p>I’d say we had a pretty unique Valentine’s Day:

First I gave her my gifts:

• Put the wedding CD I created on her iPod Nano and changed the Artist to the wedding day, the album to “Scott Loves Samantha”, and changed each song album cover to a picture of us.
• Compiled another wedding CD from all the songs I decided not to include or couldn’t because of space limitations.  Named the artist the same as above, and change the album to something else fun.
• Bought a bunch of her favorite treats that she enjoys.

The one gift I got this Christmas/Channuka was a new iPod. Technically, I got several gifts that I didn't like and took them back to get it, but whatev's…I got it.

I have had an iPod since the day they came out for Windows. I mean, this thing looks vintage. It's big, its scratched up, and it is dirty. But my biggest problem is that I have WAY too much stuff to fit on its 20 gigs. I would of replaced it years ago but I knew the iPod with video was coming and decided to wait.

I just downloaded JHymn and I am really excited about it.

I love the iTunes music store, but I also love my TiVo and the ability to listen to music on my computer. The only way to listen to music on TiVo is to convert all my aac files to mp3 which translates to burning a cd, then ripping them to mp3. Yuck.

Well JHymn handles all that. It actually does MUCH MORE than what I want it for. It actually removes the DRM from the aac files completely and can convert it to mp3 (or keep the same m4p extension w/out DRM) without any loss in quality. That will allow you to listen to your aac files on an unlimited number of computers. Pretty nifty.

I feel really dumb, but somehow in the last 6 months, I couldn't figure out how to copy an AAC file that I purchased on iTunes to my iPod.

What I have tried:

1. Dragging a file from “Purchased Music” to the iPod doesn' t work. When I drag the song over the iPod, it doesn't highlight the destination folder like it does in other folder playlists I have. It works for mp3 files, however.
2. Dragging the filesystem folder over my iPod folder works, but it doesn't add any of the songs within it if they are AAC files.
