Today I dowloaded the new version of iTunes, iTunes 3 with a lot of nice features and found it work very well in my iBook.
Have you tried it yet?
Itunes always wants to sabe the mp3 files using only the song name. I know that you can rename the files again with Applescript plugins or extra programs (I use the plugins). Do you rename them to you know, Artist - CD title - Track -song, to export them to the Empeg? I want to delete all the files of the empeg and copy again from iTunes to Empeg, since I made a lot of fine tuning with the names and I'm a bit confused with how important are for the empeg the file names.

By the way for backups, what I do, I use CD-RW and I copy all files to the CDs on Alphabetical order, I have a CD-RW for A, another one for artist beginning with B an so on. When one gets full, I just copy all that to a CD-R (or leave it as CD-RW it dependes how lazy I feel that day)


thanks
