Mac News: iPod : New Software Lets iPod Users Turn Down Max Volume

MY black Skullcandy Smokin Buds already have an adjustable switch on the outside, I listen to it at a level that allows me to hear people moving around me, maybe because I'm not into being mugged? But kids will be kids. My father admitted to listening to the 1812 Overture so loud his mother would have to go outside. Every generation likes loud music. It wasn't until the last 50 years that we have had the ability to make ourselves deafer than Helen Keller.

Mac News: iPod : New Software Lets iPod Users Turn Down Max Volume: "Owners of recent iPods will now be able to set how loud their digital music players can go. Apple Computer (Nasdaq: AAPL) Latest News about Apple, facing complaints and a lawsuit claiming the popular player can cause hearing loss, made the setting available as part of a new software update Wednesday.

The free download applies to the iPod Nano and the iPod models with video-playback capabilities.

Parents also can use the feature to set a limit on their child's iPod and lock it with a code, the company added."

In this age of lack of personal responsibility and since most of America doesn't understand the Darwin Theory (or awards!) a company must fix it so that stupid children don't hurt their tiny little ears. Bwaaah! This is right up there with a plastic bag is not a toy.
