Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I did end up with doubled songs. I should have just started out with synching -- manual update also means that sometimes when I create a playlist and copy it over, it copies the song over (I'm thinking this is if I've changed a rating on the song on the iPod, or something).
My goal is to delete everything on the PC, copy it all over from the iPod, and then set up synching. But I'm wondering what this may do with the purchases music on the iPod -- will it play properly on a wiped iTunes?
I'm hoping.
Well, the problem is, I used to have it synching, but then I went and copied some songs from other peoples' computers onto the iPod. And it told me if I went back to synching it would clear everything off the iPod, and I wouldn't have those songs anymore. And I thought if I just did playlist synching it would work, but NOOOOO. All the songs I just got from my BIL and hadn't yet listened to? GONE. Fuckers.
So I'm trying to rip some cds I just got, and for some reason my ripping software can't access any of the online databases. I tried dbPowerAmp and iTunes, which use different databases, and neither of them work. I checked my firewall, and my internet connection is definitely working.
I'm at a loss. I really don't want to type in all the information about each song on these albums. What do I do?

When you say you checked your firewall, did you make sure that those programs were in the allow (or exception) list?
Why doesn't my sassy new printer come with a USB cable? Why was I too dense to check the bloody box when I was still in the store? Now I canna play until tommorrow. Seriously, it comes with ink and freaking paper samples, but not a nessecary componant? Greedy HP!
Apparently that's typical for printers. No USB cables.
Huh. I never woulda thunk it. It's included in the contents list in the instructions, but if you look in little print on the box, it says not included.

Well you obviously got Schrodinger's USB cable.
My browser font got suddenly small and I don't know why. Now some pull down menus are too small to read and it makes me sad.
