When you rip songs in iTunes, there's an option that lets you pick the start time and the end time of a particular track.
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You people are very fancy, and I thank you.

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

Oh, I had forgotten about that. But for some reason I prefer to leave the song the way it was and just set iTunes to not play part of it. I can't really say that one method is better than the other.
If you only rip the part you want, the file size will be smaller, except if you use VBR I suspect the file sizes would be close to the same for either method.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I didn't know iTunes could do that!

But on iTunes, you can tell it to start and/or end a song at points other than the beginning and end.
And the iPod you'll eventually get will respect this setting as well.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. The inevitability.
I should note that my ancient 6 gig Creative Labs Nomad is on its last, err, pegs. The damage has progressed beyond its merely superficial housing breaking away and the end cannot be far off now. It has served me faithfully for many years.
I've been working the SO, so we'll see if a pod turns up in the mid to near-term future.

Hehe, I helped a friend through the dance of iPod ownership yesterday. He IMed me saying "I shouldn't stop by the mall because I'm feeling itchy for an iPod.". I told him that was precisely why he SHOULD stop by the mall.
Four hours later he stopped to visit me with a shiny 40GB iPod photo. (On sale!)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What is the difference between the click wheel iPod and the others? Which is newer?

The click wheel iPods are the newer ones. They lack the row of four buttons above the wheel. A more elegant design is, I think, the only advantage (eta: to the rearranged buttons) (plus on the iPod Mini they save space where space is tight).

Hey. New board.

Not true. They have about 50% more battery life than the third-gens.
