I just downloaded iTunes 7. You can configure each track in your
library for "Part of a Gapless album". (You can select multiple tracks,
or your whole library, and set this too.)
Listening to a mutliple track "Also sprach Zarathustra" and so far it
has played the tracks flawlessly (no gaps).
I am not sure yet if there will be updated software for 5G (and other)
iPods to have this capability.

We don't know yet for sure about this. It's possible there will be an
updated firmware for this but there might have been some hardware
dependencies related to power.

Yep!
Don't see it yet on Amazon.com, where I could list the unit of my choice on
the gift registry, as I have a birthday coming up next week....
I should at least go to the Apple Store to check it out.

No, the 1.2 software for the 5G adds gapless playback, support for iPod
games, display Brightness, and the large display of the first letter
when searching through lists quickly. I listened to "Also sprach
Zarathustra" in the car this evening and the gapless plaback worked. (I
had to tag all the files with this attribute in iTunes).

Huh, a friend tried last night and it didn't work on his
previous-version iPod video... Interesting. Maybe he didn't tag the
files though...

Why so? I gave the specific condition under which I would actually
consider purchase. They have now met that condition. Now all I need is to
fit it into my budget.

getting an "Itunes Application could not be opened. An unknown error
occurred. (0x666D743F)" error. The error occurred after a successful
installation. I would invoke Itunes, accept the agreement, and get the
error. I tried the standard tricks (reinstalling, repairing, emptying temp
files, etc) before finding the tip about Total Recorder in one of Apple's
Itunes discussion forums. Don't know if this is the problem Richard is
referring to.
After the fix, I was gap-free...at least with my test case of Ravel's Ma
Mere l'Oye. Don't yet know how this will effect playing the same songs on my
Ipod.

was able to seamlessly play the tracks to Ravel's Ma Mere l'Oye. I copied
the songs to my 60-Gb photo Ipod, disconnected the Ipod and listened to the
tracks. Not so seamless :-( . I reconnected Ipod to the computer and did a
get info on the album. There was a box for gapless play with the value set
to No. I changed it to yes, disconnected Ipod from computer and listened
again to the tracks on the Ipod. Still a gap between the tracks.
When I connected the Ipod to the computer, Itunes displayed a status screen
for the Ipod indicating that it was up-to-date.
I agree with Richard that it's inconvenient to have to switch between Total
Recorder and my sound card, though I haven't used Total Recorder in a while
so it's not terribly inconvenient. I had never had a problem with Total
Recorder interfacing with any of my software before and would never have
considered it to be te cause of the Itunes problem until reading about it on
one of the forums.

Or maybe it's deliberate, so that users will not be able to use Total
Recorder in able to copy their DRM-infected files?

Yes, but only for 5G models.
Apparently, you don't need to set the tags for this. At least this is
the case on iTunes itself, and reports I'm getting say it's so for the
iPod too. Which makes me wonder why the tag is there...

Filled, I don't know.... I've seen some problems, but it's not clear
whether thy are caused by corrupted music files or something else.

Gapless is only available on video iPods.

I suggest you get the 80 GB model; it's not much more than the 30 GB,
and I have a feeling that you have a lot of music. You'll fill it
pretty quickly.

It works fine on all of my Macs. It must be a PC thing. Perhaps
Bill Gates has thrown another monkey wrench into his OS to
discourage people from using Apple products. It wouldn't

The new iTunes works fine on my Windows computer. I don't use Total Recorder,
however.

Dan,
Do you have version 1.2 of the iPod 5G firmware installed? If you do
not, and iTunes says you are up-to-date, exit out of iTunes and restart.

Just one thing to know...the engraving (free) is only available directly
from Apple. I had my email address engraved on the back. (I think I
got this idea from Stephen Worth).

Directly by mail order from them, or could I get it done at one of the
stores? I like to visit the one in the Glendale Galleria.

No, only mail order. Just takes a few days (from China).
You should visit the Century City store sometime, it is newer and has
some of the newer store features, like the "Genius Bar" and the area for
kids (small round table near the floor; it is amazing how the kids seem
to grasp the computers). There's a nice one in "The Grove" right by me
too.
Steve
Matthew B. Tepper
I HATE parking in Century City. When I worked there, and had a parking pass
from my company, it wasn't bad at all. When I visit the Glendale Galleria,
though, it's usually in the company of a handicapped friend, who brings along
his placard. But now that I actually search Apple's site, I see that there's
one in Sherman Oaks that it pretty convenient to me.

Actually, the problem mentioned has to do with the way Windows manages
sound interfaces. It's not an Apple or iTunes issue; Windows allows
certain programs to "take over" the sound interface, which is a Very
Bad Thing...

Why would I have to do that myself? I'm not a computer
repairman. I have a three year warranty on them through
Applecare. There are people to do things like that for me.

What I want in conjunction with this is for any playlists that pull
random tracks to be constrained to pulling the entire
composition/album/series of tracks as I define it. I'm guessing we
aren't there yet.

He's the usual PC user who wants to mod his box... He doesn't get it.

No, but that sounds like a reasonable request.

What's wrong with wanting to mod your box? I'm assuming this isn't yet
another tiresome masturbation reference that the troll likes to do. ;--)

There are several types of upgrades available from third party sources
that will let you do all of the above. Apple doesn't do most of them,
but there are certainly workarounds. A new processor has been in the
third party domain for several Mac models; there are directions for
replacing internal hard drives if you wish, and it is certainly an easy
(and easier) matter to use an external firewire or USB 2.0 connection.
Replacement displays are also available on the internet, but iMac have
a video out which allows you to use a different display than the
installed LCD, if you wish.

Apple has posted a Knowledge Base article (which is usually their
definitive info on the subject) on gapless playback at:

Feel free to write me privately if you have any Mac Pro questions. I
have a new RC1 version of Parallels that works on the Mac Pro but it
still has issues. I, too, am hoping for that to work well.

When you have to put together a system from pieces from
a dozen different manufacturers and designers, you have to
fight out incompatibilities yourself. The advantage of the
Mac platform is that everything works together seamlessly.
There aren't as many programs and hardware options, but
the ones you have are excellent, and they truly are "plug
and play".
Criticizing iMacs because they're not modifiable is like criticizing
Caruso because he didn't play the violin. Macs do what they
are designed to do, and they do that very well. If you want
to work with graphics, sound or video, Macs can't be beat.
If you want to track inventory or do accounting for your
business, you might want a different type of computer.

The iMac is a machine aimed at consumers who want to surf the
web, use their iPod and do personal computing tasks. For that,
it's perfectly suited.

See smartplaylists.com for a smart playlist designed to do just that,
or just randomly shuffle by album.
