The problem only affected CDs encoded with Pre-emphasis. Pre-emphasis encoded CDs have high frequencies boosted to some extent, and need them to be reduced after ripping. Pre-emphasis supposedly provides a better noise-floor than normal CDs, but is only of a benefit to music with a large dynamic range.
It seems that the software component of iTunes that implemented the equalisation curve developed a fault as of iTunes 10.5, producing heavily distorted discs.
Very few CDs these days are encoded with pre-emphasis - limited mainly to some independent classical labels, such as BIS and the discs provided with the BBC Music Magazine. In the past, though, it was more common, particularly with CDs pressed in Japan.
Software update was 16MB don't know what you are talking about.
If you get it from Software Update on Lion it's the delta and only 16.6MB.
If you get it from Software Update on Leopard (PPC) it's 79.0MB. I would assume that's the full PPC version.
While that's certainly better I still don't understand why it's not in the App Store yet.
1. This package is a full install package, not an incremental update.
2. The reason why is large is because the package bundles both the PowerPC and Intel versions of the App.
Otherwise it would be about the same size of the windows package, even smaller as most Mac OS X apps don't require a special installer program like Windows programs do.
I don't understand why you would what could have been a good post, talking non-sense; but hey, everyone has the right to give their opinion. The problem is that your comment is making you look really bad.
