Nah, I'm just trying to get the tags all neat and proper for my ipod. Not all the songs from my bootleg aren't being loaded into it and for some odd reason I'm thinking theres an issue with the tags.



I could be and most probably be wrong.

Do iPods have support for FLAC now? I've never owned one. I know you used to have to download Rockbox for iPod to playback FLAC on them.

Bloody pig fart!


What other program can I use to edit tags for mp3s? iTunes is being uber fail to me at this time. It won't allow me to edit the song info for two songs.

Also, what other programs besides VLC can I use to watch video_ts files? I downloaded a glastonbury concert and my vlc plays it for one second then stops.

MediaMonkey is decent for tag editing. Similar to iTunes, but better.

yeah media monkey has been relatively kind to me for combining 3 ipods worth of music (dont ask).

also here's a bit of helpful computer advice:
sandnippy (6:39:45 PM): well... its official.. im pretty damn awesome... and smrt
sandnippy (6:39:49 PM): mostly smrt
xjsb125 (6:39:56 PM): awesome
sandnippy (6:40:02 PM): i know
sandnippy (6:40:48 PM): the little icon thing that tells me my battery level turned to an x to indicate i had no battery.. i figured it was windblows or hp fscking up so i pulled the AC adaptor out.
sandnippy (6:40:52 PM): my comp turned off
sandnippy (6:40:54 PM): :-D
sandnippy (6:41:52 PM): turns out the battery wasnt fully in the bay... so there was a loose connection so it'd occasionally be a prob like that but would usually work itself out since its on my lap and depending on the angle i was in and all that
sandnippy (6:42:04 PM): i didnt think to check the battery at all the first 3 times i saw it happen
sandnippy (6:42:24 PM): just "hey look.. i made it go away... im awesome sauce"
xjsb125 (6:42:54 PM): haha
xjsb125 (6:42:56 PM): narf
sandnippy (6:43:17 PM): agreed

clearly the advice is to pat yourself on the back.
go fuck yourself.

Bear with me on this one:


You know how sometimes your mouse cursor turns into a little hour glass. Well, when mine does that, all of my programs go non-responsive for a period of time. IE fades out to a whiteish colour and I can't do anything. I can't even close the window. The same thing applies to the other programs I'm running at the time. Sometimes it lasts a few seconds and other times it lasts a few minutes.

WTF is wrong with this piece of crap!?

did you do an upgrade from an older version, or install a full version? also, have you done your windows updates?

I re-installed windows 7 and updated the shit out of it. That in itself took a while and some raging on my part because I initally had no idea how to update windows at all. Whoops. :happytears:



Now all I need to do if figure out how to stop my cursor from jumping all over the place when I type. This message took a few minutes longer to type out because of said cursor issues.
