Converting from iTunes to Banshee

itunes is great, don't get me wrong, but I use linux at home 99.99% of the time.  Lately all I boot into windows for on my main rig is to sync my ipod with itunes.  I already have the songs rated and smart playlists and straight playlists setup, it seems I'm married to itunes.  I really like Banshee and have my whole library in there as well, just no ratings or playlists.  I know I can sync my ipod with Banshee but without all the other stuff, it's pointless. I knew someone must have had the same dilemma I did when it came to switching, so I did a google search and came across this wonderful post By Andrew Sterling Hanenkamp Converting from iTunes to Banshee - Contentment. I'm running the perl script right now to convert my itunes library to Banshee, then I'll swiftly recreate my smart playlists, and be on my way. EDIT: Looks like I jumped the shark, New in Banshee 1.5.2 itunes Import.

Grandma Is Proud of your Spelling Crawford

dear Crawford, I am proud of you for your interest in the spelling bee.  I think it is fun.  I tried to look up some words on the Slavic list this morning, and some of them are not even shown in my dictionary!  They are indeed hard words to spell, but I'm sure we can improve our skills and they will help us throughout our lives.  Have you started the book I gave you for Christmas?  I am thrilled that you are enjoying the game.  See you later today.  Grandma
