The first time I encountered the infamous, bloody-ear-inducing PowerBook G4 “looping audio” problem, I thought it was part of the “glitch” music I was listening to at the time. (This genre is best described by Andrea, who calls it “music that hurts me,” “music that sounds like yelling,” and “did you make this?”) When it recurred during some Mendelssohn, with substantially greater ill aesthetic effect, I was more annoyed.
This is a ridiculous bug for Apple to have allowed into a shipping product, especially one that is otherwise as functional (and as likely to be used for audio-intensive tasks!) as the Powerbook. Today, John Wiseman posted about this issue and linked to powerbookdefect.info, where Apple users affected by this bug can sign what is certain to be an ultimately-ineffective petition about the matter.
Hey, I signed it anyway. Until then,
I’m currently listening to O Superman (For Massenet) from the album “Talk Normal: The Laurie Anderson Anthology (Remastered)” by Laurie Anderson
