It's common (I think) knowledge that you can use the Disk Utility to erase a CD-RW and then reburn it. But doing multiple sessions with Disk Copy was previously unknown, Neyo. This should apply to all CD-RW and CD-R media. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. Can everybody try it and...

Apple sometimes has some surprises. I remember with Mac OS X 10.0, which was released on Saturday, March 24, 2001, they auto-upgraded me to Saturday shipping, and I got it the day it was out. Awesome! :) I dunno if Apple's gonna do the same this time, but it sure would be nice. I'm...

Yeah, these are AIFFs already on the drive. They are converted from MOD/XM/IT/etc. files that were converted using PlayerPro. Then I wanted to get them in MP3 format in order to play them in iTunes (these are the pop-pop songs, btw -- awesome trance music!). SO the way to do that is to use...

You mean the folder called "Desktop Folder" at the root level of your hard drive? If that's the one you're talking about, that's a normal folder placed there for the specific purpose of allowing a Desktop in Mac OS 9. If that's not what you're talking about, then I dunno. But you can always...

The "Convert to MP3..." menu item is gone, replaced with "Convert Selection to MP3". Now I can't directly convert some random music file to MP3 and have it added to my library. Now what I have to do is add it to my library, select "Convert Selection to MP3", wait for it to convert, and then...

Um... excuse me? I'd like to point out that this is totally inappropriate and you all are being immature.

Today, merely a day after the MWNY keynote, I went down to the Apple Store in Palo Alto and what do I see? A knock-your-socks-off 17" flat-panel iMac. OMG do I want one. That's gonna be the next Mac I get. :) And also, to my surprise, they had installed the beta version of Jaguar on it! I...

It's not THAT complicated. You just create a disk image with what you want, and then burn it to the end of the CD. The only difference between this and the Finder is that these steps are basically automated. But it's so few steps that it saves you only a little time. senne: You're right...

I thought this was interesting. You actually CAN burn multi-session CDs through the use of Disk Copy. The original hint was posted at Mac OS X Hints. Here's the entire hint: Yay! That's what I always wanted! Now if Apple could only integrate this into the Finder somehow...

Um, as far as I know, instant messaging never costed $100 and still doesn't. What the hell are you complaining about now?

You can turn off the bubbles and have it look like a standard message-by-message interface, but I like the bubbles. :) It makes it look like an actual conversation.

Whoops.. I keep doing that. Everybody is acting like they have to pay that much, so I guess it just accidentally slipped out. I know it's $100/year. :p And I don't think there's a way to do it, yet. Apple just updated the help for some reason but hasn't updated the feature yet.

Looks like Apple pre-empted you, Admin. :D http://help.apple.com/mac/5/help/mail/pgs/mac43.htm I'll be sticking with .Mac, but thanks for the offer.

Hopefully they release it in August when the new iPods come out. I heard somewhere that in the Apple discussions, an iPod software updater will come out around then. Maybe it will include AAC audio support! :)

I'll bet you Apple is not going to charge. I'll be paying the initial $50 fee for the first year, though. If Apple comes out with some compelling services by that year's end, I would be entirely willing to continue to pay the $100/month fee. Let's hope Apple IS going to keep e-mail...

Because usually their bashing is founded. I'll give you the PowerPoint thing (WTF is an embedded Word doc, and what files does Outlook have?). But no, themacko, I'm not an absolute moron – I was referring just to Word files. I didn't think about PowerPoint. You've been making more...

You know, it's polite to talk to people directly rather than referring to them in the third person. But I guess you wouldn't care anyway. And yes, you touched a nerve, because everybody (especially you) is blowing this completely out of proportion. [B] Nobody made you buy Office v.X...

Like I said, "completely unbiased" does not constitute blaming Apple for things that Microsoft has done (charge outrageous prices for Microsoft Office). "Completely unbiased" does not constitute spreading misinformation that you have to spend "$2000" to get Microsoft Office files to open...

Would you like to back that statement up with some evidence, or be like a normal little troll and just say things that are completely untrue?

Give me a break, boi. He sees this one thing as a way to start bashing the Mac platform for things like MICROSOFT outrageously charging for their office program on the Mac. He blames Apple for that. And by the way.. AppleWorks is $79 and can open Microsoft Office files perfectly. I think...
