Exporting iTunes playlists - an update
by Jason Clarke Feb 18th 2007
Back in early January I wrote a post called Exporting iTunes playlists to non-iPods? - Ask DLS. At the time, it turned out that there wasn't a good replacement for the tool I had been using to move both playlists and the actual sound files to my non iPod MP3 player. Now there is. Many readers suggested iTunes Export as the tool I ought to use to accomplish my task, but at the time it didn't support copying files. However Eric Daugherty, the author of iTunes Export, was monitoring our discussion and decided to add the functionality I'd requested. He requested a more complete description of the features I was looking for, then allowed me to test a beta version once he had it working. I have to say that although the beta version was not feature complete, it worked perfectly for my purposes straight away.
Now Eric has released a new version of iTunes Export that allows you to choose between the original functionality (simply copying playlists) and now the opportunity to copy playlists including all of the song files. It works great. Thanks Eric!

So it took me about a decade, but I've finally reached the breaking point: I have too many usernames and passwords to remember. This came to a head today as I tried to log into a handful web sites to change some billing information and had to make multiple tries to get into half of them, even having to click on the dreaded "Forgot your password?" link once. Enough! There are dozens and dozens of programs out there designed just to solve this problem, but the trouble is figuring out which ones are crap and which ones are good. And that's where you come in, dear readers:
So I'm sitting here on a 
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
