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!
I tried to get it to import a playlist to itunes and it was more problem than it was worth. So I just decided I didn't need those playlists after all.
What you may want to do is load the playlists in yamipod and save them as a html file so at least you have the name of the songs.

Ya, I'm getting close to that. Not giving up on the playlists, but thinking it might be easier to just recreate it manually in iTunes. (I had to stop the export earlier today to go frolic in a/c land, and I'm trying at it again before going to bed.)
Does this make any sense? [link]
A rumor that the high-end iPod will switch to Flash-based storage (no HD).
How much would an iPod with, say, 120GB flash storage cost?
(Yeah, I know - I should just wait 'til tomorrow. I've been ignoring most iPod rumors, but this one made me curious.)
Does this make any sense?
Makes a whole lot of sense -- it's been rumored for a while now, they've had a lot of success with the flash-based Nano, and it's been rumored for even longer that flash rather than hard drives will be the direction for portable devices (including lightweight laptops) as larger amounts of flash storage get cheaper.
Here's a rumor saying they won't be switching to flash: [link]
Someone should totally deathmatch the rumors sites. Engadget could be the referee.

That all makes sense; I just didn't know flash prices had come down enough for that to happen now.
I think it's a combo of flash prices coming down and Apple discovering that the market for the really big iPods isn't as large at the smaller sized ones. I suspect we might see a switch to more flash based stuff, but that the memory sizes are going to come back down for a while.
I'd love to have a 200 GB iPod, but I just don't think I'm going to be seeing one for a while.
I'd like to make it pretty simple to send email to my provocateuse dealio (BTW, Dreamhost has been beyond great for them, and they get more traffic than I'd dreamed possible), but I'm getting torrents of spam, since I have simple mailto links in the HTML.
I want to change the submission addresses, so at least the spam will bounce around somewhere else--but "provocateuse" is a bitch of a word that I'd rather not have people retype. Am I SOL? I can't think of any way to make it machine readable, but not, you know, machine readable.
Well I don't know what to call it, but set up a Gmail address. They have best freakin spam filters I've every encountered. You will get almost no spam in your inbox, and while you will have to check your spam filter for false positives, there won't be many.
