sorry to hear that, dave. obviously, i'm kinda into tech stuff, so when i hear other people having difficulties, it bumms me out cause i know it can
turn them off to the whole thing. (btw, i thought best buys sold macs now.)
when the topic comes up, i usually recommend macs 90% of the time. for some people, because of their situation (or even their personality), it's just
not a good idea. but these days, the compatibility between macs and pcs is almost completly seemless and people are SO fed up with viruses and what
not, thet they're willing to try something new. and it's starting to show. between that and the ipod halo effect, apple's market share has been
increasing for some time now. recent reports put them between 5%-6%, where they were at 2.5-3% just a couple of years ago.
this one usually amazes PC users: i've been using macs since the mid-80s and i've been using them online (where you're most susceptible to attack)
since early 90s...and i've NEVER had a virus, adware, spyware, anything on my machines. |
The BB I was at had NO Macs. In fact, I don't really see them anywhere but at the Mac stores these days...

BD. Do you think that whent he Iphone comes out that MAC will reduce the price of Ipods this summer? Some times company's when releasing new products
that are superior to what is out now will try and make them more attractive to consumers. If not do you thinkt hey are coming out with a newer IPOD in
the near future becasue that should surely move the price down a little ont he 30g ipod.

maybe, but it's hard to say. my thinking is that if they were to, it would be for a very brief period to clear out old inventory. it's more
likely that they would bump the specs and keep the same price point.
it's also been rumored that the next ipod revision will be a wild departure from what they have now. the argument is that the current ipod ISN'T a
"video ipod," it's an "ipod with video", and while the iphone is much more of a video ipod, it's also a phone and a communicator (or whatever), so the
logic is that there'll soon be a whole new ipod more in line with what the phone looks like, but with JUST ipod features.
of course, apple has the phone coming in june and Mac OSX 10.5 coming in the early fall, so they're resources are already stretched very thin - hard
to say when they'd pull off another whole new product.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

re-ripping. I took your advice.
1690 3.4 days 4.50 GB now. I am tired of this.
I found out that SAMS CLUB has the 30 G for $234. and includes a base along with earphones and usb.
Best buy will match it and they even called to varify like i WAS LYING. Anyeway they will match it so that means I may use the BEST BUY CARD and take
the 12months sac instead of buying at SAMS CLUB. there I would have to use my regualar and I do not want to add another interest purchase to my
charges. I got to many of them already.
the dude at work still wants to sell me his and I may take it to save money but I am worried if anything goes wrong I'm stuck.

I want ot get the Album covers for the cd's I am ripping like Windows media had. When I go to the store like you said it is asking my for my credit
card. Do you pay for the artwork? If so that is fucked up.
Or is it just a formality for itunes to get this info? I doubt I will buy stuff from them but I realy want this arwork.

you have to have an itunes account (which includes supplying a cc #) to download the artwork, but no, you don't have to pay for it.
once you have an account, it makes shoppign the itunes store super easy.

I noticed that the songs blend into one another. How do I change it to normal? It's not bad with normal cd's, but I noticed it really fucking sucks
with live music.

go into the itunes preferences again, and there's a tab for 'playback'. check to see if the 'crossfade' playback' option is selected. i think that
sets how much fade in/out there is on the songs. you can turn it off be unchecking the box.
Regarging gapless playback, this is from the itunes help file...
Some CDs, such as live concert albums and classical albums, are meant to be played straight through, with no fading between the songs (or tracks). If
you turn on Crossfade Playback, you can have iTunes turn it off when you play these albums.
To override Crossfade Playback for specific songs:
In iTunes, select a song and choose File > Get Info.
Click Options.
Select "Part of a gapless album."
Tip: You can select all the songs at once (press Command as you select them), choose File > Get Info, and then choose Yes from the Gapless Album
pop-up menu.
