Mic support for ipod touch 1G

No, audio recording is a feature only possible on the second-generation iPod touch.

Not true as of 2.2! Audio input has been enabled on the 1st gens. Some mics will work right out of the box now.

Hi, I am another ipod touch 1st generation user who is looking for a compatible mic and headphones so that I can make voice recordings. I bought the application called "Voxie" from the applications store without realizing that I needed to have a compatible mic with ipod touch 1st generation. However, up until now, I have had no luck in finding one. Also, while I was looking for this I was told that ipod touch 1st generation did not support mics. Therefore, when I read your message here to 'Tyler'(?) letting him know that there are mics to support the 1st generation, I thought that may be you could tell me which mics to buy? Or, give me some more information on this subject.

Kind regards,

Hi maddy64: I beleive the only type of Mic to work with the 1st generation iPod Touch is the type that connect via the dock connector, not the headphone jack.

If this is, I would like to know if us 1G users can then use Shazam? Also which dock station are you using? Headphones anyone???

Hi Stedman,

Thanks for your message. Do you know off hand any particular models/make of mics that I may buy that will work with the 1st generation ipod touch, so that I may make voice recordings? Also, would I need compatible headphones too?

Many thanks,

Hello all,

I have not tried it, but it looks like the iVoiceIII by Macally works with 1G IPT.

I am using an iVoice III mic with my Touch 1g. It worked straight away with Fring, out of the box.

I also changed the .plist file inside the .ipa folder so that the 4 track recording app from Sonoma Wire Works would load onto my Touch. This is the best app ever and brilliant for anyone remotely interested in songwriting or practicing harmonies.

Shazam, as yet won't work. I can get it onto the Touch but it's refusing to recognise the mic.

It looks like we touch 1g users are minority.. T T.
It's a minority report.
Eweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee hew.

Majortiy-1st iphone 3G users
Majortiy-2st original iphone users
Majortiy-3st ipodtouch 2G users.
Minority-ipod touch 1G users

Anyone can ask app store to release recording apps to ipod touch 1G users???

i'm not sure i'd agree with your 'minority' assessment. there are plenty 1Gen users on here, although (without detailed study) i would say there do seem to be more problems with th 2Gens (therefore fewer 1G users on these forums where people come to ask about their problems)

i'm not sure if this is the right place to send app requests, but you could try it.
