My guess is that transfer of the audiobook-type file in question would be perfectly legal if used in a Janus-compatable digital music player. These mp3 players are made to support .wma files with the encoded time restictions. The subscrption music services like Rhapsody and Napster provide...

Cheryl- I'm a zip supporter, and all, but in your case, I would use a CD-R. The waste of space is far outweighed by the cost savings of using a CD. Zip media is still fairly pricey.

nice tip. I did not know that.

The anti-Zip sentiment here is amazing. As I see it, they still have their niche. I work in a University, where 250-MB or 750-MB internal drives are built into all Windows boxes on campus. I frequently work on PowerPoint presentations and Word documents at work and bring them home saved on a...

Dumb question: How is it that AOL does not offer broadband for Mac users? Is there not an option to get DSL/Satellite/Cable and bypass the "extra features" specific to AOL?

I have the same issue with Airport Express in my home, except I think that my cordless phone operates in the 900Mhz range. The router is in the basement and we often use the laptop two floors up. Anyone else out there had issues with a 900MHz phone? Would the 802.11b or 802.11g setting be...

I'm still a iMac G4 owner, but I did have concerns with the G5's sound after fooling around with one at the local Apple store. JetwingX earlier post confirmed this. The speakers seem quite limited after being accustomed to the very clear sound from the standard G4 speakers. Is there an option...

I have an unusual request. Due to an unfortunate mishap -- or more, specifically the act of a deranged puppy -- I have sustained damage to the cord on the AC adapter to my 12" AluBook. If you are familiar with it, the damaged cord is the one that goes from the transformer to the wall...

Chemistry_geek nailed it with why old versions of WP still have an appeal to many of us. The reveal codes feature is so simple, yet powerful. Why others haven't adopted its functionality is beyond me.

The issue of cross-compatability will always be a consideration because of Office's dominanace -- regardless of the program's quality. That's just reality right now. Whenever we share files in our workplace, it's either in *.pdf or in an office format. Remember that Office is a HUGE cash...

Applewhore, [DVD ripping instructions edited out as per site rules - Ricky] Getting back on topic, a video iPod or any PVP is probably not best used for viewing feature films. Music videos, brief video clips, or 22-minute TV shows are probably what most people would enjoy such a device for.

Does your PDA and your Mac have Bluetooth? If so (and if you can limit your range to ~30 feet), then you can look into Salling Clicker or Romeo.

At the risk of sounding overly speculative... I'd think that by using optical audio in the Airport Express hardware, that there may someday be capability for streaming 5.1 sound in a future version of iTunes. Perhaps an iTMS for classical music will have tracks encoded in a secure codec...

This is troubling b/c I use my 12" Alubook to watch MPlayer files on my TV all the time. In display settings, do you use display mirroring or set up 2 side-by-side displays? If so, was this setting possible toggled when you stopped DVD Player?

What features are most important to you? Basic PIM/organizer functions? MS Office file compatability? Multimedia? Wireless browsing? Mac compatability? Cell phone convergence? Things were a bit more cut and dried a few years ago, prior to the last generation of Palms, but now the...

soulseek, I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification. It did seem unusual for them to advertise windows media support.

How about this? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c00216824 The listing of supported file types includes unprotected .wma. Is this a unique feature for the hp iPod? I know lots of windows users with vast music libraries saved as wma's, who would love to...

This type of idea can be a win-win situation if you consider that universities are dealing with the use of their campus networks for peer-to-peer sharing of copyrighted works. In the best case scenario, such a program would be an incentive for students not to use that type of software. As a...
