I'm not a fan of iPods so I picked one of these up.

Just figured out how to manage the playlists! Woo-hoo! Have to delete the stupid little "\" from the front of the file path in the m3u file.

mperfect - Not a rhapsody fan since I like hardcopies of my media purchases without DRM. Anyways, there's a simple way to create playlists with Winamp. You have to modify some settings in the preferences and then modify the m3u file with notepad. Pretty simple. A little labor intensive...

If you have the desire, I can send you directions. Rhapsody isn't a bad way to go, either.

My condolences. SolidWorks is a dangerous creature! I have lost far too much work as well because of its memory-hogging ways...

Yeah. I must say though, 2009 is much less of a resource hog and I've noticed it is faster too. Still I swear I spend half of my day looking at a little bar saying "Rebuilding..."

WTF are you guys talking about? :confused:
It's a pretty boring answer, so I'll answer it. :)

Solidworks is a CAD program, basically I make stuff in it. After you make the stuff though, when you show it to your boss or client, you generally render it. So, instead of a gray "clay" looking model, you have something that looks fairly real, or even photorealistic if you spend some time on it. Solidworks has a built in renderer, but its kinda crappy, so I use Blender. But when you render it takes up all your computers resources...because it mimics the way light reflects and all that jazz. Even on a fast computer, a complicated final render sometimes takes 15-20 minutes for me.... and leaves a computer so hot you could fry an egg on it.

And if you use the flux capacitor with NEW ballberings it will totally make your computer go faster........or the gyroscope puller...any of those will do the trick.......

Pat,

I can appreciate that. However, I'm lazy and don't mind using Rhapsody. I still have all of my mp3's on my computer, and can drag and drop those at will. I do occasionally lose playlists, so go ahead and send those instructions. I'll take a look at them, and if it ever pisses me off too bad, maybe I'll invest some time and give it a whirl. Thanks in advance!

I'll PM them to you later tonight. The interface to use is WinAmp to do what I'm talking about.

I used 2008 for a bit and reverted back to 2007 because I didn't like all of the shiny "Vistatastic" crap they added or changed. I haven't tried 2009, but if it uses less resources I am in! I have always settled for RealView in SolidWorks for rendering, but I was always more of a function over form kind of guy.

Actually I will have to start using Pro-E and figuring it out because that is what they use at my upcoming job...

Oh, thank you. I actually think that's kind of cool.
With SolidWorks (and some other stuff), you can go from this:
