A new “Back Up to Disc” menu lets you easily back up your entire iTunes library to CD or DVD.
This is pretty sweet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I REALLY don't need another ipod.
I would agree with you, but then I'd be hypocritical....

Are any of these new features (search, gapless playback, etc.) going to be implemented as software upgrades on existing iPods, or are they all only available on new hardware?

Jobs was saying that the downloadable games will work on the 5G iPods.

I would tend to think that gapless playback could be accomplished via a software-only change, but I only saw it mentioned in the context of the new hardware.

Okay, how come $800/$200 posted here looks ridiculous, but when it's in an email from Tivo with pictures and listed as $799/$199, suddenly I want one?

Because Tivo loves you very much and only wants what's best for you.

Note that the new Tivo only works with cable or broadcast TV. It lacks any way to take input from a satellite receiver. How lame.

Ooh. iTunes 7 has the gapless playback thing. It's rather slowly going through all 10,303 of my songs to "determine gapless playback information." (I'm doing this on my G4 Mac Mini, which is why it's slow....)
eta: It also has the option of automatically downloading album art for every song that has none. (Where it find the art and how obcure the songs can be, I know not.)
