hmm, i have maxed out my ipod volume and still not loud enough for several songs... i hope this doesn't mean my hearing is failing

did you record them with volume leveling? Is it turned on? Do you have the "maximum" volume set on your iPod/iPhone? Can you raise it?

FYI, earbuds have been linked to hearing loss if used more than 1-2 hours/day. I use them just for workouts and headphones for the rest.
yes, everything is leveled/set correctly.... wonderful news about the earbuds since i use them all day long... joy

but it's a good excuse to go out and get some noise canceling, over-the-ear headphones!
