Hey. New board.

This is likely the only QuickTime plugin you will ever need.

Combined with the WMV plugin anyway.

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

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good and free U3 password manager? SignupShield only seems to manage web passwords--I want a PC version of Keyring.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've never used it, but there's this.

It's weird. I don't want to install a trial version of anything, because I don't want to spend the time typing in the info and then redoing it for an app I actually settle on.

Which is kinda dumb.

And I realise that I'm a bit leery of typing my passwords into a third party apps whose innards might not be trustworthy. Which is kinda dumb too.

Having recognised the dumb, thanks--I'll give that app a shot.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Aargh. Anyone know why when I burn songs to a cd from iTunes, then import the songs to iTunes on other computer, I lose all the song info? So aggravating.

(ita): I've been burning my DRMed stuff out to CD and then re-importing it. I lose played statistics, but iTunes has tagged the songs correctly otherwise.

Searching back in the thread, it sounds like there's some way to do it. Help?

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

If you burn an audio CD, the tag information will be lost. If you just copy the tracks (i.e. not using iTunes), much of it will be kept (you'll lose ratings, at the very least).

So drag and drop to the disk?

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

When you burn the songs to CD, are you just making a regular music CD? If so, then all the info gets lost at that point (that's just the nature of a music CD - it doesn't store that info). And when you stick the CD into the other computer, I think the CDDB database lookup won't recognize the album you made, because it'll be subtly different from the original one.

eta: x-posty....

Yup, Brenda.

I've not had problems with this. My burns of entire albums have so far been like enough for Gracenote (née CDDB) to cough up the info.

Oh. Maybe what I'm thinking of is if you make a CD that is not an exact track-by-track duplicate of an album, CDDB won't recognize it.
