I use the line out on my iPod Classic to RCA, the click wheel DOES NOT control the volume on the line out dock connector.
Just got an iPod Video - need portable amp & cable(?)

Found further ramblings in Ipodlounge forums about the lack of a true line-out now on 6th gen Ipods. They are still saying "clickwheel still controls volume etc.
Well - I now have my Qables cable - have got it connected from ipod dock/socket on bottom into a Pocketamp 2v2/ GovibeV7 - can catagorically confirm that clickwheel does NOT operate/change volume. Sound (IMHO) is excellent - am now experimenting with various headphones,bitrates etc. Thanks again to JDN!

I believe it stores a tag in APEv2 format which contains all the information to undo the gain adjustments. Whether or not that's destructive, I don't know. (Destructive means you can't get the data back, right? So no, it wouldn't be destructive in that sense.)

Again, I'm not 100% positive, as it's been awhile since I read up on mp3gain, so you may want to check it out: http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net I believe is the site. |

Although this guy is probably right (At least makes a very valid point), I really like the Cute Beyond, firestone Audio's product line. Its a little more than $100 USD(I think 125$? If I remember correctly..) but the quality difference with my Ipod is incredible. I was honestly shocked at how much of a difference, things I could never hear before I could hear now. I even really have crappy headphones to be truthful, Im looking to upgrade on those now (if anyone has some suggestions I would love to hear?)
