Oh, weird. Hooked up my iPod prior to trying senuti, and iTunes actually said "you have purchased music on your ipod that's not on itunes, do you want to move it to itunes?" and DID IT! Yay. I may have had other stuff that wasn't backed up, but those were the things I really wanted or knew about...

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!
iTunes actually said "you have purchased music on your ipod that's not on itunes, do you want to move it to itunes?"
Yeah, that's a new feature.
I'll try out Senuti--have you used it, Daniel?
I have. It worked well for me, to get all of my nephew's old music from the iPod he gave me into my own iTunes.

very cool
So, Handbrake does seem pretty straightforward to use. But 25 minutes to encode an 8 minute video? Yowch. The tutorial on iPodLounge did warn that it would probably take a very very long time, but wowza. It's going to take all day to encode Beetlejuice, drat it.
Yeah, video encoding in general is really slow.
Well bother. iTunes will play the video I encoded, no problem. But it informs me that the video will not play on the iPod, and thus has not been imported to it. Anyone have any helpful suggestions?
All I know is that the iPod requires video at a specific resolution to play. (Don't know off-hand what that resolution is.)
mr. flea has been having weekly free hours-long phone calls to France using Skype. He loves it, no hassles.
Anyone use Skype? Thoughts?
I've never tried it, but my 78 year old mom uses it all the time to talk to relatives overseas.
Also, they use my font!
