Update 03/20/2012: I now have 13,293 tracks (60GB) in my iTunes library and still utilize all of the tips mentioned here.

Please End This Song

Posted and filed under music, Software.

I love Please Take Me Home from blink-182‘s “Take Off Your Pants and Jacket“. It’s a great song with one glaring problem: For some ridiculous reason they decided to pull a Nirvana on it and extend the track length of this 3:03 song to 6:06. So when I am listening to my iPod in shuffle… Read more »

iPod Shield

Posted and filed under music, technology.

If you got a black 60gb video iPod for Christmas — like I did — then you need to get one of Agent18‘s video-shields. I’ve tried quite a few iPod cases in the last two or three years and this one is the best yet. It certainly has the best screen protection. You kind of… Read more »

Pass the Baton …

Posted and filed under music.

Gee, I haven’t been involved in a meme in quite some time, and I’m currently nursing a wicked sinus infection and suffering from post-Sith syndrome, but I’ll play along.

If you’ve been suffering with a pathetic iTrip or getting by with the barely acceptable Belkin TuneCast II, then you will love the AirPlay FM transmitter for iPod from XtremeMac. I don’t know how they did it, but it packs a much more powerful transmitter into a device about a fifth the size of the… Read more »

Multiple iPods

Posted and filed under technology.

Aaarrghh. I have just got to get the new one. My iPod quickly became my favorite toy. My girlfriend gave me a 20gb one for Christmas. I upgraded to the 40gb in January, and I listen to it daily. iTunes is even a damn good WinAMP and / or MusicMatch replacement, and Apple did an… Read more »

iPod and New Computer

If you’re sitting there with a new computer and scratching your head trying to figure out how to get all your music from your iPod and iTunes library on your old computer, scratch no longer! This is how you do it. Another alternative is the Lifehacker article Copy Music from Your iPhone or iPod to… Read more »

iTrip for iTunes (finally!)

Posted and filed under music.

Griffin Technology has finally released an update for their iTrip transmitter that works with iTunes. Until now you had to use MusicMatch to get an iTrip to work, and it was a pain because — although it is a great player — MusicMatch bites it when it comes to synching your iPod.
