Works in Opera. That's not so common.

iTunes question -- in Windows when I select some songs in a playlist or library I can drag the MP3s to my desktop or another folder.

In OS X, can I do the same, to effectively (and easily) copy a playlist's worth of MP3s to a CD? Is there a simpler way?

Two ways. You can burn mp3 cds directly in iTunes from a playlist (edit your "Burn" preferences to mp3 cd) though that loses directory structure and stuff if you care about that. Or, you can do exactly the same thing: drag songs from iTunes to your desktop, they appear. I think it's a copy, not a move, though it might be worth double-checking.

I think I'll instruct him to do the former, then, since I'm not Mac-savvy enough to talk him through dragging the stuff to the right place.

Thanks!

does anybody know a good FREE web interface for IRC? I'm suspicious of just googling IRC web interface because I'm worried about picking up spyware, etc., from skeevy sites.

I just purchased this Remote Control. I'm pretty sure it's the most intelligent entity in the house now. I'll be programming it shortly.

There's the Chatzilla IRC extension for Firefox. [link]

Alas, I only have the evile IE on this laptop, which is one of our users', so I can't install anything permanent-like.

I just purchased this Remote Control.

Oooh. Let us know how intuitively and ergonomically friendly it is. The problem I've had with universal remotes is that it's impossible to remember where buttons are (or they have those ridiculous touch screens). Unlike, say, the TiVo remote, which is the friendliest remote ever.

Yeah, I'm eager to see how this works out. The design sorta mimics the Tivo remote and it's highly customizable, so hopefully it's a winner.

I'm tempted by the idea of a UR for everything but the TiVo, but it'd just be worse when I lose it.
