As most of you obviously don’t know, the EU regulation was not to limit the max volume on mp3/mp4 players, but to make sure that users are aware of the risks to their hearing if they set the volume too loud. All that SanDisk should have done to comply with the EU regulation was to set the “normal” volume level as default, and if the user tried to change the setting to “high” a simple message popped up saying “listening at this level can cause hearing damage. Are you sure?”, or something to that effect. But of course not, that would be too complicated, and why not go the easier way? Plus EU will get all the blame, so it’s a win-win as far as SanDisk is concerned.

It’s not just SanDisk that have limited the volume, other companies are doing the same with their players. At least with our Sansas, we have the option to over-ride the limitation.
