Music Player Question

Hi everybody,

First of all sorry for my bad English!

I was playing some music on my 9900 speakers today with a couple of friends and noticed something: When I choose a music number for my ring tone and then hit the try button all the way down (or if you get called it's the same effect) it's a lot and I really mean 'A LOT' louder then playing the exact same song as music through the media player. I noticed the same thing when I was trying out a HTML 5 video on the web browser at HTML5 Video Player | VideoJS it's a lot louder ands also sounds better.

Is this a bug/glitch/fail ? Or does this have a reason and can somebody please explain me?

I'm sorry if this threat has been already made but I couldn't find it;)!

Thanks a lot guys.

There was a thread on it, but it was mostly inconclusive. My suspicion is, assuming this isn't some glitch that has never been fixed, that RIM intentionally programmed it this way. There are a few logical reasons why they would do this:
- hearing a ring tone is more important than listening to music most of the time
- they don't want the speakers to get blown out by the prolonged playing of loud music, as opposed to the occassional ringtone
- it will be too taxing on the battery
