4) The iPod fails to playback 320kbps encoded MP3s properly. Some say the tracks sound like played underwater, i personally think it has more of a stuttery feeling. It can play lossless files however..

Hmm...would this be a hardware problem? or something fixable by an update to the iPod software I wonder.
