for use on non-DRM'd files (one that can do both is fine... it just isn't what I'm going to use it for) must transfer meta data correctly (ID3 tags) batch would be great, point it at a folder structure and let it run I've tried a couple, but so far I haven't found a single free one that works well.

Renting vs. Buying

Posted on April 24th

I own a lot of Xbox and Xbox 360 games... some good, some bad... but the hit/miss ratio is much better for all my 360 games, mostly because of game renting. Starting around the time the 360 launched, I signed up for Gamefly and I've alternated between the two and three game plans. It is […]

Kent Sharkey's been a busy guy

Posted on April 5th

Kent's blog is back online and in one of his recent posts he updates us on all the projects he's been working since he left Microsoft (where we were both working at MSDN as content strategists)... tons of cool stuff, definitely worth reading through and following some links. […]
