Hi all,
Real Mac newbie here. I love the Mini, slick and good-looking. Just one bit of grief though. I have the standard CD-RW/DVD drive, and while DVDs play nice and quietly, playing music CDs through iTunes is a real chore. The drive is so loud it really detracts from the music, and makes my desk vibrate! Seeing that CD playback only requires 1x speed, and DVDs can play slow enough, why does iTunes seem to play CDs at max pace? Crazy.
So, my question: short of burning all my CDs to the hard drive in iTunes (not keen - takes time and wastes space - why have the music in two places?), is there any way to "force" the CD drive to play at a lower speed for playback?
Thanks for any tips you can give.
