rkivie 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2006 shhh dont say you heard this from me hor...but apple doesnt always ask you for verification for the edu advantage eligibility. but if they, you'll have to fax them some sort of proof. anyway, maybe you have cousins, errr or nieces or nephews who are thinking of switching? time to nudge them over then.

N@Z 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2006 I recall the prices being slightly lower than that at the Apple Center at Wheelock. The iPod Video 30GB is $499 during the sale, I don't remember the rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mackie 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) I can't say I've tried a lot of ipods but comparing my shuffle with my friend's nano, the shuffle sounded better out of its headphone socket. However, the shuffle does not have line out. Edited June 23, 2006 by Mackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1bit 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2006 OT here: mm actually i am afraid of the line driver ic inside the player itself, especially for portable players, if you do that. most of the line output is rated for 10k ohm load, i'm afraid 16 ohm of the earphones is just too big a load for the chip and i don't think it will do any harm to your ear, the volume will be quite low (especially for 16 ohm earphones) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
