Belkin Auto Kit for new iPod may not fit some cars

Belkin Auto Kit for new iPod may not fit some cars

I bought the Belkin Car adaptor last night. What a piece of absolute crap—why the heck did these guys choose to put a terrible little amplifier and volume control in the thing? Basically it pops, hisses, and totally distorts sound quality.

After having gone through all the trouble to wire my car (a 2000 Jetta) with a direct input to the stereo system, I now have to get an extra base to get a clean audio out! I’m no audiophile, but there is a marked sound quality difference between running from the Ipod base vs. the Belkin…

Terribly disappointing.

Fox News: Will the Beatles Take

Oh please, don’t try to negate my argument by saying Apple goes after people for trademark infringement as well.  That wasn’t my point, and it would do you some good to go back to a critical thinking class and learn what a valid argument is to my post. 

I stated that record companies overall, not just Apple, are greedy as hell.  Believe me, I’ve worked with some majors before, and they’re all crooks.  So far, it looks like Def Jam, TVT, and a number of others are gearing up to sue Apple due to the fact that people are now hacking iTunes.  Never mind the fact that Apple actually had millions of downloads from the site, so they’re making SOME money.  The problem with the music industry is they want ALL the money. 

And I still think 99 cents a song is a pretty high cost.

question:  Is the adhesive closer to that you find on avery mailing labels or low tack like with PDA screen protectors.  If removed, is there a sticky residue left behind?

I Lost My iPod

Hi,
I simply named my I pod “if lost please call (my phone #).  Of course they would have to hook it up
to a computer.  There are a few honest people around.

Enhance your MP3s with DFX

Ill probably just go with the 10gb seeing as I need money and all. I also saw a case for 20 bucks so that’s not a problem. Space really isnt an issue with me. If I have to Ill delete something, I had to do that all the time with my cd case. things going in and out. Believe me theres a few cd’s that I really never needed.

Fox News: Will the Beatles Take

yes, i agree, the beatles are just a greedy franchise, robbing little old ladies of their pensions and taking the food out of african children’s mouths - good job there’s apple, the defenders of the poor, feeders of the third world. they will certainly fight the corner of the meek and helpless to pave the way for a brave new world empty of faceless money-hungry corporations like ringo starr.

grow up.

The Beatles sicken me, this is just pure greed, I’ve always hated their music. I hope someone gets rid of the remaining two.

I thought so too (10G was enough that is), then I finished college (last week) and now I have all this time on my hands.. so I listen to music and go fishing. Well now I’m about to run out of space on my 15G. But I love this thing (I wish the battery lasted longer).

I got rid of it after a while, I just got pissed off at trying to find the right setting. But is the case and space the only problem with the 10gb? Cause i have 8gb of files, i dont think i could fill 10gb. that would be like another 20 albums. And I could always delete some.

“And this Apple Corps lawsuit is completely petty and ridiculous.”

And Apple’s lawsuits against others who infringe on its trademarks are also petty???

No, if you don’t protect a trademark, you can lose a trademark (ala aspirin as a generic term in the US but trademarked in Canada). Apple (as the beatles) is justified in their lawsuit (if it happens).

However, I agree with KenGent that Apple would have foolish given the history not to have already worked this out.

Time (and lawyers) will tell…..

Fox News: Will the Beatles Take

You will notice that the article never explicitly says that Apple Records is going after Apple Computers. What it does is lay out a REASON Apple Records might have an action but again, I feel this would have been worked out beforehand.

“The Beatles, I am told, are gearing up for a fight”
He is told…sounds like a rumor site.

“One might assume that the exclusion…”
Trying to build a case for this prior “telling”

“A source at their very tony British law firm, Eversheds, says not to read anything into this.”
Covering his tracks, knowing someone’s going to correct him for this.

“Valner does not hesitate to move against infringers of the Beatle trademark…”
Reinforcing the premise…still no facts.

“I am told, has been “in meetings” as the Apple Computer story progresses in the newspapers.”
Trying to imply that the meetings are Apple meetings?

““They are very vigilant about pursuing these things.”
More weak reinforcement.

“The question now is how vigilant the Beatles will be concerning Apple Computer’s new business interests.”
Question? I thought he was TOLD…

I bought the 10G and a week later learned you can’t keep it from getting scratched (plus I filled it up with music) so rather than spend 40 bocks on a case I got traded for the 15G that comes with a case (it’s not the best case) but I loveit. Now back to the DFX I’ve tried the demo it sounds great.. But has anyone used the full version at a 128 bit rate? Does DFX really sound as cool on the Ipod with those cheesy earbuds?

you would think that this might have been dealt with before they even released itunes music store, itunes, or the ipod. it was most likely some closed door deal, that none of us will ever know about. apple knows full well about apple corp, they have there butts covered in this one would think. i think the article is speculation

Jeez.  Apple tries to do something to stem the tide of illegal digital distribution of music and what happens?  The record companies start suing.  Again.  As far as I’m concerned, I’m not buying another damn album until they stop this stupid, childish behavior and start trying to find real solutions for distributing music.

And this Apple Corps lawsuit is completely petty and ridiculous.
