i heard this (and warning i heard this off someone that i wouldnt call very reliable) he told me that if your iPod headphones were broken (ie no sound in one ear) or if you put in different headphones in with the same problem, then your iPod would kind of program itself to only transmit sound to the headphone what works, even if you put in headphones that have both earpieces working, the iPod thinks that only one works..
Could be complete rubbish, or maybe he was talking about old models, or something..

Stop taking advice from people whose arse cheeks flap while they speak.

Not anymore, the numbers of those avoiding DRM files is increasing and the sellers/manufactures are starting to take note.

Some now have released all their tracks with the DRM restrictions removed.
The writing is on the wall for DRM.

STAY CLEAR!!! of gsmsolutionsltd(****.ie) whatever you do!!! It is run by this guy here .

I had a VERY BAD experience with this guy ending in me having to throw my ipod in the bin !!!:mad::mad:.

@ [artx] I'm not being smart here but have you tried a different set of earphones? Have you tried padding the inside of the jack to see if the sound returns ?

Hi, I realise this is an old post - did you manage to solve the problem? I am having the exact same problem with my ipod which is also a 30GB ipod classic

It needs one of these.
I'm looking for an EU e-tailer too, any help appreciated!
