New Option to turn off EU Volume Cap?

Hi all,

Just purchased my new ipod classic 160gb from Argos in the UK and was a bit worried about the EU volume limit cap that everyone goes on about as I have been using my 30gb ipod video 5.5g which obviously hasn't got the cap.

Anyway, I went into volume settings and there is an option there to enable or disable the EU volume Cap. Well naturally I turned it to off and hey presto, the volume is as loud as my 5.5g video.

So, is this a new option as i've read nothing about it on the forums etc?

Very happy here!

iPod classic, Windows 7

It was suggested to me today that if I manage to get a new Classic with 2.0.5 firmware and I turn the EU volume limiter off, the first time that I use I-Tunes the limiter will be turned on again.

Correct? Any way around this?

Also, now that the Classic has been discontinued how long will it be before I-Tunes ceases to recognize it?

If that is what actually happens, then as previously stated - buy a pocket amplifier.
