The iPod Nano works much the same way as the iPhone and iPod Touch to control volume. If you want to increase the volume on an iPod Nano, you can do so using the buttons on the side of the device. You can also use a set of headphones so that you can attach your iPod to a belt while working out or moving. Be careful that you don't set the iPod volume so high that you damage your hearing.
