Yeah, that's typically one of the signs of a TV tube about to give up the ghost.

So I'm trying to import an album I ripped off a CD I own into iTunes' library. And... it won't. Just sits there. I don't get an error message or anything: it just doesn't import.

It's .mp3 files, nothing complicated. Anyone got any advice?

Um, have you tried manually copying the MP3 files into the Music folder, and importing them as individual files?

I know Emily ran into an album with some kind of fascist copy protection scheme that wouldn't import into her iTunes. I took it home for her, imported it as MP3s into Real Player, and copied them out for her so she could manage them.

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

Have you tried ripping again, using iTunes?

Tommyrot, that sounds like the easiest way to do it. What a pain, though.

Art Crawl!!!

Went to our lousy little Best Buy - depressing.

Would it save my tv a bit if I hooked up the cable and vcr to the 13" screen which I still have. (I thought I'd put it out in the garbage.) That way I could save the other one for the dvd player. (The vcr in the TV-VCR combo totally interferes with any dvd enjoyment.)

HELP!

I'm trying to set up my wireless network. I've got the router working, but I can't seem to connect to it via my laptop. It's automatically going to another wireless router, and I can't choose mine. What should I be trying? What do I need to tell you so you can help me?

Nebbermind. I'm giving up for tonight. I'll play with it more tomorrow.
