Create Gapless Audio from CDs with iTunes

Here's a tutorial from wanderingFocus (via Command-Tab) that shows how to preserve gapless tracks when importing a CD into iTunes, for burning to another CD or for listening on an iPod. The key is to import them all into a single file and make chapters using ChapterTool (Apple's utility to add chapter markers to podcasts). This will allow you to preserve the seamless audio from the original CD, which is great for live music or any other continuous audio.

Remove Scratches from iPod

Here's a good, pretty short article from Collin at Command-Tab that describes how he was able to remove a big scratch from his iPod screen:

So, I fired up my standard tool of choice — the Dremel. With the included polishing wheel attached, I put a tiny bit of the “A” abrasive on the iPod screen and set the Dremel to it’s lowest rotation speed. Too high a rotation speed would cause heat to build up because of friction, and possibly melt the iPod screen to an even more unusable point.

There are a couple small scratches on my own iPod screen -- I might have to try this out and see how it works.
