  • I'm not interested in Podcasts. Is it possible to disable the Podcast item from the "Source" menu on the left? I was looking for something in the lines of "Show Party Shuffle/Radio/iTMS" and can't seem to find it. On the other hand, editing playl…

    in loud clicking sound from superdrive...??!! Comment by drumsticks June 2005
  • Short answer yes. The TCP/IP protocol is independent of operating system. You might have to manually specify IP addresses to get them to communicate, but otherwise, everything should be ok. On newer machines, you may not even need a crossover cable …
