I know they have them for pc's I figure there should be mac drivers for some units. One other way and a nice way to backup all of your data offline.. is to get a external harddrive.. you can find them cheap enough on slickdeals or newegg. make sure you have usb 2.0 or firewire if aplicable. for #12 You should be able to find a usb to usb cable for transferring data from one computer to annother.

But I have had a Mac notebook for about 2 years and have decided to get a new one since I loved it so much. however During the past couple or years I have acumulated quite a large iTunes file, my question would be How easy is it to transfer my existing iTunes to the new computer with out burning hundreds of disks? and how can I do it?

Modern music already has way to much of this and older tracks sound much better without it. Unless your system is lacking in certain frequencies you shouldn't need to adjust the EQ or use iWow. Louder does not mean better sound quality. Let the audio engineers tweak the music. Part of the enjoyment of listening to album is listening to how it was mixed and mastered. Save yourself $20. iWow is just compresses (not file size) the audio. Modern music already has way to much of this and older tracks sound much better without it.

Volume up/down, next/back, play, even show/hide window, show playlists, etc. The menu bar item is optional. Personally, I use Quicksilver triggers, mapped over the same shortcuts for SizzlingHotKeys. That way, should QS crash, everything's the same. Sizzling Hot Keys also is a nice, intuitive app that gives you keyboard shortcuts rather than just the menu bar item.

Anyone have any luck with it? wanted to check it out, but it didn't want to unzip with the regular "Archive utility" but gave me the dmg with theunarchiver. but then wouldn't mount the dmg, anyone else having issues? or no problem?
