I'm in the process of doing reencoding about 600 CD's right now after I had a hard drive quit.
there are several nice pieces of software out there that will let you recreate your iTunes library file and everything else with only the iPod in hand. (ipodlounge.com)
Further more, there is nothing that stops you from copying the actual files from the iPod to your computer via the simple "use as harddisk" mode... When the files are on your computer, drop them into iTunes and let it take care of placing the files correctly.
yeah, those iPods sure are difficult to find this season!
Try plugging the iPod into the usb 1.1 port on your computer.. I use that with iTunes for minor updates of playlists and if I have only added a few albums. Slow as, well usb1.1, but it works... as for Linux software to get songs to and from the iPod.. freshmeat has several options..
5. The device is compact...where the hell are you going to cram a digital I/O (TOSLink) port? Let Belkin deliver another external device for the iPod, I don't mind..
I don't even bother to play the cd's anymore, I just listen to the ripped version.
I had been looking at the iPod for years, but the deciding point came after i installed iTunes and ripped everything in an orderly manner. Neat, nice and easy to use. Smart playlists are a powerfull tool. That work on the iPod as well. The iPod is a USB1.1/2.0 and FireWire harddis, not a bad thing for a collection of tools like emacs, cygwin and putty:-)
In fact, Spanish has more past tenses than that. The past subjunctive comes to mind. ..and using subjuntivo combined with the different pasts in Spanish, might produce something that is not far from Choktaw's past tenses.
Spanish is quite a "rich" language, gramatically, and therefore a challenge to learn (and master)
Choctaw, a language with two past tenses - one for giving information which is definitely true, the other for passing on material taken without checking from someone else.' ..well so does Spanish, one for saying when something happened and one for saying how something happened.. then there is a few past tenses to order different occurences of events in the past as well..
another fine thing about Spanish is, that you can actually use it for something;-)
I asume that girls will be more impressed about Spanish than Choctaw.. But I am only guessing:-)
Oh, I do think that people rewatch TV series.. quite a lot in fact. Otherwise we wouldn't have re-runs. Furthermore I believe people buy the DVD box set of a series because they want to see the show again (Simpsons, Friends, Frasier, StarTrek, B5 NOT stuff like BigBrother, Survivor, Wheel of Fortune or other stictly syndicated stuff [I used the term wrong in my first reply, I think. Syndicated==the basic idea for a show is sold to another country])
I live in Denmark, so I don't expect to be able to get hold of a pcHDTV Card, let alone use it with the broadcast services we have available here. But, then again, we usually get TV Series and movies without commercials, so ripping them from TV with a normal TV card is easy. Usually the DVD version is available before the broadcast and not contain forced subtitles or dub Remember, that most non english stations dub everything.. Homer Simpsons in Spanish, French or German is NOT nice:-)
So, there is a marked for DVD versions in the original (or other) language outside "Region 1" and a bit of THAT revenue would be lost if shows were available online.
In a few years we will probably see iTunesMusicStore (or similar) extended to the service you seek.. minimum pay for a reduced quality version of a TV show..
Seriously, you never "upgrade" a computer (let alone a lot) without knowing what will happen..
At my company, they started upgrating on a limited number of machines, corrected a few problems and continued in small steps to upgrade the rest of the (12.000) machines during the next few weeks..
but, different strokes for different folks:-)

It's not just distribution, it's also "Milking the Cow" as much as posible.
Traditionally, movies went from theatres to rental shops in a couple of years, to the sales version a year after that, to the TV channels a couple of years after that.
Today, rentals and sales versions come out at the same time half a year after the theatre, with the TV still lacking suitablilly behind.
"Tomorrow", I think we will see that half a year shrink to a couple of weeks for major releases (LotR, etc), and the TV not even picking the "good sellers" up, as everybody have already seen them.
Shows live by being syndicated to different TV channels/companies around the globe. The same show will have different commercials (according to region , country, etc.) each time it is shown.
Hence, if downloads were available, commercials could be sold only once. A show could be sold only once and the real mass distribution of the show would not happen. The price for the one-time commercial on the downloadable version of the show would be very, very high (or they could just rotate/re-encode the commercials once in a while.. or use.. argh, RealMedia's streaming format)
But then again, let's face it; there are still more TV sets in the little homes, than computers.
Your idea is good, but I can't see it happen any time soon:-/
Slashdot Mirror
Microsoft would probably think otherwise :-)
..the strange thing is the "Sponsored Links" part of the link you just posted ..
.. a search result containing the "filetype" and "moviename" but a Google add for downloading the movie?
The Incredibles
Download this great movie along
with 1000's of other favourites aff

Personally I find that very strange
..and after hearing the same song for a couple of hours, battery life time stops being an issue, as the user goes insane.
.. but it's a really good song!

Sorry, you have no reason not to get an iPod
for the iPod the list goes:
..if iTunes is set to automatic open and sync.
;-)
1. plug in iPod
3. wait a bit
2. unplug iPod
Parent is right.. when all theese "iPod killers" start comming with an application like iTunes, Apple has to start being concerned..
one GB extra with a colour screen does not make for a "killer", sorry
I just comment stupidly on the teaser and what other people (who haven't RTFA either) says
RTFA ... The programmer has a fully documented version of the program, and even states the reasons for his tightly packed code.
e r
http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/software/molester/molest
But writing ultra-short code is fun even if it's silly. No other justification is necessary.
The reasons?
Who needs reasons when you got root?
from http://www.wired.com/news/digiwood/0,1412,66034,00 .html?tw=wn_tophead_2/
"These people are parasites leeching off the creativity of others," said Malcolm. "They generate ad revenues by way of pop-up ads (and) banner ads, and they solicit online donations."
so the advice to Tracker Operators is "Don't solicit donations!?"
2. The iPod gets 12 hours now. The iPod Photo gets 15. Whaddaya want? A micro-fusion-reactor?/
no, I want a gas-fueled microturbine!

5. The device is compact...where the hell are you going to cram a digital I/O (TOSLink) port?
Let Belkin deliver another external device for the iPod, I don't mind..
Can you accept a gas-fueled microturbine?/
http://www.telecomdirectnews.com/do.php/100/10938
well, there is a zero missing from the amount .. doesn't have anything to do with numberformats ;-)
.. I would have a tough time selecting that much music though ...
I would love to pay you 1300 dolars for about 13000 songs
the grandsons beat the shit out of the poor burglar..
One guy I know makes drum beats.. something that, by comination of speed and use of both hands on the keyboard makes a nice beat.
:-)
No way in hell to reproduce it, even if you hear the beat, as you would have no idea which keys he pushed.
No way of sneaking a peak, as the beat is "up beat", too fast and way too long.
No for everybody though
...and quick to include in a password guessing algorithm as well.
I don't even bother to play the cd's anymore, I just listen to the ripped version.

The iPod is a USB1.1/2.0 and FireWire harddis, not a bad thing for a collection of tools like emacs, cygwin and putty
.. that would stop people from complaining too much!
..as is the fact that you can now buy iPods from a prefered partner (HP) an just write "40GB firewire harddisk" on the requisition. :-)
In fact, Spanish has more past tenses than that. The past subjunctive comes to mind.
