I didn't know iTunes could do that!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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!

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?

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

Oh, I meant that was the only advantage to the click wheel, not to the 4th gen overall. I see now that my post was ambiguous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dear lord. I told TiVo, for the first time, to automatically record suggestions. Lots of Angel and Buffy, clairvoyant little beastie that it is, but -- Simon & Simon? I blame Magnum PI. Still, I will peek.
Has anyone been using TiVoToGo, especially with the demo DVD burning software?
I quite like it, except the software doesn't (yet) make it easy enough to clip and crop recordings. I may be in the wrong interface, but the DVGate and Click To DVD software that came with my Vaio make that functionality much easier.
