<<<with RGB cables. >>> Another red flag. With.... what? In general you can't use component video cables to do this. You need one of these... http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=23690 ...or shorter. It's pretty hard to overload a Mac Stereo Line-In, so something is very wrong. ...

You can try to convert all your files into WAV with Super or Switch (download). One or the other or both may have a batch mode. Audacity is a terrible converter and...

You weren't fishing for the Audacity "Professional Audio Filter," were you?
