Off I go into the world of Apple... Got myself an iPod and an 160gb external HD...
I'm glad I got a laptop and an Apple over a PC and Windows based OS.
Just curious, any others users here who do torrents and stuff? I gotta lot to learn... I paid an extra $100 for a years worth of one on one help from the Apple store. So, basically they'll teach me all I want to learn. I thought this was cool... |

Hey, P...
I'm a Mac User and a torrent person. I'll be happy to help you. Just to get you started, I used Azureus to DL torrents.
I use a sound editing program called Amadeus
http://www.hairersoft.com/Amadeus.html
And I usually burn stuff with Roxio Toast Titanium.
E-mail me if you have any questions!
Welcome to the sunny side of computing.

the new apple commercials are great. It tells the whole deal. Mac's are simple. User friendly. Fun.
PC's are still the old, pain in the ass way of computing |

while i will stay in the wonderful world of microsoft and windows new offering vista... i will say for photoshop (be it design or photography) work and virtually all graphical design work apple owns that sector hands down over microsoft. i used apple computers exclusively from like 1988 until the release of windows 95... now theres no turning back.
as for ipod... got the 4gb new nano for kids and i... their itunes software allows one to organize music absolutely cleaner and better than anything i have seen to date...
apples forums are a great source of help for ipod and itunes along with quicktime (i have QTPro and love it for cell phone and ipod video conversions).

Sway what irony i bought this the day before Mac World kicked off here in SF. Didn't even realize it until after i got home. Not like I didn't know, MW is huge here, it's like Woodstock for geeks!
I'm really privilaged to be in such good company here with helpful cool Apple users.
I'm getting my iPod loaded at Mp3's at 320kpbs, got the radio adapter and it sounds great through my amps radio, hopefully the car will be clean sounding as well.
30 gigs won't last long... Shit i should got the 80 gig iPod! |

pdog, I got the 30gig ipod. Right now I'm rolling with about 4k songs loaded and plenty of room left - but thats more than enough tunes for me. I just run it on shuffle mostly.
enjoy it. ipods are a music geeks dream. And you'll really enjoy life in the easy lane with your mac book |

I bought the iTrip, and i was nervous it would sound shitty through my home stereo. The way it sounds, I feel like i just made my CD player obsolete.
I did make on time wastng mistake. I just grabbed stuff and started ripping and sync'n stuff to my iPdod. I wasn't happy with the sound on some stuff. I played around and realized my default was ACC files at 128kbps... I switched to Mp3's at 320Kbps, huge difference.
there's so much I can do with this MacBook. I'm glad i paid for the year of tech advice at the Apple Store. I'm going to really enjoy this... |

the Apple stores here in NY are great. The Genius Bar makes life so much easier whenever theres a problem. I've brought in 4 different ipods over the years and they were able to fix 3 of them right on the spot. The waits can be a pain. But you can schedule your apt via email and then head down.
also the Apple stores here have really cool classes everyday that are free to attend. Teach you all kinds of easy tips and tricks for using iPhoto, iTunes, DVDs, webcasts etc |

I bought some home pod device. I'm looking forward to getting this iPod thing started tomorrow. It might cut back on my posting but soldier on w/o me. |

MP3s at 320 take up a lot of space...I usually rip at 192 |

No. Rip high.
memory is cheap. You can always add more to your mac. And dot mac offers idisk storage space and you can buy additional space to store all your files remote
this way everythings backed up

just doing an Mp3 is hard enough for me... i know, i know... I'm a bit uptight about my music quality, but at 320 I don't gringe, anything less and i hear and don't hear flaws and missing fidelity... my music is too important...
just like food and sex, if i don'y give it my all, why bother! |

Pdog, there is also "apple lossless", sort of like Flac for iPods. I don't import stuff as apple lossless, so I don't know what the memory impact is. Discussion boards at Apple.com might be informative on this.
