    Oh yeah. And so do those small Christmas Trees that you get and coffee warmers. Very convenient.
  2. I'll ask my own question here, because I'm absolutely stumped.

    When using iTunes 7.5, how would you stop 'Determining Gapless Playback'? As most of the bootlegs here are gapless (without using the Crossfading options) there's really no point for iTunes to ask. It's just an added inconvenience to an already slow and buggy program. Hopefully someone here knows more about it than I do. Can the iPod classic (the new fancy ones) use iTunes 6 or iTunes 7.2 unofficially - because even though it's uglier I'd prefer something to be working rather than having fancy features and not getting the basics right!

    I actually have this thought. Does Apple make crappy, slow and buggy software for Windows and make it look better on a Mac or their programmers just don't like alternative operating systems (apparently they don't like Linux, because NONE of their software is supported on it - so much if I wanted to change over.

    Actually you're correct here. Apple software DOES run better on a mac.

    You'd certainly hope.
  5. I'd agree with Nate. iTunes and all the other iLife stuff runs flawlessly on my Mac. Slow, occasionally, but that's more to do with my processor speed than anything else
  6. the iPod is being picked up tomorrow. Sad day

    If they can get it turned round as quick as they send stuff from the store you'll have it Monday which won't be too bad.

    What's your processor speed? About 2.0GHz?
  11. I fixed the 'Determining Gapless Playback' thing. According to the Apple document:

    What is Gapless Playback?

    Gapless playback means that there is no pause in playback between the end of one audio file and the beginning of the next audio file. This allows for playback of content with no gaps the way it was meant to be heard. Some examples of gapless albums include:

    "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd
    "Abbey Road" by The Beatles
    Many live and classical albums
    Gapless Playback in iTunes

    Gapless playback is always on in iTunes 7 or later unless the Crossfade feature is turned on. If Crossfade is on, only audio files that have the "Part of a gapless album" option checked and are capable of being played gaplessly will play with no gaps

    Crossfade playback is in the Playback section of iTunes preferences.


    And if I just let it run, like I did, it doesn't do it again. Maybe iTunes might be usable.
  12. Now that we're on iTunes...when I'm listening to music on the computer using iTunes (don't judge me for this!), how do I make it play unchecked songs as well?! With shuffle turned on, it only plays checked songs.
