- [The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)] - Over the weekend, our sibling blog, Autoblog posted about a cool article from Technoride (part of PC Mag) covering six ways to pair your iPod with your car. FM Transmitters are nice, but you can also go the cassette adapter route, or even use a line in, if you have the proper connection in your car.I personally prefer to just race around town with my noise-cancelling headphones on ignoring all sounds from the road. Is that wrong?Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments Ads by Google |

- [The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)] - Filed under: iTMS, Multimedia, Video, Cool tools, Tips and tricks, iTunes Another gem from MacOSXHints covers a method, albeit not exactly pretty, for labeling TV video files you bring into iTunes as TV shows. This helps with organizing videos and I believe using the new Search Bar in iTunes 6 (Edit > Show Search Bar).The MacOSXHints post offers a command line tool by the name of AtomicParsley for doing the editing and applying the correct label, while a commenter on the post created a GUI wrapper for it. |

- [The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)] - Filed under: Accessories, iPod FamilyezGear has released a hard, clear acrylic case for the 5G iPod cleverly called the clearCase Video. The case is hinged at the bottom and includes openings for easy access to the headphone port, hold switch and dock port. While one downside is that the click wheel is completely exposed, a plus for the case is that, in addition to the belt clip, it's one of the few 5G cases (or possibly the only) I've seen that includes a lanyard.The ezGear clearCase Video is $26. |
