That's fair. But I doubt whether manufacturers will change their designs when he complains about the fact most modern gear is largely incompatible with his old container or canopy. Again, I'm in no haste to add new technology and will always try to do so in a way that degenerates elegantly on older browsers. I will however not primarily design for the exceptions on the left of the bell-curve. AJAX is a very cool concept and I find it to be ridiculously fast. I built it into two of our Intranet applications and it works quite quickly at getting data and updating a portion of the page (even though it was my first use of it and the code is unbelievably inefficient). But I digress.... Make sure you tell who ever ends up doing this for you that they should make all functionality work with or without javascript. You write the code as if there is NO javascript. Ie: everything is done server side. THEN you add a javacript layer over top. THat way, those who actually update their browsers to keep up with the latest in web technology will get a faster and slicker site while those who don't won't get shut out entirely. If you didn't notice yet, I know AJAX.

I tried burning images with Musicmatch. It does not work. But that second method seems intriguing. Thanks. My point is that I don't WANT to HAVE to burn to CD and rip just so I can have a fully editable and functional song that I BOUGHT. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

You are saying that having to set the end points and burn it to disc TWICE and then reimport is NOT a kluge? Perhaps for you, but sorry, I will have to disagree. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Once again. I do not burn CDs. Nor do I buy CDs. All my CDs are now ripped to my computer. Any future songs will be downloaded. The cutting and splicing I am talking about ONLY applies to tracks I BUY from iTunes. I used Audacity to cut up my Cd ripped mp3's. I just looked it up. From what I can see, you can set start and stop points, but the file remains intact. Well, I want to actually CUT the file to remove the excess. And I want to leave it on my computer and listen to it outside of the iTunes software. As for hidden tracks. Let me rephrase: BONUS tracks. For instance: Atmosphere's last two albums have TWO songs on one track with a 4 minute space between the two. Now, if I downloaded this from iTunes (with the DRM they apply), how would I put this on my iPod so I could hear the songs without the 4 minutes of silence? Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

iTunes lets you set the start and end points for every song in your library on a song by song basis. It even respects this setting when burning your playlist back to a disc. I don't burn to disk if I don't have to. And iTunes would let you cut and burn DRM protected music? And what about hidden tracks that come 5 minutes after the end of the last song on the same track? How would I handle that when I transfer it to my player? Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Man, did you even READ my post right above yours? And yes, I used my Dell DJ through the aux input in my rental car when I was in San Diego. Sound is the same quality as CD. You don't need an iPod to do it . The advantage that iPod has is that some decks will allow you to control the iPod through the deck interface. That is about it. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

I had one of those till it broke. They work fine in less populated areas (though the sound quality is significantly less than a direct auxilary plug in) but in areas with many radio stations, the sound quality is crap. But, if one does not want to buy a new stereo with an aux input, it IS a choise. Over the long term though, a new deck with an input is the way to go. And you can plug ANY mp3 player into it with a 4 dollar male to male headphone connector.

you are cool. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

That's a DRM thing unfortunately Jen Yes. Hence my first sentence. But since iTunes is party to such madness, I hate them. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

You pussy. You ain't gonna do shit. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Here is why ITunes (or any site with DRM music) pisses me off. I cannot modify the files. Oh sure, I can burn them to CD and then rip them back as mp3 but why should I have to jump through hoops to cut the files I bought LEGALLY. Here are some examples: Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf. Nearly every song contains some interlude with a damn DJ talking. I don't want to have to listen to that every time I want to hear a song. So I cut out the talking. Can't do that with iTunes downloaded music without burning and ripping. Same thing with Incubus's album Science. The last tune is around 15 minutes. But 9 of those minutes are silence and crap. I don't want it. So I trim the mp3 file. Same thing applies to ANY cd with bonus tracks where the bonus comes after a long pause on the last song. I cut thme into two songs. I need the ability to easily trim the files. I just want songs dammit. iTunes (and Musicmatch) do not let me do that with ease. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Hey! I have been known to hump a leg or two in my time.

is that right? Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

If it is good quality, make martinis. I like mine dirty. vodka dash vermouth little olive juice olive use the garlic stuffed ones from trader joe's. fantastic! Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Sorry man. My dad has rental properties. Those he has had to evict have always been able to afford booze and cigarettes just fine. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

It is a song John. Google is your friend. If only you will let him into your heart. It's not my job to track down other people's stuff. If they want to discuss something with others, they should provide an explanation, or a link, or something. I got it just fine John. I think many others got it too. Or if they didn't, they didn't angry about it either. Or maybe they did and are now beating their dog. I don't know. I am sorry that you can't take 4 seconds it would take to google one of the lines. You should really try to free up your schedule. Maybe lose an hour of complaining. Try staring at a wall blankly for an houre. I find that works for me. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

That was pretty good.

Can they pay you by check? Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

You didn't know? Yes, it chose the male gender when it gained sentience early last year. But since Google is quite powerful, it would be no trouble to change genders at a later date if he so desired. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Which also explains the lack of quality. Oh god. Will the double entendres ever stop!? I submit that they will not. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Qualifying as the lamest does not preclude it from also being the best. When the number of insults received is low, being best of the day is not exactly difficult. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

That was the lamest insult I have received today. Please try again. I don't want my faith in you to be crushed upon the rocks of disappointment. I already lost my soul there years ago. Faith is all I have.

Ehhh, he rained on his own parade. I just added a little bit.

RW suits look weird enough at the DZ. Now you are wearing them in the clubs too? Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.
