Has anyone used eXeem for peer to peer? What's it like?
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

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

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?

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.

I've always assumed that, and nothing has happened to contradict my assumption.
Which is my way of saying, "I guess so."

What's the difference between a smart playlist and a regular playlist?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
regular = "play this song, and this song, and this song..."
smart = "play alternative songs released in the 90s that I've rated 4 stars or better but haven't heard in the last month."

Smart playlists are cool. I do stuff like amych's example all the time so I can catch songs I like a lot but might have forgotten about.

Gotcha. I did something like that to load up FAQ Girl's iPod. I labeled songs I wanted on the iPod with a common Grouping label ("iPod". Clever, no?). Then created a playlist to include all songs with that grouping label. Then told the iPod to only download songs from that playlist. It made it very easy to negotiate which 35 gigs of music I wanted to include. It was like making a 7400 song mix tape! But without the sequencing anguish.
