but don't get a shuffle. You'll spend more time "shuffling for songs than actually listening to them."

Average lengtth at around 128kb/s I'd say around maybe 200 songs. Just my opinion, but don't get a shuffle. You'll spend more time "shuffling for songs than actually listening to them."

lol You don't spend time "shuffling" for songs. The iPod does the shuffling or you can set it up by playlist. The last time I checked, consumer level CD players didn't have an LCD display either :shifty: but you don't complain about shuffling through that yourself do you?

88 4-minute mp3s @ 192kbps

133 4-minute mp3s @ 128kbps

considering capacity being 512,000KB (not really 512MB - a bit less like most manufacturers do)

he didn't mean shuffling THE songs... he meant shuffling FOR the right song. he meant spending time looking for the song you want to hear in between so many shuffled songs.

lets see... shuffle through 15 songs or 120.... hmmm. The point is, if there's a song you really like, you have to "shuffle" to find the damn thing.

it's hard to say since mp3s come in many bitrate and filesize.

if you have 192kbit mp3s, approx 5 CD albums, 6 or 7 CD albums if you're lucky

if you have 128kbit mp3s, approx 8 CD albums, 9 or 10 CD albums if you're lucky

but it's very hard to say by mp3s...

PS- i wouldn't recommend the ipod shuffle b/c it doesn't have a screen... unless apple comes out with an accessory that you can replace with a cap so it can have at least a small screen...

not to sound noobish, but 192kps for best performance & sound quality?

And if a song is in 128, how do i turn it into 192?

no. the higher the better... i recommend 192. some desire 320.

and no. impossible to make 128 turn into 192 (sound quality and performance wise)...

it's kinda like recording EP on VHS and then going back to record that EP on VHS to SP

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but as for BoA, she can really sing and dance, and is damn hot, and has international appeal. (She's now famous in Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, China and some other Asian countries)

She debuted at 14, and now she's about 18, so there must've been a lot of changes in her appearance. You can't simply call that plastic surgery.

Anyway, I'm really glad that there's Vietnamese fan of BoA out there.

And back to topic, I don't really see the appeal of iPod Shuffle with no screen and no special feature unlike its competitors.

yes she debuted at 14. Who cares? Also, shes been singing alot & been advertising alot of japan, hell, she might as well become japan since she spends 90% of the time there.

As a korean, i read articles on music & film celebrities for my company, dont ask.

She had some plastic surgery done like facial as in double eyelid which is common for some korean females in korea.

Plus, she cant sing for squat. Lip Synching as i call it.

There are other talented korean singers out there.

People people, you don't have to shuffle if you dont want to. You can just do it the regular way if you want.

i think we all know that you dont' have to shuffle if we don't want. but it's still a pain to guess and check to find the track that you want.

to whoever said audio cd players don't have screens. they do, they have something to see what track number and sometimes the time elapsed or remaining.

as for mp3 players, it's more important to have a screen since mp3s have ID tags.

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

      Which finger's fingernail are we talking about? I can see how not having this info can lead to massive differences in interpretation.
    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.

    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
