The verdict will no doubt be overturned in a heartbeat, but it’s the right decision and a victory for common sense. I’m almost ready to forgive the French for making Euro-iPods too quiet.
(incidentally, is it just me or is there something a bit odd about wanting to watch Mulholland Drive with your mum? “Hey, ma! Lesbians!”)

Aaaah, it all make sense now.
Out of all the iPods I’ve listened to (belonging to my friends), mine was the loudest. I bought it in New York.
Then when it stopped working (which it did), I got a replacement from Apple, shipped, I think, from Amsterdam or Dublin. And it’s now much quieter..!
I’ve been trying to figure out why for ages…
EU noise level limits – they apply to all portable audio, not just digital. There’s a hack – if you’re on the mac, google for iPod Volume Booster. Does what it says on the tin.
