Its seems when you drag and drop a file from a CD using the finder - it uses PC byte ordering!!!!

It uses 'little endian' format - rather than the normal macintosh 'big endian' format....

This was really unexpected...
Thats why it sounds like noise.

Very very wierd why apple chose to do this. I might submit a bug report to apple.
