  • one more thing... how does the sound of any of the FM transmitters compare the sound from the cassette-style adapters? I have a cassette adapter currently, and the sound is OK, but not great. Wondering if the transmitters are similar or markedl…
  • apple's offering 10% off on the Monster FM transmitter, but it's still $69 (before discount); the iTrip is $35 and you can get a car charger for about $20 - that's still $15 cheaper for both the charger and the itrip compared to the Monster transmit…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Paul I'm confused... why won't the trade in program work with the edu discount? are you saying you can't get a discounted PB in addition to edu or you cant USE an edu(ed) PB to be eligible for the $700 off? i'm sayi…
  • Quote: Originally posted by pscates Well, there's that whole "take it where you wanna" aspect too... PowerBook beats the iMac, hands down, on that one. yeah, but the comparison is 17"PB alone versus 15"500MHzPB PLUS imac. either way i…
  • FWIW, I confirmed the program, BUT my TiBook is NOT eligible for the upgrade program apparantly because I got thru a university with the educational discount. The tech said that might change, and that I should call back in "a few weeks."
  • the apple store in chicago (michigan avenue) says its a rumor. haven't had a chance to call the number listed above yet...

  • Quote: Originally posted by CubeDude You can convert the files to MP3, y'know. Burn it to a CD, and then import the songs back to iTunes as MP3's. That's true. But: A) that's a pain the ass and that's recompressing alread…
  • most of those programs, from what i've seen, allow you to import the songs themselves or possibly songs + playlists. Don't know about just the playlists. i'll play around with some of them i guess.
  • i've only bought 2-3 songs. The limiting factor is that you can't stream AAC over a home network (to either TiVo or SLIMP3)
  • no replies!!! OK then, anyone know how i might find out? The sony clies use the palm OS so I would have thought they would sync with macs out-of-box; but they don't - you need "the missing sync" thing. What's different about sony PDAs vs p…
  • Quote: You won't even need the airport basestation! The tower with airport card will be your basestation. But it will be running at regular airport speed, not Extreme. good point. save yourself a couple hundred bucks, ditch the ABS, and just …
  • interesting. i guess the logitech quickcam express doesn't "suck ass" due to the USB connection - it simply "sucks ass." period.
  • i bought a 250MB firewire zip drive about a year and a half ago when i got my 500Mhz Tibook and it came with a free logitech quickcam express USB webcam. It sat in the box for about a year until the macam driver was updated to work with it. It …
  • got it to work. just as you said, just put smtp.rcn.com as the mail server, no password, now it works.
  • why would they have gone out of their way to disable mac users from accessing their site? I can't believe they are seriously just trying to be a-holes; is there some technical reason for this?
  • Quote: Originally posted by shiny just use their smtp server while retaining the .mac account as the return address. in other words, when setting up the account, retain all settings as they are save for the change of the smtp server. you mean…
  • nice. actually, didn't even use the phone. just listened to my ipod. it did occur to me, though, what a pain it would be IF my phone rang, to pause the ipod, remove the earbuds, unclip my phone, yada yada yada, and wouldn't it just be simpler t…
  • i agree with "stupider...likeafox." the only thing i'd add is that the VBR implementation in itunes is horrible and will produce low avg bitrates with terrible sound if you set the min bitrate too low. encoding with LAME is much better. if yo…
