It may also be a crazy issue with my iPod--I couldn't get it to work with the FM transmitter either, for some crazy reason. It plays music fine, and it charges with the firewire cord fine, so....who knows.

That's awesome, Daniel. I suppose the next step is to write software to control the temperature...

Ha! I saw it over in Bitches, but I'm glad you reposted so that I could squee properly over it here. That totally rocks. It's such a geek thing to do. They were just sitting around one day thinking, I wish I didn't have to leave the computer to cook. You can do everything else through USB. Hey, I bet you could...

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Hey, so my iTunes music folder is finally cleaned up, in that I've cleaned out a bunch of the duplicate files and whatnot. However my copy of iTunes has the little exclamation points against a bunch of the song names, since it can't find the now-deleted duplicate files.

How do I get iTunes to stop looking for those files, without going through and manually deleting each entry? Because that's a pain in the neck and hard on my hands.

The other option, I suppose, is "consolidating" my library but I'm worried about that because I don't like the way iTunes sorts things. It has a terrible time managing soundtracks and compilations, I've noticed.

Does anyone here know what the program or programs are that can allow you to play your records into the computer and transfer them into mpgs? And is there special hardware you need too?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

You would need a wire to connect your record player line out socket(assuming it has one) to your PC line in, or microphone socket. Then you need to use a sound recorder program to record each song, and then save the file to a .mp3... It's possible, it depends what sockets are on the record player.

If you want a free two track editor that is pretty good check out Audacity. It's available for Mac, WinXP, and Linux.
