I am having some trouble getting much volume out of some of the CDs that I load while others are quite loud. I think it might be the ones that I copy over from my big machine via a network. Everything on my laptop is set to have the volume up as loud as possible. Any ideas about this. I like to listen to books or newspaper while I'm in the bath and can't listen on my iPod. terry http://www.terrypogue.com/Terry OS 10.4.1
