<<<certain songs won't play on my ipod>>>

You know we're going to ask, right? What's certain about them? They all came from the same download web site?

Do you get any error messages?

Oh, wait. Now 1.3.5 is working?

This must be a Windows machine, right?

Yes, he said he could pretty much get rid of the distortion by turning things down. I ...

You may be in love with the compression more than the quality. FM radio only has audio response up to 15000 Hz and very little past that, but you're right, they are all compressed. I'd probably be working in Audacity 1.3 because those tools are much better than earlier programs. Start with the equal...
