First thing: try restoring the iPod software using the iPod software updater (preferably the latest version downloaded from the Apple site). There's an off-chance it might help.

Also try using the EQ, to turn it on for vocals and that migth help the vocals sound clearer.

Actually, EQ can worsen distortion.

For destroying what many hands have spent countless hours mixing and mastering to the point where it sounds like it's meant to.

Weird that EQ is.

yes, another speaker thread am looking for speakers for my bedroom...to hook up to a powerbook (thru an airport express); narrowed it down (i think) to these: klipsch promedia…

The jbl creatures look kinda neat, but the crossover problem inherent in every satellite system is taken to an appalling extreme here: The mids are non-existent. You've got ouch-…

On the other hand Klipsch speakers have a reputation for being rather good.

What nJm said. I haven't heard the Promedia 2.0s but the Creature IIs sound bad, I would recommend against them.

funny... i have a music biz friend who has the jbl's in his office, loves them. both speakers have good reviews. ilounge loves the jbls. on amazon, both get raves (and dislikes, …

I worked at an Apple Store last summer, and had the fortunate experience of hearing all our speakers being turned up to the max everyday, afterwhich I concluded the klipsch we had …

I was trying to play a WMV a little bit ago, and the app wouldn't open. So I trashed Win Media Player and said some things about Microsoft but then realized that I cannot get any n…

Startup from your Mac OS X install CD and run disk utility from there, or try applejack to repair them

I will give that a try in the morning, when I get back to my studio. Thanks. SAm

Well, it seemed to repair the many incorrect permissions fine but I still am unable to open any applications that use Rosetta. I get a single bounce from the icon in the dock and t…

Rosetta can not be disabled (afaik). Open Console.app and see whether you get some message when trying to open a PowerPC application. If it really crashes you might get a crash lo…

Ok, here is tha log that appears when I try to open an application with Rosetta. I will post a couple for different apps. Pages: dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Framewo…

Soory, I just re-read your post and realized that the log I posted was not in the exact path you specified. ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/ doesn't seem to have any logs for PPC apps…

Looks like some of your libraries are laking the PPC version. Paste the following into Terminal and post the results here (it will tell us for which architecture it is available): …

Did you maybe use some tool to strip the PowerPC-part from some of your system libraries and/or applications to save space? Cause those libraries seem to be Intel only and PowerPC …

SON OF A MONKEY'S BUTT. You're right. In another thread on this forum someone mentioned Monolingual to save a few GBs of space. I had forgotten all about that. I can do the archi…
