Where does iTunes store its playlists?

I did a keyword search for the titles, and nothing's coming up.

For MMJB, I'd make copies of the playlists with relative paths and put them in the root of the music directory I'd shared to TiVo so I could play them on my TV. But I can't find them for iTunes.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Heh, the title alone drew my attention:

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I don't know that I'd pay $2 an episode. That's DVD-level money, and with no extras. I'd want them to cut the price for older stuff (although I'm not really up to paying it for the new stuff, either, but I might be if I had money)

They don't like your taste in music?

That may explain why it let me upload Billie Holiday but denied Black Flag...

You know, once in several years of owning two TiVos plus a VCR that can be set up to record separately, I've had a four-way legitimate cross-scheduling problem. Once.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yes, but with even 3 people in the household, you could, mathematically, max out that with a similar problem!

This is, of course, assuming that none of the programs they want to watch in a slot are the same. Which is not a negligible assumption.

No, a 11 tuner PVR is not really practical, but you have to just appreciate the sheer overdoingness of it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Because it goes to 11!
