Gloomcookie, perhaps this might have the solution to your iPod cover art problem: [link] It's about Coverflow, but has instructions on getting cover art onto an iPod. I haven't looked at it in detail so I don't know what they're doing differently....
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

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

Odd question - for dial-up, obviously you have to have a phone line, but does it need to be active, i.e., have a dial tone?

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

If you need to dial, you'll need dial tone.

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

A modem will listen for a dialtone before it attempts to dial out.

Well, that's nice. I'm fucked then. Comcast doesn't recognize my address and AT&T says it has "no slots available" in my area. I can pick up weak signals from someone's unprotected network and I guess that's it for at home internet for me. Lovely.

WTF? For regular phone service, or for DSL?

I was only looking for DSL, but when I pressed them on that they said either. WTF is right.

I'm pretty sure they're required by law to give you regular telephone service.

Yeah, for 911 if nothing else.

Found a different number and am hopeful that the agent I'm talking to now isn't a fucking moron like the last one...
