In considering value, the life expectancy of the player becomes a critical factor in my purchasing decision. What is the reasonable life expectancy of an mp3 player? Do more expensive players have a greater life expectancy? What features of a player impact life expectancy? What uses impact life expectancy such a frequency of charging, exposure to temperature, etc.? Do particular manufacturers make better players than others with respect to players? -- Philip or Julie --- Your commentary on the wooden ear buds brought back some interesting work and discussion I/we had decades ago. At the time I was living in Boston and a very active member of http://www.bostonaudiosociety.org/ One study we did was to look into why something "Sound Better" but in reality is actually quite inaccurate. One is the ages old vacuum tube vs Solid State thing. Tube's "Sound Better" to just about everyone. Open, air, warm are all are pundits assigned to Tubes. Wooden things "Sound Better". That's why a violin sounds better as do all the other musical instruments. It's long been known that if you construct a sound reproduction device, like a loudspeaker, out of solid wood 99% of the people you present that to will say that "Sounds Better". In reality the wood is imposing a few subtle, or a lot, of layers of 2nd order distortion that give the sound that "warm and open" experience. Well designed sound reproduction instruments are never constructed from wood. Anything but. Re-enforced particle board, phenolic and the best thing to build a sound reproduction instrument from is re-enforced concrete. No resonances there. Anyway love the show and I'm sure those wooden ear buds "Sound Better". Accurate? Not hardly. -- Bill Jasmine stifles yawns as Donald tries to convince her that, yes, there are worthwhile things to talk about today, such as Sony dropping the price of the 32GB X-Series Walkman to a level that it should have been at to begin with (yawn), and Microsoft announcing two new subdued colors for the Zune HD (yawwwwwn).

Have you guys of a new dock for the ipod touch that you can use in your car from XM Satellite radio called the skydock, which enables your ipod touch or an iphone to be an XM satellite receiver. It's available at best buy or from Amazon, and from XM directly as well. supposedly it uses this new technology that helps improve FM transmissions into your car from the dock that's plugged into your car outlet. As a satellite radio subscriber, it would help to have less equipment in the car to reduce the crazy thieves that run rampid in large cities. Supposedly this also would work as a regular ipod dock for broadcasting audio from your touch or iphone, or I guess even other ipods minus the shuffle since it doesn't have the apple connector on them. It also will charge the ipod as well. what's your thoughts on an item like this? Do you think combining satellite radio and ipod touches & iphones will make a good market?

I'm waiting for you guys to review the Archos Android Tablet (or have I missed it?) a few things I'd like to know: What do you think of its audio quality? Does the internet browser support playing flash videos (ala youtube)? What is battery life on the hard drive version? Any "show stoppers" that I should know about? -Rob from Sedona tag:odeo.com,2009-10-06,25458377 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:09:00 -0700 no MP3 Insider (MP3) http://odeo.com/episodes/25212562-MP3-Insider-163-Numbers-don-t-lie-or-matter With Jasmine out on vacation, Donald brings CNET Labs' Eric Franklin into the studio for an epic nerd session on audio quality measurements, including recent test data from the Zune HD and iPod Touch.

I would like to purchas a touch screen device because to me they are much easier to use and i like the features but i have alot of music so i need capacity. I want a zune hd because the device looks amazing, its cheaper than a touch and its not as bulky as a touch but it doesnt have the capacity i need. I was wondering if Zune was planing on releasing a 64 gig any time soon. Also i would like to know your opinion on if a touch would be worth the price or if i should just settle for a zune 120. My last question is if the zune hd's internet supports flash video or java. ---Eric [Looking for headphones at Goodwill].. all of sudden I looked down on a shelf and all by themselves were an old pair of 1980's or early1990's Walkman type headphones. The type with the small chrome band that you pull on to adjust. The headphones looked so pathetic just sitting there no players no other headphones nothing but picture frames and old random items. The cord of the headphones were tied up by a rubber band I just couldn't imagine these things working much less blowing my mind... ...I went home plugged in my new headphones and listened to hours and hours of music. Old school meets new school, no one's going to believe me when I say how good these headphones sound and how I found them. If you come by a set of Aiwa HP-M16 headphones don't just walk by: stop, listen and enjoy. I listened for hours, these headphones fit perfectly sounded great and were in flawless condition.

I am a regular user of the service and took a survey a few weeks back dealing primarily with a hypothetical Lala app for the iPhone, asking how much I would pay for an app, would I be willing to pay a monthly fee, what features would be most important to me, etc. One would think the company would not waste time and effort on creating a survey for something they didn't intend to develop. I, for one, hope they do come out with one soon because I quite like Lala and find it annoying that I can't take advantage of it on my iPod touch. Love the show!
