So, you are saying that the volume-cap setting is stored as well in the flash memory part that is never erased. So, can I go ahead and update my US iPod safely to 2.0.1 without risking I colume-cap that as well? _________________________ = Taym = MK2a #040103216 * 100Gb All/Colors Radio * 3.0a11 * Hijack = taympeg
