Shuffle gen4 tunes do not play as loud as they did on the gen2

I now have the new shuffle gen4 and my tunes do not play as loud as they did on the gen2, I have adjusted max vol settings under devices in itunes and even tried maxing out the volume per mpeg file,. no joy!,   is there less amplification on gen4?, anyone know please?

Thanks for reply SM150, I only use Sony in-ear phones, however they provide an excellent amplification on  the gen2 shuffle, this is def reduced when I play back the same song on the gen4 using same earphones!
I do however use an older version of itunes on the gen2, this would be the only difference,.. I'm thinking that most people possibly do not notice this difference as you would have to compare the song on both shuffles,. it may only be a 10% reduction say, but for some of my recorded music, that extra % is really missed!

  • Why do some songs not play through entirely when they have in the past?

    In both iTunes and on my iPhone and iTouch, certain songs that used to play completely now stop with just less than a minute left on them.  I checked "Info" on the songs and nothing is set to stop the song before it reaches the end.  Any thoughts?

    It is from iTunes not the web. The link is a screenshot of what happens in iTunes.

  • My ipodmy ipod shuffle 4th gen does not play whole songs, only parts then goes on to next song

    My recently bought ipod shuffle 4th gen does not play whole songs synced to it, only the beginning then goes on to the next song.  What have I done wrong?

    I changed the iPod to Disk mode and it just blinks orange while it is connected to the PC. It says that it is synched on the PC screen but I thought the blinking orange light means that it isn't. I took it back out of disk mode. The original problem still exists...when I turn it on, the green light stays lit for 5 seconds then there's no light at all....when I press play the lights alternate orange and green indicating no music is loaded which is wrong since it shows all my songs that are loaded when it is connected to my PC. What a mess.

  • When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally.

    When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally. i have an iPhone 5. I think this happened sometime after the last upgrade but I am not sure when. is there a setting on the phone that may have gotten changed somehow?

    Slide your finger up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Controls panel. One button controls orientation lock to prevent the screen rotating as you rotate the phone. You can toggle that control on and off as you need. Slide the panel back down when you are finished with it.

    It is else it would not have been able to be selected to import.
    The simple fact that it shows up in iTunes Search means it is in the iTune library.
    It is a bug where some imports do not show up in the iTunes library (but they usually show up in Recently Imported playlist) until a restart of iTunes, which usually fixes it.

  • IPOD 80GB Classic not playing all songs but they play in ITUNES

    After I synch all the songs are displayed on the IPOD but some will not play. They just skip to another song or album. This does not happen in ITUNES only on the IPOD

    *Skipping songs*
    The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
    You may like to try scanning the files with MP3 Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
    Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/option clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags > None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
    Personally I've have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. (Grrr - I see the convert file to format feature has disapeared in iTues 9.1 so this might not be so easy if you've upgraded.) Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

  • Ive updated my iphone 4 to ios5 and the music will not play atall even though its all on the phone is anyone else having this problem?

    Obviously Ive had the same errors originally but the software has updated fine now. But for some reason the music on the phone will not play atall! with or with out headphones. It seems too just be staying at 0.00mins and even if I fast forward it it just stays at the particular mins fast forwarded to. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Similar symptom here.  I gathered from other threads that by removing all the songs and re-sync them back to iPhone4 would sort the problem!  I tried with one album and it seemed to have work fine!  So I removed all the songs and transferred them back again!  However, I could not launch Music app any more!  Click on Music and it just stopped, i.e. could not be launched!!!
    However, I noticed that I could still play all the songs through headphone control.  But if you play without the headphone plugged in, no sound comes out of the phone speaker!!!!!
    Aarrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
    Apple - surely you must seriously look into this and come out with resolutions by now!  Would SJ step in by now????? RIP SJ!  Apple, in fact all of us, miss you - with diferent reasons !!!
