i had decided on an iPhoto 60 due to cost/GB, but after reading all the complaints of bad sound quality i'm thinking that i'd rather not take the risk. also read in a review at iPodlounge that the mini has sound problems. so, i'm considering a shuffle, or a 20GB. does anyone know if these are free from the reported sound problems?
thanks

I've never heard of any sound quality problems My 1G 40GB iPod photo sounds great. And the 512MB iPod shuffle that I have tried sounds fine.

Hi,
Do you have any links that refer to iPod sound quality problems? I found this one.

I have the 4th generation 20 gig iPod and noticed sound problems with certain equalizer settings, though I can't remember which settings caused this. I also notice that my iPod distorts while playing some classical music.

Couldn't that be the headphones you are using?

Hi,
It may be the headphones. I haven't really investigated it enough to find out. My thinking is the iPod is a disposible walkman that wasn't built for hi-fi reproduction. If I want really good sound I will stick with my home stereo and a good set of head phones.
