hello all! i dont knwo whether this has been posted before but i think its useful ive had my ipod photo for a while now i find that the maximum volume is pants so done some research and found a programme that "uncaps" your ipod to have louder volume. its so simple and easy too Clicky here heres how to do it plug in your ipod first 1. download the software from the link 2. open up the file and extract "goPod-1.4" 3. then there should be another window with another file "goPod-1.4", open it 4. the goPod logo should be visable, click on this and run the software. 5. when the software has open up, simply click on the "GO" button and it should say something like "ipod uncapped" 6. then close the programme and eject the ipod 7 reset the ipod (hold enter and "menu" for 5 seconds) and you should notice your volume goes LOUDER!! BTW this only works with EU ipods thought i'd share it with you peoples Thanks!! JK
