How can you help?

We need to do an informal survey of list members to find out who

You're quite right guys - I just got a little depressed after reading the
blog below which highlights how the labels could still quite easily wreck
the party by sabotaging Apple's prices.  The important point as you guys
have reminded me is that if you are buying just a couple of tracks off an
album, you can't beat iTunes and it should hopefully be rare for the
purchase of a whole album on iTunes to not also be competitive.

Here's hoping the examples cited in this blog are the exception rather than
the rule.  :-)

And finding that only 3 out of 10 songs were actually worth listening to more 
than once ;-)

And I don't know about others, but on the odd occassion when I have bought a 
cd, the first thing I do is rip to iTunes then store the CD away.  A waste in 
my book!  (Unlike the cool stuff you used to get in records!)

[OT] What is an ex DET Acer Travelmate 270 worth?

[Reg Whitely]

Hi WAMUGgers

[OT]
I'm hoping someone may be able to help with this query.

My son in law has been offered an ex-DET lease Acer Travelmate 270  
for $750. It seems to have been well looked after.
Generally I'd say don't buy second hand, compared to what you can get  
new, but I need to ask this question?


Is it worth $750?

A quick inspection suggests it is 896 Mhz Pentium R, 1.6Ghz HDD  
running Win XP Home. No other software as far as I know, other than  
IE and usual Windows install stuff. It doesn't seem to have CD  
burning or DVD capabilities, or installed wireless -  radio/infrared.


As I've had far more experience with Macs, I'm not sure what to tell  
him. What is your advice?
(Don't tell me to tell him to buy a Mac. I know he should :-) but  
he's a winMan. Let's leave it at that.)


Many thanks

Reg

roughly $30.

Jaguar.

I've have tried and tried to fiddle with the files in Photoshop but I
cannot pull the colour into an acceptable reproduction of my original

for the old ScanWizard files but cannot do this for this one - the
colours are too far off - or perhaps it's my lack of knowledge)

I've complained to Team Digital where I bought my software   They
suggested perhaps I could partition my hard drive and run the old

with the old ScanWizard, but said this was drastic and they would look
into better scanner settings in the new ScanWizard to fix the
problem.  I don't think this will prove successful so I am
considering my other options."

[Christian Kotz]

Hi all
My iSub issues have progressed from the hum I mentioned months ago as I 
found when trying to use the iSub this morning, the power supply blew 
out. No more subwoofing for a while :(
Anyone know where I can find a genuine replacement for the 15V 2A 
transformer to power the USB edition of iSub rather than the 16V or 17V 
Soundsticks transformer?

Re: Problem with Software Update

[Gordon Campbell]

Oddly enough I had this problem with one of the guys I work with just  
last week. I'll bet you're having problems printing too.
In my case something had happened to the permission on the /private/ 
tmp directory, cause Software Update and Printing and a number of  
other things to be unable to write to the directory, despite  
apparently having permission. From the terminal I used 'chmod -R 777 / 
private/tmp' to reset all the permissions on that directory and the  
problem was fixed. Note that I'm pretty sure that isn't the usual  
permissions for that directory, it solved the problem, but I did have  
some concerns that it might cause others.

Dear WAMUG'ers,

I'm running OS X 10.3.9 on a 1.8Ghz Dual G5 with 1.5Gb RAM and am  
having

problems with Software Update.

For some time now Software Update would allow me to 'Download' the  
latest
updates, but after having finished the download a message would  
come up

advising that I do not have enough permission.

So, ran repair permission, which I do every week anyway, and still  
no joy.


Ended up by simply downloading the update file directly from  
Apple's servers
and running the installer. It still irks me no end that I do not  
seem able
to fix that permission problem which Software Update is telling me.  
Any

clues please?

Also, the Software Update is telling me that there is an updater to  
iTunes,
being v 6.0.1 of 12.8MB size. However can't find this updater  
anywhere on

Apple's site. It's probably simple, but what am I missing?

Many thanks for any suggestions,

Regards,

Philippe

128kbps using ACC is better quality than 128kbps MP3 - closer to 
around the same sort of quality you'd get 190kbps



I notice that the free download single from Youth Group is ripped at 
128kbps.  Surely this isn't the iTMS standard?

So how does that work with the iTMS in the US?  Do purchasers find the extra
state taxes magically added to their credit card bill depending on the state
on their billing address or something?

Don't forget the tip as well - I often found myself paying almost double the
advertised price of meals in restaurants after tax and tips were added.
Very frustrating.  Thanks goodness it is required here in Aus that GST be
part of the advertised price and I'm so glad tipping hasn't infected us
here.  I could never help feeling like it was a bribe to get decent service.
(I know a lot of staff survive on tips, but it just doesn't feel right).

Yeah, they are showing the corporate greed rather blatantly these days
aren't they. Here's an interesting and amazingly eloquent article by
Courtney Love regarding the Music industry's exploitation of their artists:
http://www.machelpdesk.com/courtneylove.html
Here's hoping more and more sign up independently with iTMS as their label
so they get a more equitable cut of the proceeds.

So has everyone downloaded this week's free single of the week?  At last we
can start accessing these even if one doesn't buy too much from the store.

I just spent some money, buying audiobooks for travelling south  
tomorrow.

$1.69 per song.   Hmm, doesn't quite have the ring of 99c per song

So we have the following breakdown:

USA = 99c   (A$1.32)
Europe = 99euro  (A$1.58)
Australia = $1.69
Japan = 150 yen  (A$1.73)
UK = 79p   (A$1.87)
Japan (2nd tier) = 200 yen  (A$2.31)

So I guess we're about middle of the road.

Don't forget in the US that 99c has sales tax put on top when you  
purchase (since taxes vary from state to state).  I got caught out  
on that on the very first item I ever bought in the US.  Handed  
over $20 as the item was advertised $19.99, then got stung an extra  
couple of bucks at the counter!


The $1.69 was the price when the backdoor was open in April.  And  
no Sony/BMG artists or tv shows.  Guess they just couldn't quite  
get Sony over the line (here or in Japan).  Let's make Sony pay for  
the ignorance!

Grrr,

Yet again the record companies are annoying the hell out of everyone...

Most of the aussie artists are 'by song only' or 'partial albums'.

Grrr.

Apple's site. It's probably simple, but what am I missing?



Th normal download option at

http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

gives you iTunes 6.0.1. Just click the button. I know, because I had  
to do this after Software Update failed to download it once again...


I must say, though, that Software Update is working for everything  
else on my system, just not iTunes.
