For as long as I can remember, I never really liked radio. I would listen to it solely because it was there, not because it was good. It became cliche to say “radio sucks” and then get in your car and tune it in.
A few years ago, my radio broke in my car, and I had to live for about 3 months without it. At first I felt like I was “information detoxing”. I would think, “Sit in silence and do nothing!! Are you serious!” But somewhere around the two week mark something changed. I still missed being able to listen to music, but I no longer wished I was “jacked in” to the public airwaves. Because even though the DJ’s were crap, crappy DJ’s seemed to be better than no DJ.

I should be able to link to an album or song to iTunes. If you don’t have iTunes installed, it should then take you to an install page on apple.com. If you have it installed, it will just fire up itunes and play it.
So I let myself get all pissy on this, and I never looked around the googleweb. I found the iTunes Link Maker which supposedly does this exact thing.

I was just ready to go to bed, but then I had a thought how certain songs remind me of certain people. Like when I hear the song, I get a quick rememberence of them for whatever reason. It’s like it is their theme song whether they like it or not. I mean, it’s in my head.
This is going to be real lame for people that don’t personally know me, so I apologize in advance.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
