You can dual boot RockBox and Apple's firmware, so you should be able to sync with iTunes and use RockBox for playback.

Hopefully, it will run on my 10GB iPod (2G).

On my iPod I have a ripped CD where the last track has about 30+ minutes of dead air after the song before a "hidden" or "bonus" track. I'd like to separate this track into two son…

If you are ripping to MP3 you can use MP3 Trimmer. http://www.deepniner.net/mp3trimmer/

I'm using iTunes.

Before you rip the CD, select the track and choose "Get Info." In the "Options" tab, there are fields to edit the start and stop times for the song. Edit the stop time so that the …

Garageband can also cut out unwanted parts. Just drag the file into the edit window and put the playhead where you want to cut the track. Then select Edit>Split Track at Playh…

SpaceMonkey, I never knew that! That's really good to know! I'm Impressed. UNTeMac's method is the method I've always used. And I like this method.

Thanks for the help. I've been in a lot of classes at work and haven't had a lot of time to catch up on my reading, so sorry I hadn't replied until now.

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has created multiple partitions so that both Windows and OS X can access a common folder. Say 1: 32gb partition for a common folder, 1 for OSX…

I think bootcamp only allows you to make the two partitions. You can, however, format your windows drive as FAT32, and then you can both read and write to it from OS X. I find that…

Yah, boot camp only does 1 for you hence doing the partitions before using bootcamp. The purpose of having the extra partition would be so that one would not have to reboot into t…

If you get this to work, please post back. That's the partition scheme I'd like to have, too.

While I don't know of a built-in method to get this to work, a third party partition manager such as PartitionMagic should do the trick. Install it under Windows and use it to sub…

I have a 4th (?) generation 20 GB iPod with firmware 3.1.1. Occasionally following a recharge, the unit will continuously skip tracks. I press play, and watch as the tracks scrol…

For those who've done this, did you need two copies (licenses) of XP and other Windows apps? I'd like to have virtualization for convenience but there are times when I'll need nati…

Well, you can share data and (some) applications, by having Parallels use the Boot Camp partition (if it's FAT32) as a "shared folder". But otherwise, yeah, you'll need to install …

I'm sure you can use the same activation key, but I agree that you're going to have to create 2 seperate Windows environments. Another thing that might make it easier is installin…

How does using Parallels for Windows help in this situation?

might make it easier to share apps or files between the 2 windows environments.

I'm begining to think an external drive is the way to go here. This impression is enhanced by my recent purchase of a Bytecc USB 2.0-to-IDE adapter kit-including a drive power sup…

you all see parallels just released the RC? anyone downloaded it?
