ok i've just boutght a new laptop and i need something with wich to manage my music and vids. im not too happy bout itunes because of the way it feels the need to copy all your files into a completely new directory.

the problem is, i have an ipod and i know how ghey apple are with their cross compatibility. if there are any other programs that can interface with the ipod and keep the functionality, please feel free to share.

Hi Basti

I can tell you from experience that Winamp has an iPod plugin you can use.

Another one that is getting lots of praise at the moment is MediaMonkey

There is also a new one coming from the same lot that bought us Firefox. It's called Songbird

That's still in beta though, so I suggest you try the others first.

Hope that helps :D

Yeah, Winamp is the tried and true media player for most. It doesn't chew through processor power like Windows Media Player does (I say this, but I still use Windows Media Player)

You do know that you can change where itunes dumps you music, right?

I use itunes on my PC to manage my music, but only out of convenience... and the fact that I am rarely in front of my PC.

Winamp is a far superior app.

I use Winamp for mine as well. After trying to figure out Itunes, and cracking it after it wouldn't even pick up my ipod, I found Winamp, and it's so easy and quick to use.

winamp "really whips the llamas ass" :P

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
