I just bought some apple dvd-r will get it next week will let you know what it is like. It was £35 delivered for a 25 spindle better than the £45 apple charge but a little cheaper neverless.
Thanks Luke but i managed to find mine buried under a heap of clothes lol, forgot i had backed them up, cheers though.
By the way what is the resolution for wallpaper on a 15inch macbook pro i am wanting to make a wallpaper, but when i use any 1024 x 768 they are blurry and do not fit nicely centered?
Thanks

i believe the resolution is 1680/1050 but im not sure right now im using a 20" display, but it should work.
One thing to be considered is its not just resolution that matters, the actual size of the image makes a difference. you can have a tiny pic with a very high resolution, or a large pic with a low resolution, its just gota be right overall

Ok nice one thanks. Also i have alot of songs i want to put into itunes so i labelled them all individually like so:
1 - Artist - Song
Right up to:
94 - Artist - Song
Then i dragged the folder into itunes as usual but instead of the songs being labelled as above they must be tagged and do not show up as i labelled them, is there anyway around this without renaming them all again once there in itunes or some kind of software that shows how they have been tagged?

There's some Applescripts that will do the job for you here:

I've definately seen one that can add MP3 tag data from filenames, but I can't remember which one it was.

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting an iMac or MBP, when the new Core 2 Duo processors come out, but I was just wondering, will my PC speaker system connected throught the headphone socket on ewither of the baove, play with surround sound, or am i gonna have to buy an optical compatible speaker system for the Mac?
Cheers

your gonna need an optical cable as normal sound is just stereo..
@ Jools..
im sure ive asked this before but not sure... can you get any kind of Mp3 renamer that connects to the CBBD?
i get a lot of cds that arent named and im fed up of renaming them myself!
EDIT: found a few but none of them connect to the CDDB...
that was the whole idea so i dont have to type!
cheers

ok heres my story
i just put a powermac G4 dual 500mhz on layby for 700 bucks (225 GBP) with a 17inch studio cinema display thingy (the old ones).
its got 512 of ram but i want more, i dont know how to get more though.
its only got a combo drive and i want a superdive for it so i need some help there.
the guy in the store said he could put it all in for me but itll end up costing me like 300 bucks more.
i just need to know what i should buy and i can install it all myself.
also can i run tiger on it?
and also is it airport ready?

rite, i think i can help here as I had one of the old powermacs and dibbled in them (picked 2 up for £50 once lol)
rite, putting in wirless is bad for you, it will cost about $150 ecause the old cards are very expensive, I think it would raise the final price by 50 or so
id sell the screen seperatly, you will get more for it
upgrade the drive to a dvd rw, that shoudl cost about $50 and will make it much more appealing
if you can upgrade your os to the latest one, it should be able to handle mac os 10.4.6
upgrade the ram to 51mb or 1gb it will increase the final sales price and is cheap (check what kind you want, genrally if you look what you got you can just install a identicle chip) it probally wont take more then 1gb of ram
i recomend buying the bits then fitting them yourself, it will lower costs and is easy to do

Oops! See I've missed a few posts! Here goes:
application that can change lowercase letters/text into uppercase
For filenames: http://www.petermaurer.de/nasi.php?section=filelist
For text files: http://www.tex-edit.com/texeditx.html
are any dvd burners compatible in macs?
Yes, of course! Any IDE one is, but Pioneers are best. DVR-111D is latest
can you get any kind of Mp3 renamer that connects to the CBBD?
These ones works with FreeDB, not CDDB:
