I am curious to know if anyone else finds this with iTunes. When trying to shuffle things around to make space for more music I find that if I throw out some tracks to make the requisite space - plus some - when I come to adding the new music I get a dialogue saying there is not enough room.

I have also found this when I am up to the wire with space on the disc (which only has music on it, nothing else) and I am converting an mp3 file into say an AAC file, it claims there is not enough room even though I have thrown out tracks which account for space many time over the space required. When I say thrown out I do mean thrown out, not left in the bin or removed from the library but not the disc.

However, I have found that if I put something in the bin which is not music and then empty the bin, the space is cleared. Happens every time. I just create a blank text file, save it to disc and then throw it out and away goes the junked music and I can function again. Is this not bizarre? Is it peculiar to my G4 or does this sound familiar to anyone else before I mention this to Apple?

P.S.

I am interested to note that, because I used an M dash instead of a hyphen the server bounced this mail:

LIST module(list mac-uk) reports:
 Your message cannot be posted.
 It is composed using the 'windows-1252' character set,
 and this list accepts ISO-8859-1 only


Seems a little "picky" to me and suggesting I am using Windows I find quite offensive :0]
