I had not seen that! It's so cute! And it totally matches our kitchen.
Which is a stupid reason to want one but I suppose no more stupid than, "if I were rich, I would spend a grand on a fancy screen for my recipes."

Rumor is that it will cost close to $1000, so I have a hard time believing it's going to be anything other than a niche luxury device like the Macbook Air.
I can see having a charging dock that sits it up. A wireless keyboard and mouse and you have something you can use for occasional traditional computing and tote it around the house for other stuff with less bulk than a laptop. I dunno.

Our wings are not tired.
Okay, I have doled out my old personal laptops and finally purchased a new one (arrives tomorrow). I also bought a replacement iPod (160 gig). I have a ton of music on a portable hard drive.
Here's where I need your help. iTunes has always pissed me off because no matter what tricks and tips I learned from the web and you guys, when I am playing an album, the songs aren't in the right order. It's bad enough for regular music albums, but impossible when it's a musical because, duh, the song order in a musical is pretty important.
So I've got about 2/3 of my 500 or so cds already sitting on the portable drive, and I was hoping to be able to salvage that when I organize the new laptop and iPod. BUT, I am willing to record everything all over again if I have to, in order to get the damned music in the correct album order. I may be asking prematurely since I don't have the laptop yet, so can't test anything, but I am hoping that your wisdom will give me peace of mind before then.
Ultimately I am excited about having all music in iTunes and being able to finally put some music on my (work)iPhone, ex-housemate's iPod (my old iPod is going to him) and my new one.
Due to various reasons, I've not been able to update or sync my iTunes since I moved last February.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't have iTunes on hand, java, but what order did they play in if shuffle was off?

Are you having this issue with imported CDs only, or with music bought through iTunes as well (if you have any).
If it's just the imported CDs, it sounds like the track # metadata may be wonky, and reimporting may be your best option.

Jess, both. In fact, I bought Les Misérables off of iTunes and it was completely out of order!
ita, this was happening when not on shuffle. That is, I'd go to the list of albums and choose one to listen to. And it's unnerving when Octopus's Garden plays first!!!

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

Um, are you sure the iTunes shuffle is not turned on?
eta: OK, maybe not. If you're viewing songs in iTunes "As List", is some other field selected to sort by? If you select the Artist or Album column to sort by, it should then play albums in album order.

You may still have "shuffle songs" turned on - in the lower-left corner under the album art, there's an icon w/ two criss-crossed arrows. Unclick it and see if that helps! (And sorry if you've already tried this.)
