iPhone, you watch on average around two movies every day? When do you get time to use your Squeezebox? ;) I don't imagine your usage is particularly common. And even if you do watch things 5 or 6 times, you presumably still choose them rather than clicking 'random'. -- SJobson Mac Mini

Re: [slim] iTunes going DRM Free

2009-01-07 Thread SJobson
I've read elsewhere that you can't upgrade only some of your existing songs to DRM-free for $0.30 each; it forces you to do the whole library or not at all. So check your receipt from ITMS carefully! -- SJobson Mac Mini - Squeezebox 3 - MF X-Dac V8 - MF XT-100 - Spendor S5e

I have longer filenames and paths, but that does look a likely cause. Though I can't understand why it hasn't happened before. iTunes is running, but the time of creation is exactly the time of the Squeezecentre scan, so I'm pretty sure iTunes isn't doing it. -- SJobson
