Do I get the tunes off my iPod back on to my hard drive? Should I just spend the $20 for a program?

The ipod was designed to prevent this. Some crap about preventing piracy, or something like that. Luckily, there are about a million free programs designed to get around these little problems, here's a few: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/ http://www.softaward.com/8320.html http://www.downloadjunction.com/product/software/1981/index.html http://www.mymusictools.com/download/ipod-backup/ I've used a variety of these (I just download one when I need it), and they've all been pretty good.

Never underestimate the cluelessness of some electronics designers... I had a problem with a cell phone battery a couple of years ago... It died, but the damn phone could not operate without a working battery in it even if it was plugged into a car or wall outlet... These are also the designers who have seen fit to allow the phone to be able to use more power while in talk mode than can be replenished by the car charger, thus creating a maximum talk time on the phone even when it is plugged in... Yeah, it takes quite awhile to run down a battery this way, but if you have unlimited mobile-to-mobile minutes, two cars that are being driven across country, and you're using the phones with headsets to chat between drivers, it definitely can happen... >> Do youself a favor and toss the iPod in the toilet. > >He'll have to do that soon enough once the battery quits being able to be >recharged... Google it, there is a company out there that is selling IPOD battery replacement kits, or for a few dollars more you can send them the IPOD and they will install the battery and send it back >> Do youself a favor and toss the iPod in the toilet. > >He'll have to do that soon enough once the battery quits being able to be >recharged... Have they fixed that with the new ones? I was told that to get it replaced costs $100-150 + $50 to open it, and x$ for shipping to/from Apple. Someone has to be coming along with a way to bypass Apple and DIY. I've had mine for a couple of years, and I always run it to complete discharge.

Mine seems to be still running strong, but a few people here at work have either sent theirs off for repair, or gone the DIY route.

You'll have to ask him how accurate his statements actually are. I ask him all the time to cite any of the lies he accuses me of. He hasn't had any luck.

You wouldn't happen to be the reincarnated Irish comedian Noel V. Ginnity? Humour like that should be against the law! b > > I thought iMusic allowed you to do that.

You'll have the zealots down on Eire next. In fact I do have a wee touch of Irish blood, but, sadly, no sense of humour.

You can use your ipod to port music if you zip it but as music it can't be transferred back to your computer. BTW. He didn't win but he played well. No innocent bystanders were injured. JF > BTW.

I realize your humiliation is pretty much continual at this point, but I didn't think you were low enough to drag your family in for deflection and obfuscation. Especially since you've stated that you'd rather die than protect them. Leave them out of it. Get those Navy numbers yet? Need me to re-post the question? > > BTW. He didn't win but he played well.

Because you try to turn every thread I join into your personal pissing contest. That's obsessive. I was trying to help out with the iPod. My son knows a bunch about iPods. I made a guess at an answer that might help but explained that I'd check with Matt when he got home, and even tossed in a little play on words. At least someone got it. JF >> Because I question the validity of your claims? >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Because you try to turn every thread I join into your personal pissing > contest. That's obsessive. You'll have to take a vote on that one. You're the one that started it with the completely unnecessary golf club comment. You were wrong about the iPod to begin with, and I skipped commenting on it out of courtesy, since you were trying to help. Then, after not getting a response from your -first- trolling golf club reference, you made a second, and I responded. Then you deluded as to how -I- made this part of "my personal pissing contest". Just further confirmation that Canadians can do no wrong, and it's -always- the Americans' fault. > I was trying to help out with the iPod. My son knows a bunch about > iPods.

John, I'll explain this again, as I have in the past. I don't -owe- you any benefit of the doubt. You lie about me, get caught cold, refuse to apologize. You completely invent things that you say I've said and done. You've specifically questioned my honor and courage continually. You trashed our friendship over this gun thing, which -you- have the audacity to tell me that -I'm- obsessed with. (you're in your 5th year and sinking fast) You've destroyed your own credibility here. You're on the permanent enemy list, John, with, I suppose, MJB, Salty, Kramer, and depending on her BAL, Sheryl.

(never ever came to mind before to ask this in a scuba newsgroup).

Personally, my solution for all of these issues is to avoid them in the first place. I have half a dozen portable devices for playing MP3 files. Most of them use a SD card. A 1 gig SD card holds a lot of music which can be moved back and forth the same way you move any other file from one medium to another. The smallest one is about two inches, by one inch, by a half inch, includes an FM radio and cost me considerably less than a comparable IPOD.

I even got a Car stereo that accepts SD cards and USB memory sticks for my wife's car (http://tinyurl.com/zkmlm). Then, I got her the sirius unit that goes with her headunit. Wait, why didn't I get all that cool crap for myself? > I even got a Car stereo that accepts SD cards and USB memory sticks for my > wife's car (http://tinyurl.com/zkmlm). Then, I got > her the sirius unit that goes with her headunit. Wait, why didn't I get > all that cool crap for myself? I'm not that attached to my music. In the car, the radio usually satisfies my need for background sound. I did, however, get one of those phono plug to cassette devices that does a nice job of playing anything I want through my car stereo. My PDA is a Garmin M5. It's a mapping GPS as well as a PDA, MP3 player and, thanks to a nifty program called DVD to Pocket PC, a usable movie player even if the screen is a bit small for the purpose. About the only time I hook it up to the car stereo is when I'm on long trips. Lee All agreed, but I just happened to own the Sony MD-walkman, especially as back then, it was the only device small enough to hide under clothing and still record a lot of quality audio (5hrs) without even any clicks at the end of a tape or so. No, not for ripping music from concerts (wich must be pretty poor quality actually) but to record interviews with suspects without clearly having any recording devices. The trick was to move the audio to PC by USB-cable instead of phone-out-jack to mic-in-jack. The latter loses a lot of quality, wich is pretty important in court!

Trust me, I know. I'm the "IT guy" at a PD. I've got some computers that I can transfer by audio cable and some that I can't. A quick test will tell me which one a specific computer is. I will admit that there is some loss anytime you transfer this way, but many sound cards lose so little that most people wouldn't be able to tell which was the original and which was a reproduction without specialized equipment (or *especially* sensitive ears). >> All agreed, but I just happened to own the Sony MD-walkman, especially as >> back then, it was the only device small enough to hide under clothing and [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > and which was a reproduction > without specialized equipment (or *especially* sensitive ears). Well worth a try with prices for soundcards as low as they are today. Then again, would have bet my Creative LAbs Soundblaster pro something should be in the upper legue. Frank > >> All agreed, but I just happened to own the Sony MD-walkman, especially as > >> back then, it was the only device small enough to hide under clothing and [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > Frank Soundblaster pro is Creative's "value" line. I would read that as "cheap". It's funny actually. I almost exclusively use onboard audio in the computers I build. Some of them are really good and others not so much. The really interesting thing is that the same audio chipset can be wonderful on one board and not worth having on another. I guess it's the implementation. I've heard good things about the Turtle Beach (Turtle Bay?) sound cards, but I've never actually used one. They're a bit pricier than the Soundblasters, but the reviews are pretty good. All of them that have any meaningful number of reviews on NewEgg get 4 of 5 eggs. That's not too bad. If you want a decent Creative card, you'll have to shell out around $75. Based on reviews, I'd say this might be a good option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102004 > > I even got a Car stereo that accepts SD cards and USB memory sticks for my > > wife's car (http://tinyurl.com/zkmlm).
