Re: tips for using both EphPod and iTunes at the same time: This is kind of cumbersome, but whenever I use ephpod these days, I first kill several of the iTunes services that are running in the background: gearsec.exe, iPodService.exe and iTunesHelper.exe. That way, when I plug in my iPod, iTunes doesn't autostart and "grab" the iPod. I use Sysinternals Process Explorer to kill the three processes. My 40gig iPod now has "mixed content" -- 1/2 of the tracks transferred via iTunes, 1/2 transferred via Ephpod. I haven't noticed any ill effects from using both tools as iPod managers. Joe has added a "Make EphPod Default iPod Manager App" feature to version 2.75. It's found at the bottom of the "iPod Tools" menu. I haven't tried this feature yet, but I assume that it instructs the iPodService to fire up EphPod rather than iTunes when an iPod gets plugged into the system. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Steve K Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 8:27 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: [ephpod] Re: Just out of curiosity are there any good reasons... I'd also say that iTunes runs sooooo slow on older hardware -- my old 400mhz laptop can barely handle it while EphPod zips along. Even tho I am no longer an EphPod user (been using gtkpod on linux), does anyone have any tips for using both EphPod and iTunes at the same time? Are there any caveats to say, loading up iTunes and buying some music, then switching back to EphPod? cheers, -steve ------------------------------------------------------ ephPod Mailing List FAQ and HomePage http://www.ephpod.com mailto:[email protected] to susbcribe mailto:[email protected] to unsusbcribe mailto:[email protected] the mailing-list itself ------------------------------------------------------ ephPod Mailing List FAQ and HomePage http://www.ephpod.com mailto:[email protected] to susbcribe mailto:[email protected] to unsusbcribe mailto:[email protected] the mailing-list itself
