I just posted a thread about the autofill action I wrote for automator which lets me autofill a random selectiong from a list of tracks (generated via a playlist or just selecting …

As I said in your other thread: You don't need Automator to do that. A Smart Playlist is more than powerful (and flexible) enough.

I usually like the following conditions: Current music rotation: Lasted played is not within last 2 months or even something like New Music: Playcount is 0 Well, I'll try out …

It is available for download here: http://automatoractions.com/files/fi...tosize0.2.html Just copy the .action into <your home directory>/Library/Automator

I bet an 8 or 16 GB nano comes out when Apple can source flash memory of that size and sell a device around it for $250 to $350. Last I saw, an 8 GB CF card was north of $1K, so i…

I ****ing hate threads like this.

I did do a search on this but was unable to find any info. Has anyone actually done this? On the FAQ's I read that they will replace the engravings on the ipod but none of the song…

Thinking about getting a Nano, I decided to see just how much 4GB would hold by deleting all but 4GB of my iTunes Library from my 15GB iPod. Strangely, 4GB of music showed up as …

You probably have other programs on your iPod. Have you ever used it as an external hard drive? You should be getting closer to 13.5 gb on a 15gb iPod, I would say.

If you don't have any computer data on the iPod, just use the iPod updater program to restore it to the factory state. That should get you back to full capacity.

I guess I'd like to know what the formatted capacity of the iPod nano is. It's usually about 92% of the iPod's stated size when empty. The iPod has to reserve some space to keep t…

The 4gb nano is apparently 3.7gb.

Memory sizes are not like hard drive sizes. Since memory chips operate in powers of 2, 4GB of flash memory should actually be 4GB. Apparently, the iPod OS takes about 300MB. Chris

Can the nano's flash memory still double as an external "harddrive" ? [By the way, thank you poster. I reset my iPod to the factory settings. Voila! Back to over 13GB capacity whe…

Yes you can use the nano to store files. Since it can't use firewire (except to charge the battery) I don't think a Mac could boot from it, but I'm not sure.

I found these pictures that really show the difference in size between the iPod mini and iPod nano: http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=107511

I've always thought of Porsche as being the 911. However, they make a baffling array of cars that look almost, but not precisely, the same - Boxters, Caymans, Carreras. And of cour…

The 911 (Carrera) is for people who want a Porsche. The Boxster is for people who want a Porsche but can't afford it. The Cayenne is for people who want a 4x4 and a Porsche but can…

In reality, they're all great cars, and I'd love to have any of them. (perhaps not a Boxster though. Boxster S maybe..) Sign me up for a GT2/GT3 or GT.

The Cayman is the roadster version of the Boxter. Only marketing people know why Cayman costs more than the Boxter (Porsche deliberately put in more horsepower). The 911 is the C…
