this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm using OS 10.5.5 right now.

I'm thisclose to getting a MacBook Pro (partly b/c if you buy it w/an education discount -- my mom works at a high school -- you get a free iPod Touch), but the only thing holding me back is not wanting to upgrade most of the software I use for my freelance jobs (Quark XPress, Photoshop CS). The versions are *just* old enough that they don't play well with Leopard (we've had problems at work with Leopard and older software versions), and I just don't want to deal with it right now.

I want one of the new MacBook Pros in the worst way! I'd really like to have the faster speed and greater memory. (I am SOOOO Tim Taylor-- I grunt and everything.) I think I'll treat myself if I sell a book.

Okay, it's "muxing" whatever that is.

Okay, I goobered, which was to be expected. It copied it as a movie to iTunes when all I wanted were the songs. Huh. What did I do wrong?

hmm. I just opened Handbrake and it doesn't look like there is an option to just extract the audio.

Well, I've got an MP3-- but it downloaded the whole thing in one chunk instead of as separate tracks. Hm...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I need a cheapish laptop soon, and I'm looking at a $600 Dell 1545 T4200 at Costco. [link] Is this a bad buy? It's got a 15 in. screen, 4gb RAM, 500gb 5400 rpm hard drive, and 4-cell battery. Comes with Vista and Works-- I figure Windows 7 will just drive up the price and I have access to Word. Does anyone know any better laptops for the price?

If I have a DVD of a concert, is there any way I can download/extract the audio so I can load it as an iTunes playlist?
It's a realtime thing, not an extract thing, but have you tried Audio Hijack: [link]

If you want longer than 10 minutes at a time, you need to pay for the full version (I think it's still like that). But if it's a concert DVD, you can hijack each song. It's a bit more pain in the butt, but, it's an option.

Barb,

If you have an mp3, I would recommend you now go to garageband and break it up.

“Not dead yet!”

Okay, how do I do that? (And man, do I feel like an idjit. This stuff just does not come naturally to me.)
