Now the European Union is doing something about it, revising its safety requirements for personal music players to reduce the risk of hearing damage from prolonged use: by default, music players will be liRead | Permalink | Linking Blogs Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:30:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/lm/reviews/36752 The fifth iteration of Apple's tiny portable media player keeps the same featherweight body as its predecessor but adds a bigger screen and video recording.
