Not entirely on topic here, but two Amazon references now have caught my eye. When I use Amazon's own 'downloader' it always manages to properly import the music and artwork into iTunes on my G5 iMac.

As Peter writes you can copy/paste.

You can also drag and drop the image, or if you're getting them from Amazon anyway, you can just let the widget I Iinked to earlier in the thread do the job.

Right click on the Amazon image and copy it. Then go to iTunes, highlight all the tracks in the album, the paster the image into the box at the bottom left .

What happens if the music stored in your iTunes Library are not your own ?
I mean you don't have buy them ?

I saw the Ipod touch today at the Apple Store. The stainless back is nice even though it was completely scratched on the back. It's thin. Flipping through titles was still a bit sluggish (same as with G1) and it seemed that when the internal sensor that adjust the screen was broken since when turned to the side it did not switch to the cover flow mode.

The Nano's were much smaller then I expected them based on the pictures.

I think I might switch to a touch once they have 64 MB, the only concern I have is that the I think Alex posted here that the sound with touch and iphone is much worse then on a normal Ipod.

I don't think we will see the 64 before christmas but early next year? That should be doable.

Speaking of iTunes, does anyone else find it is absolute rubbish at finding the album artworks??

I would estimate that I've had to manually provide the artwork for nearly half of my collection. Just today I ripped Grace (Jeff Buckley) which can hardly be called obscure. iTunes told me it couldn't find the artwork but when I ripped it using MS Media Player (for someone else) it provided the artwork without even asking.

I think they their time would be better spent sorting this out rather than pratting on with new visualisations etc.

True................ its easy to fill your iPod but you must be careful not to include songs whereby you'd rather steer your car into oncoming traffic than listen, if you intend listening in your car

Pleased to say not one of my core tracks!! The 2001 Re-Mix of Combine Harvester is surely a classic though!
