I’m surprised this doesnt get louder. the other one I had even had a volume limitation you could set if too loud lol. the Region did make it louder but still not as loud as I was hoping. still a improvement at least. I gotta hope I dont lose it now lol. I can with stand the currently lvl for now at least. Thanks. Still rather sansa over ipod… best mp3 players that I have had and i have gone though a few of them
