I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

quit itunes and try it again. I've never had that happen.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Thanks for the suggestion, le nubian. Unfortunately, my iTunes is stubbornly doing the same thing. I checked to see if I had the latest version and I do. Guess it's just a glitch.

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

That is bizzare. I have no idea what's going on.

Just out of curiousity, could you go to iTunes / Preferences / Playback screen, and see what it says for the Smart Shuffle settings? Also, is it set to Shuffle on songs, albums, or groupings?

Smart Shuffle is set to Random and by songs.

I have Comcast and a digital cable box, Betsy -- my one TiVo has integrated just fine. The other TiVo is set up for just analog signal, so I don't know what I'll do if more channels go digital.

From what I understand Alpine has the best aftermarket radios with iPod interfaces.

On the Digital cable issues, the Tivo S3 will be out later this year and it's supposed to support cablecards, which would allow you to get the digital channels without the digital converter box.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Alpine's iPod interface was the best that I tried, but it was still sssllloooowwww.

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

How slow is slow?

I was in a car last night that had an audio-in jack in its stereo which seemed...well, better than nothing.

I'm annoyed that with all the strange and techie things they're doing with cars these days, they aren't simplifying hooking up your MP3 players. I don't want an in-car MP3 player. I want my music to follow me to the car, and out of it. Not to mention frequent updates, including podcasts.

Alpine is claiming that the new 2006 headunits are faster. I do not know if this is true.

If I only had a brain...

Yeah, ND, but I have upgraded hard drives on both TiVos and paid for a permanent license on one. I'm not really wanting to upgrade any time soon.
