All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

House of Cads!

Alternative show title for The Bachelorette?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also there were some MP3s that didn't import into iTunes.

What was different about them? AFAIK all mp3s should be importable into iTunes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is the iTunes default format the same as other mp3s?

It's the stuff that you buy from their store that's proprietary.

MMJB is Musicmatch Jukebox.

Really? Were they ripped from a protected CD or anything? I've never encountered that (though there were some MP3s that wouldn't play on my Clie). What was their source?

They might have been MP3s downloaded from Napster. It wa only 3 or 5.

If I only had a brain...

If I wore this hat I would bump into things. A lot.

Yes. It's the stuff that you buy from their store that's proprietary.

At least on the Mac, iTunes (when first installed) defaults to ripping songs in AAC format, but that's easily changed to mp3.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cashmere? I still haven't received the email.

I sent it to the profile addy. Maybe it's in your spam folder. Check and let me know. I can send another one.

I love that I'm learning how to say things like "Look! it's on a sale." or, "It's a bargain!" in Spanish.

¡Mira! Está de rebaja! and ¡Es una ganga! If you wanted to know.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Kat and ita, thank you very much. I may have to make a stop before heading home tonight. It's probably wishful thinking to hope that I can find a good bargain on an iPod in a physical store, correct?

Yeah, Apple seems to have tight control over what stores can charge for their stuff. You might be able to find a small discount by buying from a non-Apple online store.
