I like having mp3 versions of all my songs, but I have many of them in AAC format.

However, if you have duplicate songs in your iTunes library, there is a free utility called Meta-iPod that can help you remove duplicates.

This utility also allows you to copy songs from your iPod back into iTunes (in case you accidently lost the songs on your PC/MAC).  It can also find all the songs in your iTunes library that are not found on your computer.

It has more features and I’m going to try it soon.  If you try it, let me know what you think.

Have you wanted to leave a voicemail message for someone on their cell phone, but want to skip over their greeting.  If you know their cellular carrier, you can call their number and when you start to hear their greeting, press the following key.

AT&T: press #
Sprint: press 1
T-Mobile: press #
Verizon: press *

How to send a text message from email…

From any email program, or webmail site, you can send an email to a mobile phone.  The email would become an SMS text message on the recipient’s phone.  The major cell carriers have email address equivalents for their subscribers.  The trick is to keep the email short, both the subject line, and the body or content.

So if you want to send George a text message from your email account, and George is on AT&T, you would send the email to his phonenumber@txt.att.net 

The phonenumber below is 10 digits without the dashes e.g. 2165551234@txt.att.net.

AT&T: phonenumber@txt.att.net
Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com
Virgin: phonenumber@vmobl.com
Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com

A friend recommended a great phone service from Google called GrandCentral.  The service gives you a free phone number that you may give out to your friends, families, and people you owe money to.

Then when that phone number rings, it will call your cell, home, and work phone simultaneously.  That way, no matter where you are, you can get a call. 

The service offers voicemail account, with online access to your messages.  You can also screen your calls.  Really cool.  To learn more, visit…
