A Tutorial on How To Move Music From iPod to iTunes

By Felipe Muncrief

While it's very common to download music from CDs or the iTunes Store from your computer to your iPod, many people would also like to transfer their music from their iPod back to their computer. Unfortunately Apple decided that iTunes shouldnt help with this, even though Apple should have known this would be an important feature.

Some people suspect that Apple took these steps to protect music from being illegally traded. But what about people who wan to transfer their own music between their own computers using their iPod and iTunes? This isn't wrong or illegal!

You also might want need to transfer your iPod music to your own laptop or computer at work.

Sadly, iTunes on your new computer has been set to instinctively replace your current iTunes library. These settings will wipe out the library on your iPod, along with any music you have stored on it, and use the new, empty iTunes library. Yeesh!!!

It's not very difficult to figure out how to prevent this from happening. You need to choose 'no' when you're asked if you want to 'auto-sync' your iTunes and your iPod.

The next step would be removing particular files from the iTunes folder within your computer, revealing your hidden files, moving the file "iPod Control folder" along with your iPod music to another place for protection, and finally generating a new iPod Control folder. There were additional steps involved, but I think you understand.

To avoid this very aggravating scenario or the complicated process necessary to avoid losing all of your music, third party vendors intervened and established some very helpful software.

Tune Tools, PodMaxx and iPod 2 iTunes are all programs that have been made so that you can easily transfer music on your iPod back to your computer, or to another computer.

With these programs you are able to easily copy songs, videos, and playlists from your iPod to iTunes for a moderate. Each of these programs includes features that iTunes hasn't yet included in their own software. And they cost between $20 and $30a real bargain, particularly when compared to losing your entire iPod library! - 18758

Gibson Greats - The Flying V

By Peter McCauliffe

If you think "rock guitar" you might begin to imagine a long haired rocker, hunched over his Gibson Flying V Guitar, pushing out an ear bleeding solo whilst fireworks shoot off all around him. This is the image of heavy rock!

The Gibson Flying V is certainly one of the rock guitars that will go down in history as being one of the most unique designs ever. Originally built and launched by the guitar company back in 1958 and then relaunched in 1967, the mahogany bodied flying V took the world of rock by storm.

The models that were created on and around 1967 are considered to be the classic design and are the most collectible amongst vintage guitar collectors. This older design is known as the V Factor rather than the flying V. Gibson does still make the guitar under the name of Tribal V and they also make a flying V bass guitar too!

You might find modern artists and bands like The Foo Fighters using a Flying V these days, but in it's time, the V has seen greats like Marc Bolan and Jimi Hendrix too. Jimi was notorious for using these guitars on stage and even has his own signature model that he chose to cover in a paisley pattern.

If you are a lover of all things Gibson and Flying V, then an original 1967 model will be top of your shopping list. There are plenty of them available to buy in various states of repair, so make sure you check out your local guitar shops or sites like eBay. There were only 350 Gibson Tribal V's produced, so getting hold of one of them might be a little more difficult.

The Gibson Tribal V is a newer, more up to date version of the older model with all new components and electronics. The modern, youth tribal tattoo markings and graphics make it stand out from the crowd too.

There have been other makers of the V style guitar through the years. Ibanez for one copied the look and design when they released their own version. Rumor has it that Gibson had to step in with their lawyers to prevent these guitars from being made and sold, such was the strength and quality of the copiers design.

The Flying V certainly has made its mark on the ethos and mythology of rock music and guitar based rock. Its image is immediately recognizable and the Gibson quality, design and perfection make the guitar one of the best rock guitars ever. - 18758

Ring Tones - Yeh Dil Maange More

By Sam Roberts

The words in the Pepsi advertisement jingle compiled for the Indian audience, literally translating to "the heart wants more" and most everyone's craze for new and varied ring tones are a perfect match. With the number of cell phone connections sky rocketing in India and the rest of the world, this is one craze that has very little chance of ebbing away. Not that I am one to complain, especially if the tune is one of Kishore Kumar's evergreen melodies! But I'd draw the line at some of the more bizarre tunes or so called tunes, like a baby crying or the sound of a 'fart' that some individuals insist on assaulting our eardrums with.

Some basic points about the ring tone:

1. It is the name given to the sound made by any kind of telephone, not just mobile phones, to announce an incoming call or text message. Most of these sounds, especially those that do not have a tune or are not customised, are not tones at all and should actually be called ring sounds.

2. The first telephones had a bell which made a 'ring'ing sound when struck by a hammer, operating electromagnetically, to announce a call. While this system is still common, most cell phones and modern land line phones have advanced from the ring to producing different kinds of sounds.

3. While receivers nowadays allow adjustments to the volume, there are many variations on offer regarding the type of ring tone - to allow differentiation between two or more instruments lying side by side. Specific customer requirements are also covered, such as for the hearing impaired.

4. Towards the late 1980s mechanical ring tones were slowly getting replaced by electronic ones progressing from single tones to those playing two, three or more tones and then on to melodies.

5. 1996 saw the advent of the customised ring tones on mobile phones, with some Japanese manufacturers offering a number of options, both customised and pre-recorded.

6. Downloadable ring tones were available from 1998 and this service has now become an enormously successful industry right across the globe.

7. Real tones, which are usually taken from popular songs, began to be distributed from late in 2002.

All the new music being generated by bands, composers, films, etc. number in the hundreds of thousands across the world. Marketing these as ring tones before or at the time of launch allows the tune to become popular and improve the prospects of it becoming a 'hit'. Ring tones are now available online, can be sent via sms or copied from a DVD or CD. A number of sites specialise in bringing the latest offerings to the consumer, sometimes the second it's out of the recording studio. There is a huge amount of financial turnover in this business, running into billions of dollars, because everyone would love to have only the latest and the best. Since I am no different from most others and want options for everything, my heart to get to have more . ring tones! - 18758
