I just noticed that when importing "five guys walk into a bar" onto my iTunes, there are regular and very irritating gaps of absolute silence every ten seconds or so on every bloody song!.... I assume that this is the record industry's very successful move towards stopping me from abusing their copyrights. (The bastards!)
However, and I feel quite strongly about this, I did legally buy the bloody cds and I am chosing to listen to them on my ipod, so why am I being stopped from doing this????....Does anyone know how to get around this problem????
Thanks for any help,
Johanna

I don't know why you are having that problem. I don't have any problems with listening to Five Guys on my iPod. It all plays fine. And I listen to it quite often. |

Well, I didn't get as far as exporting the lot to my ipod, but when you play the songs on itunes, these silences appear...and no other Cds have ever done this before, so I assumed this is a new security gimmick....
I shall try and download them onto the ipod and check.
Thanks, knight in shining armour...

Ahhhhhh. You are using iTunes to ply the stuff. I have that problem with iTunes too sometimes. It is usually a problem with the Quicktime player that iTunes uses. Quicktime blows.
I think that you will find that once you put the music over into your iPod, your problem will be gone. |

Sorted. It works. Silly me!
(But if a fire-spitting dragon came to abduct me, may I call for help again?) |

Absolutely. You can call on me even when there are no fire breathing dragons with iPods involved.
I am here for all damsels...with or without the distress. |

Egon: I COULD swoon for you, too!....Providing you can solve this problem for me:
I have Itunes contents burned onto discs (courtesy of my nephew). Whenever I try importing this onto my own iTunes, the security features stop me from doing so. Not that I want to steal well-earned royalties from all those well deserving artists or anything, but it would be cool if you knew a solution to this.....
Gratefully,

Egon: thanks ,I feared as much, but I think I may sulk now...
All the music on the discs is actually "old" Southamerican salsa, I very much doubt it will be somewhere to download for free, but I'll check ...otherwise I'll have to take the laptop with me next time I'm in Spain at his house. Thanks again.
Gazza: well, yes, but would I not run the risk of breaking a fingernail handling one of those fire extinguishers???? |

It's OK Jo. I'll lend you one of my armored gauntlets. Guaranteed to protect expensive manicures and painstakinly laquered nails.

See, Gazza? Thank God there are still valiant, self-sacrifising knights in shining armour in this difficult world......(and I have only one word to say to you: Immodium! ;-)
Oh Kind Sir Stonesalot: thank you! (double-swoon....) On second thought: if you are there, why do I need a gauntlet at all???? |

Well my dear, you can never be too careful. With hands as soft, delicate, and finely groomed as yours, there is no sense in taking chances.
I would also insist that you wear my cloak. Wouldn't want you to catch a chill.
And please, stand on my horse blanket. We can't have you getting your pretty tootsies muddy! |

I was dreaming last night
Last night I was dreaming
How you'd be mine, but I was crying

Crying like a child
You will be mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, all mine
You could be mine, could be mine
Be mine, all mine

So stealthy, so animal quiet

I'll come to your emotional rescue
I'll come to your emotional rescue

Tonight and every night

I'm working on a Tom Waitsish version of that! It's gonna be better than the original.
Of course, howler monkies screeching and dogs farting are better than ER. |

Wow, this thread has a soundtrack to it now!.....Lady Charlotte, thanks for your noble efforts...
Dear Sir Stonesalot, my gentle Knight, please be very careful in that suit of armour of yours when playing the electric psaltery . I would be mortified if you electrocuted yourself!!!!!!! Remember to connect the Earth-wire to the tip of your left boot first...
(Note to the Research Department: Howler monkeys???? Are we in South America??? In the Middle Ages???? Although the comparison between the animal's characteristic sound and MJ's voice makes absolute sense...) |

Yeah, howler monkeys.
One of my golden rules, never to be broken..."NEVER piss off a howler monkey, no matter how tempting." |

Oh yeah...and Charlotte is a dude. |
