In an effort to shield itself from possible legal action, Apple announced the availability of a software update Wednesday that can set a maximum volume setting on the iPod. The update is available for fifth generation iPods and the iPod nano. Furthermore, parents could also set a maximum volume setting and lock it with a combination code, the company said.
"With the increased attention in this area, we want to offer customers an easy to use option to set their own personal volume limit," Apple marketing president Greg Joswiak said in a statement. The software update is available immediately from the iPod software download page, and is compatible with any accessory plugged into the headphone jack, as well as the iPod Radio Remote.
