Hello all, I currently have a set of speakers, and the left one goes out periodicaly. I am looking for new speakers, but until then, I would like to make my music play mono instead of stereo, so that I do not lose half of the music. I want to keep my files in stereo for when I get my new speakers though. Does anyone know how to do this in iTunes?

use a 1/8" male stereo to female mono adapter.
might be 2 bucks at radio shack.

Not that I can tell, you'd probably be better off going the route of eric's methods.

yeah, it's easy and cheap and you can always keep it and use it if you want to listen to headphones/earbuds with only one ear.

uhh... why not just go into system prefs > sound > output > and slide the slider to which ever one doesnt go out? That wold work for a temporary solution.
