Back in business

[caddyman]

With one or two exceptions that I can live with out, I now have my music library back on my PC! The exceptions seem to be two or three albums that were originally loaded from Furtle’s back up disks and which don’t like being shifted around much – they are subject to old-style Apple protection, back in the days when even though you’d bought the music they wouldn’t let you do much with it. Since they are Furtle’s purchases, I don’t really mind and can easily get them back if I want them anyway.

What I do have to do tonight is to re-download the Fleischer Superman cartoons that got wiped when my Hard Drive died. They never made it to the iPod on account of the screen being far too small. They were fun on the iPhone, though. I believe it is easy enough to get them back from the iTunes store.

Thanks are due too, to budgie_uk, who emailed me a dollop of ring tones to replace those that got wiped out. I could have recreated something like them from scratch, but... As it is, I have re-done two that I originally made myself and tonight, when I have time I shall spend 5 minutes or so making a couple more. In particular, for some time I have wanted a ring tone of the Ukulele Orchestra’s rendition of The Devil’s Gallop. Now seems like a good time to create it.

Which of you wants to be identified on my iPhone by the Dick Barton theme tune, then?

Oh, and while I think on it, I can't recommend SharePod highly enough. Thanks and kudos to whoever pointed me at it.
