I thought i read a thread about this before but now i cant seem to find it...i got my ipod last week and its at 1.2...anyways i read before about some whining and other pros and cons to 1.3 and 1.4???. has anyone touched 1.4 yet??? and if so is it really even worth updating? thanks in advance for for the help

if it aint broke don't fix it. there are som many things with the nwe versions 5Khz wine and stuff. if your battery life is not all that important then don't bother till the reviews come back saying "I have had no problems and the organizer is soooo coool."

i have wait rather HAD 1.2 installed then i sent it to apple because the headphone jack broke so i will wait and see if i get 1.4 when I get it back. IF i get a replacement.

P.D.

P.S. ver. 1.3/1.4 was supposed to improve battery life, or so i thought.

am i sleeping or are you talking about 1.0.3 and 1.0.4

If you ignore sound quality or if you like bassy sound or if you use the supplied Apple earpods, version 1.0.4 is the best.

Otherwise use version 1.0.3, which fixed the "whine" and in my opinion also gives the best sound quality when used with good headphones. But 1.0.3 also has other drawbacks. You cannot play low-bitrate or mono MP3s. Menu response is also much slower/jumpy.

Some people still prefer 1.0.2 because it has a little less whine than 1.0.4 while still giving a very bassy (too muddy in my opinion) sound.

Since I don't use any mono or low-quality MP3s and since I don't use the Apple earbuds and I also like crisp highs and clean, undistorted bass, I use 1.0.3.

YMMV!

I'm not used to saying "1.0.3 sounds better" without hearing arguments otherwise. I'm curious. Do people agree with my observations? What firmware are others on this forum using and why?

Using 1.0.4 as I got the pod with 1.0.2 but upgraded as there was a list of fixes which looked impressive didn't notice any whine but most of my music is rock so it might not affect this as much as classical.

I just fingured the most up to date was proberly the best version esp as I cannot here the whine.
