Nasty slap echo
I have always the room was on the borderline of being overdamped. That is why i am scratching my head to this echo. Sounds like a "ping" that last for 1/2 second. Mainly at the front of the room. Will try to post some pics later tonight. 
Parents need clear sounding 2 ch HT
Haha...that may actually work Willis! What is the sound quality of the audio out on the direct tv sattelite box? Is Hdmi that much better? Worth getting a new processor with HDMI input?

Help Me select Mini
I bought the base model and sent it off to OWC for the upgrades. It all adds up and i could't afford to swing the 17 with all the upgrades. Should get it back Monday.

Ok...good news. I popped my 2007 Mac Mini on Ebay and got $256 for it. Now will be looking on Apple.com for a refurb unit and then have it shipped off for the upgrades. Thanks for the advice! 
Upgrading Mac ?'s
I know that Sonos requires the newer OS ( 10.6) to use their upgraded controller. I use that with my desktop. Sadly i would have to go from Leopard to Snow leopard then on to Lion to get caught up to the latest OS. My Mac mini is ok but it does se... 
Itunes ?
I ended up taking it to the Mac Authority for help. It was going to be hundreds of dollars for them to do the work. He said why don't you just copy files form old HD { format problems} to the new HD.{ properly formatted}. I did this, then created ...

One last question.... What is the advantage of "cloning?" It seems like it is easier to just find it on Finder and drag it over to the new disc. ( ie copying) 
Itunes ?
Thanks so much guys. This has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I did the same thing with my iphoto backup hard drive. ( creating only a alias, not a backup). I just finished putting all my iphoto pics onto an EHD and am in the process of u...

If i can't transfer a non mac formatted disc to another mac formatted disc with the superduper or clone software, where do i go from here? I can't reformat it without deleting it, correct? I guess i could transfer the internal hd from my mini to a... 
Itunes ?
Thanks,Al. It's starting to make sense. When you say "file management provisions that are provided in the Mac OS ", what are you referring to? Is there a easy way to do that? 
Itunes ?
OK, i renamed the itunes library, consolidated files. Then went to back up the main Drive, but it said unable to run because memory was full. I then took both drives downstairs to my imac and tried to make a backup using superduper. When i tried t...

Update,I hooked the hard drive with my music back up to do all the steps that Tobias mentioned. For some reason, i was able to play music on itunes now. It gives the alert that Start up disc is almost full.When i went to do a disc repair on my har...

Stop by for a coffee if you have time today. 
Itunes ?
B, I think you nailed it. When i double click the backup it showed all the music, but then i noticed it had switched and was showing what was on the original disc. I guess i created an alias and not a duplicate "backup" disc. Sigh... When i made t...
