scottf Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Does anyone know where you can download the programme that takes off the volume limiter on an ipod nano?? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabbleRatcht Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I think you will find that the volume is limited by the hardware, i.e. the size of the amplifier. My, now stolen, Sony minidisc was fantastic. My iPod and Vaio portable are shadows in terms of audio performance. They are protecting themselves from being sued. But I agree, they don't go loud enough. I would rather have a machine that will deafen me and I could choose not to, rather than something that distorts as soon as you choose to listen a little louder.

mr chris Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 EU regulations mean the volume has to be limited at a certain level. My iPod is from the US where no such regulations exist. So I can happily deafen myself. For an extra volume boost, select everything in your library, right click and go to properties/get info. You should be able to increase the volume by up to another 100% It's the best you're going to get, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 The software that you want is euPOD, it is easy to find on google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantomas Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 You can get the software from http://gopod.free-go.net/ but it only works on 1st-gen Nanos. They're working on a new version to deal with the 2nd-gen Nanos, but no idea when it'll be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Another solution is better headphones. iPods don't like high impedence (?) ear phones as it places a higher strain on the amp so it can't go as loud. If you get some with a very high sensitivity then the amp doesn't have to work as hard so can usually push louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallonoroff Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I find the volume on my (1st Gen) Nano is fine. On most tracks i can't turn it past about 2/3s of the way without wanting to rip my ears off it hurts so much. I don't have the Volume Limiting system turned on, but i think you can switch it on and off in iTunes. (To be honest i've never actually looked) Apple's page on the matter is HERE for anyone interested. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my own moulded in ear monitors, i.e they only fit me and basically 'isolate' you, but the iPod( 2nd gen original, not Nano ) still isn't loud enough. I like my music loud when the mood takes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xircon Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 If you use eupod - watch out it doesn't always work on all tracks, which is more annoying than all the tracks being quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
