Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
No worries. My questions were actually based on the fact that I've been avoiding it like the plague so I know very little about Vista.
What I really need to do is take one of my PC's and install Vista on it specifically so that I can start to experiment with it and find out the particular things that it breaks for me.
The very idea of Vista hurts me. But then, the very idea of XP hurts me, and I understand that it has evolved into a pretty good, stable, secure OS. But I definitely remember the days when super-geeks like me were saying "XP sucks, stick with Windows 2000 if you must."
All that said, the last version of Windows I ran on a computer owned by me was Windows '98 SE. Clearly, my Windows knowledge is a bit out of date.
You've convinced me to go with XP, whatever solution I end up with. I'm thinking going cheap, with a reconditioned Windows machine that I can soup up with as much memory (seriously, 4 GB) as I can.
o hey, for those of you who want a 2nd cheap iPod (or a 1st one) The Woot of the day is the 4th gen 20GB iPod (looks like the short lived HP version). Only $99+ $5 shipping. [link]
I'm downloading Parallels. It changed enough since the beta stuff I played with. Plus they bribed me with $10 iTunes gift card, so how could I refuse?
wow, sorry for the running riot of posts today. Y'all must be doing things more than loafing and avoiding work.
Anyhow, the question for the awesome hive mind. Is there a way to take a playlist from an iPod, that was created on the iPod, and export it/copy it/move it back into iTunes? I created some cool lists at work, and now want them saved at home. Eventually hope to actually sync rather than just manual, but I don't want to loose these awesome playlists... or have to recreate them either (BIG playlists).
I have no clue about ipods but I am loafing and avoiding work.
I await the answer, omnis.
omnis, Tuneplus (available at your local Big Box store) is supposed to be able to do that. I bought a copy when I got my new iPod after the old one died, and the computer containing my iTunes library had also died. I can't say it worked very well for me, but that may have been the condition of the old iPod.
I haven't tried it, but it appears as though the free YamiPod can do it: [link]
