Same problem here. I ride a local trail a lot, and some days upward of
50% of the walkers have ear buds plugged in; then they get mad because
you scared them by passing on the left, even after ringing a bell, etc.
Nothing you can do, really, except avoid them when they jump!

Bells are wonderful things, much better than "on your left", which invariably
leads to someone leaping to the left in front of your bike. But both are near useless on
my local paths, because everybody uses those damn iPods. I'm usually resigned to
approaching slow and far left, hoping they don't panic at the last second. Especially
entertaining on my recumbent trike, which is wide and low, and a huge shock to a walker
in music la la land.
