I am having problems with my surround sound system. The sound effects and music are very loud but I can barely hear the people talking. I have to crank the volume up to hear the dialoge and when the action starts all of a sudden my ear drums are blown out. Its a Sony dolby digital 5.1 system. Any recommedations on what I am doing wrong? Thanks so much
All the dialog comes out of the center speaker. You should have an option to turn that up, and of course make sure it is working correctly.

The Bose SoundDock 10 digital music system is the best-performing SoundDock system for your iPod or iPhone. It delivers performance you have to hear to believe. The SoundDock 10 system reproduces music with a generous range, from the deep lows of the bass line to the soaring highs of the vocalist. Its depth and clarity are reinforced by Bose waveguide speaker technology, introduced in the Bose Wave music system. To design the SoundDock 10 system, Bose engineers intricately folded the waveguide around a specially designed woofer, allowing both to fit into a small space. The woofer with motor strength roughly equivalent to four conventional woofers is strengthened by the waveguide, so it can deliver clear, natural sound and help fill a room with music. It's also easy to use. Just place your iPod or iPhone into the dock and play. The system is Apple-certified and compatible with all iPhone and most iPod models. The SoundDock 10 system includes an auxiliary input for other audio devices and a video output, so you can watch iPod video on a TV while listening to it on the system. Your iPod or iPhone will keep charging even while playing as long as its docked and the system is plugged in. A convenient remote control operates the system, lets you select iPod playlists, and switches back and forth between your iPod/iPhone and other connected sources. An optional Bluetooth dock accessory makes it easy to enjoy the acoustic performance of the SoundDock 10 system with your stereo Bluetooth music phone. Just insert the Bluetooth dock into your SoundDock 10 system, connect your phone and select your music. Bluetooth technology sends it wirelessly to the SoundDock 10 system.

Sonos 130 Music System: Review
I'm creating a digital music library from CD's, which audio file format should I use and why?
Here is my dilemma, I want to consolidate all of my music to a huge hard drive. I have thousands of CD's and want to know which file format will sound best (and at what kbps I should import) and be the most "universal" should I in the future want to get a portable digital player OR convert to another format. I don't want to deal with a whole lot of hassle to do the following:
1.- Burn music to disc should I want to
2.- Transfer music to a portable player
3.- Create DVD's with CD audio for importing into my car's Hard Drive based audio system (I think it only accepts wav files)
Any opinions, thoughts, or "answers" to my current dilemma would be very appreciated.
Thanks for reading and your assistance.
Referencing my car stereo, I wanted to clearify, the Pioneer Avic-Z2 is what I'm using, and it plays a bunch of audio file formats but unfortunately it only "imports" to the hard drive WAV files (as far as I can tell).
How Anal are you about quality? Most people can't tell the difference between a 192kbps encoded AAC from a 320kpbs one. If you're seriously sensitive to sound quality, then you might want to go for a lossless format like FLAC (open source) or Apple Lossless (for iPods), they're not really that compressed but give great sound at the cost of dramatically more hard drive space used.
But if you don't mind compressed audio, then AAC format at 192kpbs (aka MP4) is probably your best bet for the time being, and is supported in most current portable players. And from your media jukebox software you can create custom mixes.
I wouldn't worry about "converting" to another format, because I wouldn't reccomend it in the first place. If you convert from another format, you're going to lose quality, so you're better off ripping off from the original disc again in the new format.
As for your stereo, check the manual, hopefully it accepts more than just WAV because that severely limits your options. Though you could play WAV files on just about anything, they're not encoded and can be 40-50MB per song, so it's not practical.
Here's a tekzilla episode short about lossless audio if you're interested: http://revision3.com/bestof/tekzilla-028/
