Why do most of my downloads sound like they have been recorded underwater??????

I don't know.

What player are you using? The LW player is pretty awful, have you tried disabling it (tools > options > player) & using another player? Is it only downloaded music that has this problem? Did you preview any of the files while downloading?

You need to tell us a little bit more

Thanks for the reply. I was using the LW player but there is no difference with it off, it still sounds awfull! Is this because i have downloaded a poor quality file? Some of my downloads sound great. I do preview some tracks but i downloaded half a dozen yesterday and they were all poor quality. Saying poor quality, it appears that it's just the lyrics that are effected?

Are you sure it's the songs. What about other songs on your computer. Do they play ok? I know someone complained about something similar & it turned out to be a system audio setting. But if other songs play ok, then perhaps you were unlucky to get some bad files.

Thanks a million it's all fixed. Someone had changed some audio settings. Went in to itunes and all downloads in there were awful 2.
