Re: Volume adjusting?

Beware European users tho...
as the volume of your iPods has been capped.
I think this is at least since firmware release 1.3 and is even more
apparent of the software for the third generation iPod (vs 2.00) as the
volume limit has been reduced further for this release (for both headphones
and cradle line out).

If you use MP3Gain and adjust your MP3s to the default value of 89db (I
think it is the same value as Ephpod uses but am not certain) then they can
become too quiet for your iPod to be useful in situations such as these:

1) on European city streets
2) in the gym
3) on a bus
4) on a plane
5) whilst riding a bicyle

MP3Gain will show you just how loud you can have your MP3s until they begin
to distort. In my experience the program has it dead right.. for the iPod..

Absolutely, mp3gain is wonder software.  Several larger cataloging programs
are starting to use it's technology for their volume leveling capabilities.
Best thing about it, it doesn't alter the .mp3 (i.e. uncompress, level,
recompress), just changes the volume settings.

I've used it to get my entire 7500+ song catalog at the same volume level,
and it works so great on the iPod, no more cranking the thing for a soft
song then watching my car windshield explode when then next tune comes up.

Cheers,
Mick
