iPod Update to Address Volume-Level Concerns

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the still-listening-to-their-customers dept.

aardwolf64 writes "In an apparent response to the hearing loss lawsuit against Apple, the company has released an update to the iPod nano and 5th generation iPod that allows the user to set the maximum volume level. Parents can even set a lock code that prevents the volume from going above a certain amount." Apple also has instructions at their site on how to implement the changes

  1. iPod needs a lower 'low' by smenor · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My principal complaint with the iPod's volume control is that it isn't fine-grained enough.

    When there's a lot of ambient noise, the granularity isn't a big deal.

    It really bugs me if I'm in a quiet environment, though. There's a sharp jump from 0 volume to a level that's already uncomfortably loud for me.
