Having taken a 7 hour bus ride from Miami back to St. Petersburg with the new Shure e ar buds I am convinced that I made the right decision. They do a better job of noise reduction than the high end Bose products and, if you are a classical music fan, setting the Nano EQ to either piano or classical, depending whether you are listening to a soloist or orchestra, makes an enormous difference on these ear buds that I've never heard trying everything else that I could plug into the little device.


At one point during the Greyhound ride, I pulled the ear buds out for about fifteen minutes to attend to my dog. The ambient noise was so bad that I nearly screamed but these ear buds, with the volume pretty low, kept almost all of the outside sounds to a minimum.

Happy Hacking,

I have more than a month worth of digital and have no freezing problems. I have had some peculiar issues regarding podcasts but a kid working at the Apple store down on South Beach showed me my problems and all became happy again. I must say, though, that some aspects of synchronizing podcasts and playlists are a bit less than intuitive with speech. Also, after synchronizing, one may find themself without the titles of the podcasts but the actual recordings hidden beneath the clicking sounds on the Nano.

Even with some of the struggles I've had with itunes/Nano, I still think the combo is awesome and only use my Stream for the Daisy stuff (which I also think is awesome).

OT: At the Apple store, I plunked down #$250 for a set of Shure ear buds. They sound amazing and, in my opinion, are well worth the hefty price tag.

I've found if there's a lot of music in your itunes library, itunes seems to do this. what I've tended to do is not view the whole library at once. either search for something you're looking for or change how you're viewing your itunes list. If you're viewing in grid mode, try and select artist or genre or album and ee if that helps to stop the freezing issue.

Feel like today's your last day!
Enjoy every minute, Savour every hour.
Admit the positive energies and laugh at least 10 times a day,
Distinguish the negative, and push it all away!

I've imported a lot of my music collection from my old laptop's hard drive to my Macbook Pro's hard drive, over my router. However, even when I've added the imported folder to the Itunes library, when I try to play it, Itunes says "busy," and freezes. Eventually it will return an error about a lost connection. In Finder, I can see the MP3 files on the Macbook's hard drive, and I can play them through quick look. So ... what's up with this?
