And has the obvious (If you use reasonable headphones or proper speakers) sound distortion ceased ?

sound distortion ceased ?

Is it wise to ask what you mean ? (Or am I opening a can of worms)

I’ve not noticed any sound distortion…..

It affects all of my CD rips - unfortunately I chose to rip all (just over 1,000) of my CD’s in iTunes 10.1.2 by which stage I’m sure they’d released a fix for the “distortion issue” of iTunes 10.1, but it appears not unfortunately :(
