There is no public API for iPods.
While you are rather correct in your iPod analysis, the rest of us are debating Palm PRE's disabled syncing with iTunes. Feel free to join in at any time:
if you know a description of the public unencumbered API for managing the music database on an iPod, post it's URL, and I will apologize.
It's already been mentioned that Nokia phones sync their calendars (through iSync) and iTunes music (through the public and unencrypted xml files) from mobile phone to your PC/Mac.
Sorry to puncture your balloon so easily. Oh, you asked for "unencumbered API" - sorry, that's not how the world works. But maybe the HURD people will release a music player and desktop app once the kernel is out...
Both the big guys (Nokia) and the small fish (Salling et.al.) are allowed to play nice with iTunes. Palm chose to pretend to be something they weren't, through unpublished APIs, instead of putting their money towards getting a stable, supported solution for their customers. Is it that hard to pick up the phone and CALL Apple? Even I can find Steve Jobs' email address. He might be out, but I betcha someone is answering his phone and checking his inbox.
The Court of Appeals is replacing the newly appointed appelate court judge in the Pirate Bay-case. The issue of whether the local court Tingsrätten had a inappropriate bias will now be decided by three judges from a different department.
- It can be noted that none of these three are, or have been, members of any of the groups that are relevant in this case, the Court of Appeals write in a press release.
After learning that the newly appointed Court of Appeals judge in the Pirate Bay case has been a member of the same Intellectual property industry group as the local judge accused of bias, the president of the Court of Appeals was asked yesterday to try whether another department should rule on the issue of bias.
Today the decision was made: The appointed "Hovrättsrådet" Ulrika Ihrfelt, who works in the department specialized in cases on copyright/creators' rights and intangible assets, is not allowed to judge whether the local court had inappropriate bias when judging the case -"varit jävig".
Instead, the issue of bias will be moved to another department of the Appelate Court and be tried by the manager of that department, Anders Eka, and judges Christina Jacobsson and Ulrika Beergrehn.
"The reasons for this is partly that the issue of bias ought to be tried by other judges than those who could be asked to later judge in the actual case, and partly in consideration of the objection to the bias, it has been deemed appropriate that the issue of bias is decided by another department not specialized in copyright", the court writes in the press release.
Then issue will be decided with priority. The president of the Court of Appeals, Fredrik Wersäll, is counting on the decision coming "within some weeks at most", according to the news agency TT.
The Court of Appeals will not start handling the Pirate bay-case until the issue of bias has been decided. If Norström is considered biased the case can be sent back to the local court and the verdict will be torn up.
The defense lawyers of several of the convicted pirates claim that Norström had a bias, i.e through being a member of several industry groups connected to copyright. The four were sentenced to one year in prison and damages of 30 million SEK (ca $4 million).

Note that in Swedish, having had bias is almost the same as having been a dickhead. "varit jävig" vs. "varit jävlig".
There is something you are not telling us. Or perhaps you made the whole post up?
I was able to get all my tunes off the HD but wasnt able to get them all loaded back onto the iPod from the fresh XP installation on the same LT.
It is just files. Your next iTunes installation would have just picked them up - drm or no drm. And if they're in iTunes, they will be in your iPod once you sync. Perhaps your hard drive rescue didn't go as well as you thought?
as I changed my password from time to time and cant remember which PW I used when I purchased certain tracks.
That is not how it works. It doesn't matter what password you used to buy the tune. You buy them for an iTunes account, and the first time you play them on any computer, iTunes asks for that account's current password. Authorize for one drm:ed song, you authorize for all of them.
You can authorize up to five computers, so even if you needed to reauthorize after reinstalling, that would not have been a problem.
Also, internet lore has it that Apple support can disable old, defunct computers and give you back another authorization right - and even let you download stuff you already bought.
So, unless you somehow are confusing Windows Media Player with iTunes - maybe you bought drm:ed music for one and then switched to the other and expecting things to work - it seems your whole post is made up by someone who wants to slam iTunes Music Store but doesnt really know how it works.
Care to clarify?

I tried to donate money to the Mozilla Foundation through a program at work. The Mozilla Foundation were asked to fill in a form to release the money from the handling agency (United Way), who claimed it was needed for "Patriot Act compliance"). But United Way couldn't get any reponse from the Mozilla guys, and I even emailed donations@mozilla.org myself -twice- to no avail.
Not saying I would have enabled another run in the NYT with my measly contribution, but I thought every dollar would count. Apparently not so - my donations never reached them.
As you are one of the most well-known security-focused-groups today, you must surely attract a lot of young people who would want nothing more than to follow in your footsteps. Every kid nowaday wants their umpteen minutes of fame and TV air time.
What are your thoughts on the reponsibilities you have as frontal figures for the "hacking community"? (For some non-disclosed definition of "hacker") Do you feel such a responsibility to steer the young and naive hacker-wannabies into white-hat territory? - or are you more into "give them the knowledge, let them choose side for themselves"?
If you feel an obligation to inspire kids towards non-illegal, non-confrontational, non-disruptive hacking; how do you take on such a task? Your choice of a name that surely goes well within script-kiddie-hacker territory indicates to me either a wish to attract such a following, or perhaps it is just an indication of your history, coming from that background.
Enough rambling, I guess my question more or less boils down to "How do you install a sense of decency in your fan groups?"
By the way, thank you for all your good security work. It seems you appear in my bugtraq and ntbugtraq e-mail folder every other time I look... I hope I don't come across as insulting or demeaning in my question, I am seriously interested in your answer.
I'm a Swede, not a Norwegian, so don't sue me if I miss out on something.
Norwegian has patent for net commerce - sits on a potential gold mine
Kristiansand-based man filed a patent on ordering concepts used in web stores today in 1993.
Oslo (28.09.99) - The small Kristiansand-company Bellboy filed a patent application in 1993 covering Internet-commerce in Norway and Europe, according to the news service digi.no. Now the company are asking fees from everyone selling goods or services over the internet or ordinary telephone lines. The small norwegian company Bellboy International are sitting on a patent on Internet commerce that makes it possible for them to ask for fees from all internet stores in Europe - and perhaps the US - until the year 2013. With the help of lawyers the company is now going to demand formal contracts and money from the whole internet sector.
Rolf Wilhelmsen has shot the golden bird. Decmeber 17th 1999 he applied for a patent on a method to conduct real-time lookup and ordering over IT-networks or telephone systems. At the same time, the world wide web and the Mosaic client were introduced.
But due to the incredibly slow patent application process Bellboy couldn't start demanding license fees from everyone who has launched telephony- or internet ordering systems -such as the international airfare booking system Amadeus, norwegian stores such as Rimi, Onlineclub or Filmweb - until now in 1999. The Bellboy patent differs from normal patents in that it describes only a method, and not any technical principles.
- Our patent has been a closely kept secret, now we are going to publicize it. Most people are quite shocked when they realize what we have. You have to be pretty smart(?) if your are going to do to internet commerce and not fall under our patent, Wilhelmsen says to digi.no.
OK, thats about half of it. I have some real work I have to do now...
