hopefully, apple will get on this. balance, gapless playback, cross-fading. how about: shuffle set by playlist? maybe even above ideas by playlist? (ie would be great to have "nor…

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.

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…

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?

well, I'm using the RC now. the coolest feature is the 7 or 8 new ways to switch between OSes in addition to the flipping cube feature. my favorite is the "warp." pretty cool, c…

I hadn't though of using Boot Camp AND Parallels at the same time in this context, and I dont' even know if it could work. It wouldn't matter how many partitions you set up on the…

are you implying that people should share files between OS X and a bootcamp windows environment thru an extrenal USB harddrive? I guess this would work with no problem, but seems …

well, I've seen Parallels in action sharing files. I mean, I don't know exactly what kind of files you're referring to, but just transferring Word files isn't a problem. Some for…
