I transferred iTunes music to my Ipod Classic, then with a dongle connected to the iPod tried out the Air Raid. Music from store-bought CD's sound fine, but downloaded music makes a buzzing sound in the speaker. Apple couldn't help. Any idea where the...

Try a new male to male 3.5 cable, also make sure your connections are tightly fitted as no one enjoys a really loose hole. If all else fails you can simply launch the Apple product into the Sun and get something that supports Bluetooth =]

I'm wondering if anyone who owns the system can tell me how the sound is for regular 2 channel audio. I want this to be an awesome home stereo system as well, and use my apple tv to enjoy itunes through it!

JW485, I tried what you are describing and everything in my existing music library played fine. I streamed over my 2006 Macbook Pro(802.11g). To set it up in Itunes go under edit &gt; preferences&gt; advanced and change the location to your external HD. The problem I had was with downloading new music. Itunes failed to authorize and completely download any newly purchased music, and it took a day of email exchanges with the Apple support to redownload the music. Ultimately, I changed the library location back to default to my local laptop HD so that I could purchase new music without the headache. I was a bit disappointed in the process considering the cost of the router and Apple's reputation.

It all depends upon the audio file type. If your iPod contains uncompressed or lossless audio files with a bitrate that matches CD quality sound then yes the receiver will play CD quality sound. From your comment, I suspect the files on your iPod are low quality audio files (e.g. MP3) and the iPod does a poor job of decoding the audio. Your 20 year old receiver is letting your hear the poor results that are usually hidden when you use the dreadful iPod ear buds.Directly connecting your iPod to the TX-8050 will let the TX-8050 decode the audio file. It will do a far better job. It all depends upon the audio file type.

What format are your files in? If MP3 then there will be zero problem. I have all of my MP3's on an external hard drive as well & all of my tag info was kept intact when I imported the tracks into iTunes. If the format is WMA then iTunes will want to convert the files into a format that the iPod will play. Tags will likely remain intact but the files will be changed I believe.

Dunno. I was unable to get this thing to work. Never came through on my iPod. Sits on a shelf. Will send to highest bidder.

I listen to audiobooks on my iPod all the time, you just import the CD's as MP3s into iTunes, and then drag them onto the shuffle. I find the audio quality of the library editions and Audible to be unacceptable (similar to am radio). The iPod also bookmarks your last position when you turn it off as long as your battery is charged. You do not have to use "aac" (Apple audio file format) files on the iPod, you can use MP3s, which is the standard format.

I'm using aiff mac files and some standard iTunes files and have no problem but, idid find it challenging to import files. if found it easier to drop and drag files to a pre added named folder. i love the ability to hear high quality music file. its worth the hassle to me. you can hear things that you could not conventionally. i never liked low grade mp3 files. sounds terrible. for me its worth it to revisit old tunes at this qua lit. might even get the x5 for more navigation control. hope you find your answer and this response was useful to anyone. good luck.

You have to flip down the cover over where the battery charger goes. I had the same promblem when I played iTunes. The sound was muffled and made the while case vibrate.

No. The volume has to be turned up quite high on the receiver. It sounds pretty good, but the iPod is an MP3 player after all. No matter what sampling rate was used to record the MP3 track, I don't think it can sound like a CD.

The only thing I can think of is the speakers battery is running low. Could also be a Bluetooth comparability issue if you have an older generation iPod.

Hi, I think you may hsve the same issue I had. If so you must convert your music to mp3 format. If your using iTunes you can do that I believe by selecting your song, right click, and should have an option for mp3 conversion. If not look under options on the Tab bar. Hope this helps!

I can only give a guess because I dislike iTunes. I had it once on my computer and it took over everything. Possibly the program to play the songs on your mp3 have to be played through a program on your computer, provided by iTunes. I have loaded hundreds of songs off CD's and never had a problem. Can you make a CD from your iTunes on your computer, and then do a 'copy of that CD to your mp3?

I would say contact customer service but the line is perpetually down. Is the music in the correct format? Is the device showing up in "My Computer" (assuming you use Windows)? Which program are you using to sync files, if any?I would really advise you to ship it back to Amazon and get a refund because this thing is a piece of junk.

Same exact thing happened to us! Ooohs & Ahhhs opening the I-pod classic and Philips DCP850 at the same time. Its been almost a week now and I'm still absolutely no where on getting helpful answers from Philips or Apple on trying to use their products. What portable DVD player will work with the I-pod classic?? with no extra cords, cables or anything?

You may have already done this but make sure the volume on the device you are playing (iPod or whatever)is at maximum level.Hope this helps.
