It tastes like burning » iPod http://www.cdavis.us Ramblings from someone who really doesn't have much to say Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:09:41 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 A podcast that reboots my iPod http://www.cdavis.us/2006/11/07/a-podcast-that-reboots-my-ipod/ http://www.cdavis.us/2006/11/07/a-podcast-that-reboots-my-ipod/#comments Tue, 07 Nov 2006 14:33:11 +0000 Chad http://www.cdavis.us/2006/11/07/a-podcast-that-reboots-my-ipod/ Continue reading →]]> Yesterday I subscribed to a new podcast in iTunes. I synced up overnight and allowed the iPod to fully charge. This morning I undocked and wanted to listen to the new podcast, but every time I try to play one the the podcasts, my iPod reboots. It happens on every one of the shows I downloaded all episodes from this podcast(about 9) that were available. If I choose a different podcast, everything works normally. Weird. The podcast in question is The Linux Action Show which I learned about through digg yesterday. The show does release in ogg and mp3 format and I verified that the files downloaded are the mp3 ones. Anyone experience this? Or better yet, know why it is happening?

Update 1: Found this. It might not be a problem with podcast, but it is the first podcast I subscribed to since I updated to iTunes 7.02

Update 2: Seems to have something to do with the EQ. Read the comments

Ever since I got the iPod and have been back into listening to podcasts, I like to listen to them while driving. Unfortunately I really only drive to and from work(in my own car). For some reason the tape player in our work van doesn’t like the cassette adapter I bought, so I can’t listen while driving the work van.

So yesterday morning, as is typical in my daily routine, I get in the car, plug in the iPod and start a podcast, then start on my way to work. Yesterday I started listening to Technorama. I didn’t get to hear much at all. When I got to work and looked at the play timer, it only took me 3 minutes and 54 seconds to get to work. It almost doesn’t feel worth trying to listen to anything in that short amount of time.

So, yes, I need a new job with a longer commute. Maybe downtown Chicago so my daily commute would total about 4 hours.
