IPod people: Do you realize how audible and annoying your 'private' earbuds can be? High volume and a heavy?

Yes!! it is so aweful. Most of the time, I just live with it bc I dont want to be a pain in the ***. However, when I am in the library at school trying to study so that i dont fail school and waste thousands of dollars, I ask people to turn them down. I think most people just dont notice, so if you ask nicely, they dont mind turning the muzac down.
