Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Has anyone used eXeem for peer to peer? What's it like?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Isn't that what the guy from suprnova was working on as a BT replacement?

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Yeah, that's the one. Trouble is, they've allegedly taken open source code and made a closed source program. Moreover, adding insult to injury, they're supposedly putting in advertising like Kazaa et al.

The guy from Suprnova is merely lending the Suprnova name to the product, for a fee.

Someone is already working on an adless version, eXeemLite: [link]

Maybe they should call it Wormhole eXeem.

I have a smart playlist question -- when you create one in iTunes, is it essentially converted to a normal playlist on your iPod which is updated every time you connect?

I'd read some people wanting them to stay smart on the iPod (and it would be nice), and I was wondering how far away from that they were.

I've been reading so many iPod wishes -- I do wonder how people think half of them would be implemented and still maintain the simplicity of the user interface.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

is it essentially converted to a normal playlist on your iPod which is updated every time you connect?

I've always assumed that, and nothing has happened to contradict my assumption.

Which is my way of saying, "I guess so."
