[QUOTE="musicLover68, post: 1322436, member: 222121"] Hello fellow Mac users, Three days ago I put a new CD in my iMac7,1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GHz in order to import the tunes into iTunes. I have done this countless times and have nearly 10,000 songs on iTunes. The disc seemed to import okay but when I played back the files as imported onto iTunes the music was all horribly, and I mean horribly, distorted, like an amplifier with a blown loudspeaker. I deleted the files and tried again. Same result. I then tried to play the CD live via iTunes and again the sound was very badly distorted. I decided I needed to find out if the CD/DVD drive was faulty so I went to Finder and looked up the CD on it. I was able to open the CD on Finder and from the list of tracks I was able to select any .aiff file and play it perfectly through the Finder so this I think means the actual CD/DVD drive is fine. I then uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled a new copy from the Apple website. It still has the above fault, i.e. any imported tracks are badly distorted and even playing a CD live via iTunes gives a horrible distorted playback but playing the CD through the Finder it plays back fine. As I have installed a fresh copy of iTunes does this mean there is a software corruption somewhere within OSX (10.5) between the CD/DVD drive and iTunes? If anyone else has suffered this problem or similar can you tell me please how you solved it. I fear I might have to reinstall OSX :Confused: Best regards, Micky musicLover68 [/QUOTE]
