    when I open a single audio file it says its using 10 -20% is this normal?
    I tried songbird, itunes and vlc and they all stay around that mark while a single file is playing

    That depends on what audio file you play and on what Mac with what CPU.

    An .mp3 file played in VLC on a 2GHz C2D CPU gets VLC 5% CPU activity.

    So what do you play on what with how much?
