Does anyone know if the update fixes the problem on the ipod nano where it shows the wrong album art for songs?

And about the podcast menu not showing up: did you try going to Setttings, then Main Menu and turning Podcast to "on"?

My Settings->Main Menu has Playlists, Artists, Albums, Songs, Genres, Composers and Audiobooks
 
This is good - It gives people the option if they want it, but doesn't force a limit on anyone that doesn't want it.

Unless you live in Europe I guess, right?

I'm happy with the volume limit we have here. It's plenty loud enough. How much louder are the US ones?
*shouts* I said how much louder are the US ones?
 
This sounds like a response to that legal crap that was in the news a while back. It reminds me of that Will Ferrell switcher ad - "Santa got hit with a lawsuit"....:rolleyes:
 
I was just thinking about my desire for a volume cap while letting my 5 year old listen to music while waiting for an appt. Thanks Apple! This seems to fit the bill nicely.

Same iPod I have, yet "Podcast" doesn't seem to show up anywhere, aside from being just one of the genres. I was hoping for the equivalent of Audiobooks which you can even have on the main menu.

lemme see what iPod software I have...Version 2.3, model P9245LL.

This is the 3G iPod, right? You probably have to go to Settings>Main Menu and turn Podcasts ON. (You can also turn on and off a whole bunch of other Main Menu options, including Shuffle Songs.)

I got the 4G iPod, so don't hate me if this doesn't work...:p
 
Still doesn't fix the major bug that major video bug. Unbelievable. Watching user-encoded videos is still not worth the headaches. Thanks a lot apple.
 
I've never had a problem with high volumes since I am actually knowledgeable enough to set it where I am comfortable at... :p But this is a nice update. This one gets a Positive. :D
 
Overall, I'll call this update "good" as it still leaves options to the iPod's owner or parent. I still have Major Issues with corporate entities or govenments putting too many hands too far down my pants. Poor Europeans and their French mandated listening levels. I suppose loud anything is generally bad for one's hearing, but I have to say, I'm 51 and I've been listening to LOUD rock and roll for several decades now. My first concert was The Who in 1970 - my ears rang for 3 days. Once in the Navy I had a roving patrol tell me to turn down my stereo because he could hear it 50 feet down the hall. I told him I was wearing headphones(Koss Pro4AA studio cans) and he freaked(I think it was Black Sabbath). I still have excellent hearing so I debunk the automatic hearing loss myth.

Anyway, back on topic, thanks for letting us run our own lives, music at least, Apple.

Does that bug only affect the 60 GB models? I encode my own videos all the time and haven't encountered a single problem with my 30 GB.
 
I'm another guy who likes loud music. It doesn't bother me at all. I have 2 10" sub woofers in my car (and they're not for rap music) but, music sounds better with a nice bass sound. Without the bass there, it doesn't sound full. I am also a drummer in a band so I listen to loud live music too. It doesn't matter what kind of cap they put on the iPod as long as I can plug it into my car stereo and turn up the stereo.

If you think about it, there is a lot of things that people do that is bad for their health like: Smoking, Drinking, Drugs, Poor diets or Stressful work. Loud music is just another thing people do to destroy just another part of their health.

i hope this fixes the bug on the iPod Nano - when you try to rate songs on the ipod using the center button and it gets stuck on that screen.

Great News but not for me

This is great news, this is my first post even though I visit macrumors every single day. Anywyas, i am glad Apple is doing these updates for more sensitive people. Sorry to put this here, but i am so sad, i went to my cousins house and there was some people i did not know and somebody stold my ipod, 30G 5th. Generation. I am sad and mad:( Just thought i shared.
 
still doesn't fix the backlight problems that appeared with the last update... on my 5g, holding 'menu' no longer toggles the backlight, but instead takes you to the top of the menu. meaning, most significantly, that when watching movies you cannot choose to have the blacklight off. lame
