Quicktime has an "export to iPod" option built-in, but it may be only the Pro version.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

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!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, it's not in my version of the player.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
it may be only the Pro version.
This is correct. However, converting them directly in iTunes doesn't require Pro.

I can't open the files in iTunes, which is why I ask.

FFMPEGX will convert almost anything to almost anything else -- it's got a fugly interface, but it is free.

Gotcha -- that's what I get for not including the "if it can be played in iTunes..." disclaimer. It may just be a missing codec issue; otherwise, I've heard good things about ffmpegX [link]
Also, iSquint [link] is dead reliable, if you just want the iPod conversion without any of the jillion other things in ffmpegX

Thanks!
I have ffmpegX here somewhere--I'm assuming I blocked that memory for a good reason. I think I was trying to rip DVDs, and in the end it let me do what I wanted--but it was a while before the end came round. Let me try iSquint.

Hey. New board.
I just set up my Cingular Treo 650 to work as a bluetooth modem for my laptop. It is tres cool! However, I don't seem to be getting the 134 kbps speeds EDGE is advertised at - got no more than 7-8 KBps downloads from my test server. Oh wells, it still is much better than no internet at all!
Good thing I have an unlimited data plan on my phone, now.

iSquint worked like a charm! Thanks.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I need to get a bluetooth mouse to go with my Mac Mini. I want to be able to right-click, and I want a scroll wheel or similar. Apple's wireless Mighty Mouse seems overpriced at $69. Any suggestions for less-expensive models that work well?
