Patrick,
Here is a tip:
You can just copy and paste album art sraight onto iTunes by right clicking in the lower left hand corner of the application.

They DIDN'T show the BEST parts of Maps24! :(
1) That you can "fly" the route
2) That you can rotate the 'aerial' view so you can view it from any direction! Great for seeing how the subdivision looks when coming from the North, which is reverse from typical map layout
3) That you can click multiple points on map and it measures the distance 'as the crow flies'...great for quick approx of distance when exact addr are unknown, but one can see them on map.

Pat, You got your album art the hard way. Just drag and drop off the web into the lower left corner of your Itunes page.

I noticed that the DivX audio is off by approx 900ms. For those more technically savvy going into you're audio player settings you can offset (delay) the audio by 900ms and make the video more watchable

To johnvicious:
Oh, just so you know, spelling dude. It comes in handy if you want to make sense!

Personally, I'm quite happy with podcast, the common use word, rather than the trademarked netcast, owned by Netcast AG of Switzerland. Or netcast, trademarked by Leo Laporte.

For iTunes album art on a Mac all you have to do is click and drag the picture from google into the little Album art spot in the bottom left hand corner.

*Smiles at all the other Mac users in the cast*

I have a Question and if you can address it in the next show that would be Great.

How can people fix the Quicktime New Itunes 7 install problem? As you may know many people are having trouble trying to get this to work myself included... The dam itunes says it needs quicktime to install so ok I go get quicktime 7.1.3 even though I had quicktime already run the installer it crashes saying some unknown error happened. Ok so I uninstall the quicktime i have maybe that's the problem.. now I have nothing and it won't install and says same error message, please for the love of god .... PLease tell me what is causing this I can't figure it out and now I have no quicktime and no Itunes because the install never completed...? How can apple make this thing so bad..... PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE>>> S.O.S

my ipod is losing all it's life, i think it's dying because it has not seen itunes in weeks... PLEASE anything you can do would be much appeciated.. thankz

allofmp3 is in the news again. Visa is said to have shut them off. They are now using an alternative for payment. allofmp3.com to said to now threaten to allow downloads for free!

I have a good use for them. Use the service to get mp3 versions of your cassettes from years past. You already bought them for full price in times past and the fee they charge is a reasonable fee for the effort to rip them to mp3 and in my view perfectly legal as you already own them and only converting the format.

HD trailers from the Quicktime site are always jerky until they're completely downloaded, no matter the speed of the system (at least by my experience). Don't know why, but your viewer with the 2.4GHz P4 system should be fine for 1080p if the file is local and complete.

I use albumart.org to find cover art that's not available in iTunes. Works well.

I enjoy your shows- the h264 looks great on my old PAL Sony TV. Maybe Robert should post a list of things to look for when buying HD or SD TVs as I am easily confused. I hear of an increasing number of LCD TV failures due to our heat and humidity in the tropical downunder. Have you heard of this?

Keep up the great work.

Are we children? I couldn't believe the "Adding Art in iTunes" segment. Really. Not only is that an obvious, basic process as well as a feature present maybe since iTunes began (at least since the first Windows release) but it was also done in the MOST rudimentary and inefficient way possible. Saving an image and writing tags one at a time? What the hell? What sort of information is that? How about a tip to streamline it like selecting all tracks, dragging and dropping to the art window?

Love the show!
