postings are taken seriously enough that I, for one, will skip the upgrade and wait on the the next. These 'it sucks, crashes, and destroyed my directory' etc. Some qualify what they post, some just post that 'it sucks and crashes, destroyed my ipod (or whatever)' On just about every one of these Apple upgraders, someone or more than one macker posts negative comments. So, what's the bottom line? Is this an upgrade that should be skipped?īased on reviews, the ipod upgraders (regardless of version) have to be considered to be Apple's 'most dangerous.' Cool feature - thank goodness for 'frivolous' lawsuits. Since I never have to set the volume higher than halfway at the most anyway, why not limit it to halfway? I can easily enough change the max if needed. Further, for me, I can set the limit to what I consider to be more than loud enough, and then I never have to worry about accidentally bumping the volume up to painful levels (which I've done it on a few occasions when attempting to scan forward or set a star rating via the scrollwheel). It's useful in two ways for me: allowing my 5 year old to listen to my iPod, as he so wishes to do, without having again to worry about him changing the volume to too high of a level.

Note that you can set this with or without a code lock. I haven't tested any videos yet, but can't comment on its affect on the old video playback issues anyway, as I've been using more recent versions of iSquint and Handbrake which already resolved those playback issues themselves - I've no old conversions to test with.

It does appear to fix the endless star ratings screen bug. I've only had it installed for an hour or so on my 60 GB 5G, but so far so good.
