Apple Not Liking Them Apple Bottom Jeans? Or Boots With The Fur?

This has been something that I’ve been wondering about for a while now. The song Low by Flo Rida isn’t amazing, but it’s in lot’s of people’s music libraries. Including mine.

I originally thought it was a firmware issue. I was partially correct, I guess. On firmware 1.1.4/1.1.5 for my iPod Touch, the song would skip after about 16 seconds. On the newest, 2.2.1, the song seems to keep playing but skips randomly, reliving the good old memories of skipping CD players…

Now, there seems to be problems playing this song on an iPod. Do a Google Search yourself. There doesn’t seem to be an official explanation or workaround from Apple, but there are a few suggestions from people online, such as…

- convert song to AAC

- burn to CD and re-rip

- don’t listen to this song

I haven’t tried any of the above, but I’m more curious to know why this happens. The song plays fine on the computers. Is it a grudge against Flo Rida? Is it because there’s the word “Apple” in the song? You decide.
