911teo,

If you are unhappy with the current sound quality then re-ripping may be required.

First you should do some checking to see if you can hear the difference.

1. Get a dock or cradle adapter and run the sound from the bottom of the pod.
2. Turn off the EQ on the pod.

Does this help? If not - proceed.

3. You will want to do some sampling. The best way is to rip a cd and put it on the pod a second time. You will need to name the album something a little different to allow the pod to accept the same thing twice. You will have to edit the tags to accomplish this.

4. To keep it simple, set the options on itunes to rip and compress into .mp3 at 320kbps constant bit rate. Your file sizes will increase.

5. Play the same 2 tracks which are ripped differently back to back over the stereo to see if you can hear the difference.

Let us know how it works out.
