Also, some Google searching turned up this geeky site that lists several options for transferring music, including a listing of several third party vendors: http://www.ilounge.c...od-to-computer/ Lots of information there, but I skipped to the third party section after a few minutes on the first two pages.

Edit: Just downloaded and installed the above app. It works great! (Although the trial version is limited to 100 songs.) I'm sure the other programs listed on the above site work just as well, but I can confirm that this one works as advertised. It costs $19.95 to purchase the full version.

Second Edit: I kept digging, and found this article that appears to explain how to do the same thing, and costs nothing! Of course, YMMV.

Patty...have you tried this yet?

Nope. It's a back burner project. I don't really need to update my iPod right now.

I tried it. I got my iPod music copied onto my desktop, off my iPod, alright. Those bastards have hidden files and these directions let you get to them, with all your music that is hidden. Trouble is, I can't get it into my iTunes library. It says I can just insert the new folder into library--Music but it's not working for me. I'll try again later.

Time to get going so I can go ride the ElliptiGO. Thanks for the Gene.

After several maddening attempts to call MadCatz.com technical support over the last two days and being on hole for 52 minutes before the first call dropped and over 40 minutes when the second call dropped I tried again early today and could not get through. So I called Sony PS3 Support and she told me that this was NOT possible, so I returned the cable to Game Stop for a refund.

I then found a PS3 blog that states that one can go from the PS3 HDMI port to a conversion cable to DVI (for HD Video only). I found such a cable on www.monoprice.com
and did a live chat with their TS and he claimed that it will work for 1080i and that if I use the OEM Sony cable for the audio feed (only) that will work.

The easy solution would be to upgrade our Samsung DLP TV but being unemployed and not old enough for retirement benefits yet that is NOT in our budget.

Yes, I have modified a TV table with a 24" 2X4 screwed to the bottom of one side to provide stability from the G Force wheel that was causing the table to actually move before.

Tonight, I drove the Canadian GP as Mark Webber and started in fifth on the grid and managed to finish in fifth place as well without crashing and I have brought my lap times down to within six seconds of Rubens Barrichello's lap record set back in 2004. So I am making progress with learning how the F1 2011 simulation works at the Montreal Circuit. Once I get this dialed in, I will start moving up in the progression of car set up and switching off the automatic transmission and make the change to the paddle shifters, etc.

It is a good reminder of just how busy an modern day F1 driver is in the cockpit with all of the buttons on those $20 K + steering wheels. There is a lot going on, in addition to driving around the circuit at maximum velocity.

I posted in the "Official PS3 Tread" on this site. I am still having problems with interfacing my PS3 to Component 3 to obtain 1080i resolution. It seems that I am caught in a loop about this issue.

I have finally taken a picture of my Logitech G27 setup. It really is nothing special.

Thank you.

I have gotten by with modifying a TV table by mounting a 24" 2 X 4 on the the far side of the table to provide some elevation as well as stability to the TV table, as the G Force wheel was causing the TV table to rotate beneath it. Some foam "shelf liner" underneath the pedals have provided some stability there to help prevent them from moving around.

I have gotten "brave" enough to enable the paddle shifters in the F1 2011 simulation (which I have to say is pretty realistic and cool) and after running lots of practice laps to learn the Montreal track I ran a race as Webber where I started in fifth and managed to finish in fifth and earn 10 points.

I have to state that I am impressed with how realistic the F1 2011 "game" is. While doing practice at Monaco, the exhaust note echoes through the tunnel and after crashing on the part of the circuit by the swimming pool I was in first gear and could actually hear the sea gulls chirping.

I have much more practice to go before I am ready for a "full race weekend".

Looks like great fun; I thought about doing a setup like that a few years back but never did.
