Recording sound directly to the iPod

I assume that this is possible. A Belkin mic and some software are all that are required?

There are currently no voice recorders compatible with the iPod 5th generation. Whether Apple choose to address this with a software update remains to be seen.

Recording sound directly from the web?

I have Adobe Soundbooth CS3, and I'm trying to find a way to record a sound directly (on the wire) from a web page. I've been unable to do this, being relegated to the built-in microphone.
One example, is recording the interesting "Audio Preview" on Youtube.
Is there some trick I can do to accomplish this?
Thanks.

Recording sound directly from a DVD into your computer

Can you record sound directly into your computer from a DVD playing on your computer?

Audio Hijack also creates large files, size-wise. This can be a problem if you are working with putting music on audio cds. Google "ripdifferent" for a site that discusses various methods of legally backing up legally purchased media. The gray area here actually has to do with breaking encryption- under US copyright law, users have always been allowed to make a single back-up (Fair Use) of any recorded media they have purchased. It is possible that media companies are, themselves, in violation of copyright law by making it difficult to make said backups by encrypting their media. Also, copying (ripping, recording, etc.) any DVD in any way would seem to be covered by the warning at the start of all DVDs (including soundtracks), which would include Audio Hijack, for instance. This all came about when the digital revolution made it possible to create exact copies. Back in the day, copying an LP to cassette, for instance, was not considered a problem, because you would lose a generation. BTW, ripping music DVDs can be problematic, as they are mastered differently than are "movies," and some Mac ripping programs have difficulty with them. Proceed cautiously and consider legal ramifications, but also consider retaining YOUR legal rights as well.

Managing song directly on the ipod

I am very new to this, so I am sorry if this is a very fundamental question. I moved my music off my computer's internal drive (ran out of disk run) and put it on an external drive. When I travel, I don't bring the external drive with me. Can I manage my files directly on the ipod itself - create paylists, change genre or song name or album name using itunes and the ipod? Any advise is appreciated.

Hey JenYo,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like a few songs will be skipped. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Is it possible to rate songs directly on the iPod touch?

Is it possible to rate songs directly on the iPod touch?
Also, is it possible to rate videos directly on the iTouch?

Hi jackhowson,
As Micromen said, you can rate songs directly on your iPod Touch.
However with videos, currently you can't! You'll have to rate them on your computer. If you would like to ask Apple this feature, click [Name|http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html] and fill out the form.

Can songs be deleted directly off the iPod?

Can songs be deleted directly off the iPod without connecting to the computer? A co-worker purchased an iPod but decided he didn't want it and wants to return it so he deleted the program off his computer. He asked me how to get it off the iPod. I told him I didn't think he could that I knew of. Anyone know?

Can you edit a playlist you make directly on the iPod Touch?

Okay my iPod, I think came with a playlist "On-the-Go". I've created 2 other playlists when I was synced and added some songs. Now I've purchased some songs directly from my iPod Touch, they are not on my computer. Now I would like to add those songs to the playlists I've created on the iPod Touch. On the "on-the-go" playlist there is an edit option on top of the screen but that option isn't on the 2 playlists I've created. I really don't want to sync (my own dumb reasons, but will if I must). I would really like to manage it directly on the iPod.
Can it or can it not be done?

No, not from the Touch interface. Editing is limited to the OTG playlist before you re-sync to iTunes. Once you sync, any OTG list you created will essentially become a regular playlist and cannot be edited without iTunes.

How can I connect a PC with iTunes to an ipod and make iTunes play podcasts directly from the ipod without synching with iTunes on the PC ?

I predominently use my ipod to listen to my favourite podcasts. I download podcasts onto my Home PC using iTunes and then synch the podcasts onto my ipod again using iTunes. This all works fine.
Occassionally I want to connect my ipod to my Work PC via iTunes and listen to the podcasts by playing them through my Work PC external speakers. I DO NOT want iTunes to synch with my ipod, I just want to access the podcasts on the ipod and play them directly using the iTunes on my Work PC. I used to be able to do this, but have recently had a new replacement PC provided and now when I attach my ipod to the new PC iTunes wants to synchronize, and I can't see the podcasts which I know are on the ipod.
I'm sure that this is an easy one for you experts out there. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Arnold

Just to be clear - I have a new Work PC. My Home PC and ipod synching is all still working fine - it's just connecting the ipod to my new Work PC - and not being able to see and play the podcasts from the ipod - which is the problem that I am trying to overcome. Thx.

Recording TV directly off the set with no lines?

I'm interested in using my camcorder to record directly from the TV set--point the camera at the screen and record.
For anyone who has ever done this, usually you get some interference lines that slowly crawl up the screen.
Do you know if it's possible to record like this without those lines? Thanks.

I recorded American Idol and Glee tonight in High Definition. But I sure didn't use a camcorder. I used a USB device called the EyeTV Hybrid from ElGato and a rabbit ears antenna.

How loud is the sound generated by the iPod Touch transducer?

My question is, at what distance from iPod Touch will I be able to hear the transducer sound for a calendar event?
Like many others, I would like to switch my calendar and addresses from a Palm PDA to an iPod Touch device.
I need an alarm sound for a calendar event to remind me that its 20 minutes before I need to leave the office to be on time for an off-site customer meeting.
I have used a Palm T5 PDA, which has a low, medium or high alarm sound settings. Even when the alarm sound is set to low, it can be easily heard by and annoy my neighbors in adjacent cubicals.
Is the iPod Touch sound loud enough to remind and get me to the meeting on time? head

Unfortunately there is currently no way of having an audible alert for a calender event.
The calender app however does allow a visual alert before the event.
Try leaving feedback for apple on this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html
since there is already audible alarms using the transducer, i'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to add this feature to the calender app as well.
Regarding the volume of the transducer, it is generally loud enough to waken me in the mornings.
Hope this helps.

I recently bought a shuffle 2nd generation. When I went to upload my music files from my computer, I began by dragging the files and placing them directly to the ipod itself, not the library. How do I put those in my library?

How can I move my songs from my ipod to my library? I try to simply drag and drop, but nothing happens. I also deleted the songs that I moved from my computer to the ipod. I figured that since it was in my itunes, I didn't need them saved on my computer. I didn't realize I was dragging and dropping my songs directly to my ipod until it was too late. My wife noticed what i was doing and brought it to my attention that I wasn't dropping them into my library. Please help.

So if I understand you correctly, you are wanting to copy the content/music that is currently on your iPod Shuffle to your iTunes library? If so, you'll only be able to make this happen by using some sort of third party software as iTunes does not allow you to sync from the iPod to iTunes (with the exception of iTunes purchases).
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Driving Directions on the Ipod?

I was just wondering if there are any programs that will transfer Driving Directions and/or Weather to my ipod. I figured this would be a good place to get peoples' opinions on which program, if there is more than one, might be best.

I've heard od subway maps being available for the iPod (try google), but that's all I know of.
