The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The system requirments pages says Firefox needs "Mac OS X 10.2.x and later." [link]

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Yeah, I could barely get it to work in 10.3. I finally had to locate an older version, which works okay, but not as cleanly as it should.

Hey. New board.

Allyson: Go to [link]

On the right column, under "Quick Reference" is a bit that says "Users of Mac OS X 10.1 should download Camino 0.8.4 and the MRJplugin." with links.

Download Camino 0.8.4 - it, too, will be a disk image, but this version of camino should actually run on 10.1. Once the disk image opens, drag the big Camino icon to your Applications folder, and you should be able to run it from there. Camino, btw, is basically the same thing as Firefox, only made for Macs exclusively.

You can also install the MRJPlugin from the link, which I think will enable Java.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

What I'd like is an MP3 player program for Windows that would play all the files in my iTunes folder, and also update the playcount (and hopefully also be able to use the iTunes playlists and smartplaylists.) Is there such an animalprogram?

While I'm at it, I'd like a pony and world peace.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Doesn't iTunes keeps a playcount?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I would like to know, in addition to why Theo gets a pony and I don't, if anyone has any experience with Sony flat panel monitors, especially this one.

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

Yes.

So you're saying you want something that's not iTunes to do what iTunes does?

I'm confused.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I just want to say thanks to the heavens for my iPod FM transmitter. It got K-Bug and I through the drive to and from Phoenix with much music and no static. Was quite pleased.

Doing the iPod happy dance.

tommy -- yes, exactly. Well, the thing I don't want it to do is to selfishly grab a whole bunch of memory while it plays, which is what iTunes is doing.

I just really like the playcount stats. It makes me sad that I can't somehow combine the playcounts on my home iTunes and work iTunes to make a super-playcount.

Ok, that makes sense.

Me too. I get around the problem by only using my iPod to play music at work.

Anyway, there must be some sort of solution. The playcount info is kept in an xml file, so it'd be fairly straightforward to write a program to add recently played playcount stuff from one playlist to another. (That is, if you're using iTunes at both locations.)

I wonder if you could write a script that would copy your playcount stuff from a web or ftp server each time you start iTunes. My guess is that there would be... problems with this approach.

When I get a second, I'll google and check the iTunes script site....
