That is very true, definitely the most annoying aspect of the touch for me.

Yes Zimmer, I am VERY well aware of the fact that there are dozens of other players that offer better SQ and more music formats.  But honestly, less than 0.5% of my music collection is FLAC, so I'll live.

And I'd grab one of the other players for SQ, but I'm not too concerned with that anymore.  I'll use it for so much more than music - movies, internet (WiFi at school), AIM, games....all that good stuff.

If theres another player for around $200 that offers me the Touch's features and such, I'll jump on it because I'm not an apple fan at alll.

Which would you pick Zimmer? Cowon D2/A3 with add-on storage or 120GB Zune?

the app store makes the touch worth it.  there are literally thousands of apps, and some are pretty cool.  lots of time wasting games too

Just click the home button twice and you will get a popup window thing where you can back/pause/next and change the volume.
Or just get the iphone/ipod touch headphones.
It has a touch volume controller, press the tiny thing twi to go to next song, press it three times to go back and once to pause it.
Not really that annoying

Yes, well those two things tend to go hand in hand, I'm hoping you used good quality earphones before making that judgement, because I use top quality headphones, and the sound quality out of my touch is definitely above average at least, not the best.....but no where near "terrible"... a slight exaggeration there me thinks.
You clearly haven't used any other sort of MP3. Go read up audiophile reviews on the iTouch. The sound quality is average at best. I use £120 earphones. I am pretty sure they are above anything that most people have here.

Were £250 when I bought them.

Plugged them into my mates iTouch and it sounded fine, no better than my regular Classic though.

I would go for a Classic 120GB over a touch, better vfm and buttons are better than a screen.

Saying that though, I wouldn't rule out an iRiver, they look sexy and sound GREAT. Cowon are just as good but look shit.

don't even get me started on iTunes.  i have had more problems with that program than any other program combined.  i think it's only because i have Vista x64 though.

Same here, but I found a workaround that works well.

Still irritating as fuck though.

Your problem is Vista. iTunes has worked fine for me for > 4 years.

Not everyone is an uber audiophile. My iPhone + CX400s works absolutely great for me, and I'd call myself fussy.

iTunes actually works now. I haven't experienced a single problem in over 2 months now (moved to a new system) and the App Store is superb - I don't see Zune etc. alternatives for it out there and there are some fantastic apps.
