iPodVolumeBooster is a program which acts as a workaround for the volume limited iPods sold in Europe, which are restricted to 100 decibels of sound output.

In order to perform this, the program changes a database which is commonly maintaineaned by the iPod. This means that the MP3 / AAC files carried by the iPod will not be touched.

Note that the usage of this program can cause permanent hearing damages!

What's New:
added: A Bug which arise since the introduction of iTunes V4.9 which leads iPodVolumeBooster to crash. This bug is related to the new PodCast Feature and has been fixed in V1.1
fixed: iPodVolumeBooster does now maintain a Boost Log which is carried on your iPod. This Boost Log holds the 100 recent boosts and is accessible either:
on the iPod itself (there a a special File called BoostLog in the iPod Notes.
In iPodVolumeBooster itself when you have connected the iPod.
changed: Reintroduced the facility to boost negative in order to reduce the Volume of the iPod. I've put this feature back from V0.4 again on request of a couple of users.
changed: The Volume level of all titles can now be restored according the settings in iTunes.
added: The Model Info Pane does now show the capacity of your iPod too.
added / fixed: New Localizations. The following Languages has been added:
Dutch by Henk van Oeffel
French by Jean-Christophe Lenoble
changed: Revised iPod Recognition code.
changed/added: Support of all currently distibuted iPod Models. Even the shuffle, nano and 5th Gen (Video) iPods are supported.
changed: The iPods of the 1st Generation now are handled exactly the same way like his brothers. This will lead in an additional Boost of the Volume!
changed: The iPod nano will be handled slightly different in order to get more boost ;-)
changed: Guess what? The Graphical User Interface has been updated again ;-)
