A question i asked myself many a times in the run-up to Xmas.

80GB Classic or an 8GB Touch???

Man, all my methods are in here. Using torrents with Azureus, and Videora to convert.

I wouldn't use the Videora youtube feature though since the quality just ends up as crap.

As far as music, get some Avril Lavigne, Shakira, Green Day, Beatles, Queen, Guns n' Roses, etc.

Movies: He Got Game, Hoop Dreams, White Men Can't Jump, Celtic Pride, Music and Lyrics, Borat, Adam Sandler stuff (Little Nicky, Billy Madison, 8 Crazy Nights, and Happy Gilmore are the best), American History X, etc.

And ghoti, you say you can find pretty much anything with your newsgroup thing? Can you find a link to Juno? All the torrents I've seen so far are fakes.

Yay 15GBs filled. 65GBs to go.

haha my friend said something quite Dim today. He got an 8GB touch for Xmas and he debated the same as me about which to get. The Touch or the 80GB Classic. Anyways i have near enough 1100 songs on mine and he has 600. He said he chose the Touch because the Classic Lags after 20Gbs are used. I laughed and said his wasn't good enough for even 10Gbs. So we tried it and yeh the Touch loaded faster by about a second. He laughed at me for about 10 minutes on th Bus. Then i took my Ipod out to change song and he did the same. Then he went silent. We all looked and saw a Huuuge Crack across his screen. You could tell if he was on his own he'd have burst out in tears. We all burst out in tears as well. But of Laughter. He didn't knock my Classic the rest of the day. Perfect Karma IMO

To be honest, for cams and screeners I've had better luck with torrents.

The newsgroup engine is a million times better for music and video, especially portable formats.

Often they are already converted and the engine auto unrars to boot, so it's as simple as downloading one file. No extracting, joining or needing .pars for that one damn part that's missing.

Good show suggestions: Entourage, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, Back to You, The Office, The Big Bang Theory. I'd suggest 30-minute episodes because that's how long my attention span is with my iPod. The battery will also die out very fast if you watch shows like Prison Break, Lost or a movie.

shookem, there's an apple store at Sherway Gardens in Etobicoke, and I'm pretty sure Eaton Centre has it also. As for video converters, try Videora 9. To put songs already on your computer to iTunes, you need to add the folder the songs are in to your library.

We had an apple store open up here(Plymouth) recently. It's actually less expensive then Single brand shops normally are. I got a silicone case there for £15. I think its. Although they do dabble in other brand e.g. HP, Windows etc.

 

[shookem]

thanks locke, I'll check out those apple shops soon.

i'm probably closet to the one in the Eaton's centre.

i don't know why but video's aren't playing on my nano. I download some free snowboarding clips from itunes but all i get is the audio.

i'm having fun with all my old cd's and making crazy playlists.

it's like the mix tape never died!

Yeh I've had problems with getting videos on as well. I rip them from Youtube, Convert them to MP4 and it won't let me Click and drag onto Itunes. Also i downloaded an Episode of Pimp My Ride, I watched it once and then i went to show a friend and it wasn't there
