eurotrotter

I HATE ITUNES!
is there any alternative for mac users to allow us to transfer mp3's to ipods without having to use a software that will duplicate everything its introduced to!
or is there a way of using itunes without getting every files duplicated?!

i am also looking for a file duplicate software that will find and sestroy all duplicate on the HD.

just one other thing, im looking to download theis mp3:

I don't know of other software to do it.

Go into iTunes>Prefs>advanced and you'll see any option to turn off the copy to iTunes function....BEWARE though that if you bin your folder with the tracks in it, it won't be in iTunes any more. I keep the copy function on, and then delete the folder I have copied it from.

Google file duplicate mac, there are a few solutions out there. I would be careful though.

Click on the link above which should open the quicktime plugin in your browser. At the end of the Quicktime control bar, there is a downward pointing black arrow. Click on this WHEN THE FILE IS FINISHED, and save as source.

Have you not tried to control-click on that mp3 link and then choose 'Save Link as" option to save it locally. Works for me in Firefox. It's a 19MB file so I didn't bother completing the download.

iTunes is great. Get over it.

alt-click the link and it downloads it straight away.. as in you dont need to control click and then save as..

Nope, sorry, that link seems to be broken?

Virtually everything Ed posts here could be found with a quick google. But sometimes it's easier to just give him the link than to explain that to him.

Agreed, but patience is wearing slightly thin I think. Don't know about you guys, but to me it doesn't seem to be as much of a problem on other forums he posts on, perhaps we are just being too nice and helpful
