as a Firewire drive, so you could use a Firewire audio interface (in theory, if the drive isn't too slow). But you'd also need a computer.

Intheether Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Hello: Does the i-tunes software create an ext. conflict with sound jam? Or is sound jam obsolete after installing it? This is causing me to hesitate before buying it. But, wow, it looks so cool. Any help is appreciated! ~nel * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
