Solution to the EU Volume Limitation!

[yrellag]

YES IMOD WORKS!!!

I heard a friends American ipod and wanted mine to sound as good...

So here it is..

It does the job 100% removing the junk volume block that ruins any Euro ipod.

Purchased a brand new G4 40gb Euro ipod from me local PC world here today in the uk,
put on itunes and a few albums.

Downloaded iMod from:

http://www.pochoirs.de/software_es.htm

Then run it...

The first time i tryed it nothing, then second time Bingo.

Volume goes much, much louder, and the ipod has a much more deeper sound.

Great work, at last a fix for people here in the UK that wish for a ipod like one from the USA. So it's job done!

Great work iMod who ever you are!

Very clever and Kind to boot!

Intrigued by the TinkerTool solution, but download.com suggests the program is only applicable to OS X.

Is there a corresponding solution (ie. locating secret limit file and, er, eliminating it) for OS 9.2?

I am an ignoramus and am uncertain which "generation" iPod I have. It's the 40G one (acquired, Christmas 2003) with buttons and clickwheel.

Thanks in advance for any help you people can afford me.

Best,

Mojo Man

FYI, also worked with my girlfriend's 3G 15GB iPod for Mac.

Just used iMOD on my iPod Mini, it works great!
The low volume was driving me nuts, useless on the tube, now I should be able to hear the music and not the rattling of the carriages - ha!

Thanks iPodders!

My USA bought 40G/3rdGen pod's battery went awol after 8 months. Back to Apple (europe). Replacement (not brand new?), LOW volume(so beware when returning USA stock for repair in UK). iMod cured this!!! The other recommended site is all in German, I can't use it.
Thanks for this tip.

Use Gopod, it's in English. iMod site is in German. Makes it harder if you cannot read German.
ps Gopod worked for me.

I have 2 iPods - 60GB Photo and 1GB Shuffle - and both suffer from sounding too quiet. Both are Eu (bought in the UK). I have tried both Eupod and GoPod after reading through this thread - GoPod won't recognise the Shuffle and Eupod claims it has boosted the Shuffle but it still sounds quite quiet to me.

So despite all these things it's the Shuffle that I can't get loud. Do other people find that GoPod works on the Shuffle?

Also - although my Photo is better and does sound louder- I can't help thinking from reading other people's comments that mine isn't as loud as I'd like. Anyone find that their iPod is still not really loud despite trying all these things?

Does uncapping the euro iPod, and so on allowing you to play your songs louder, affect the battery capasity of the iPod? Louder volume should result in lower battery...
