Earlier today I realized that something had happened with my iPhone that wouldn’t let me drag and drop certain tracks to the device. I was perplexed, but couldn’t for the life of me figure out what I did.
Apparently you can turn off this ability by clicking on the check box to the right. I guess if you’re taking advantage of the syncing playlist option you wouldn’t really need to manually manage your iPod playlists. I thought I would pass this along just in case you’re having the same issue that I was. I’m not sure if this turned off by itself or if I managed to accidentally turn it off. My iTunes has been acting up lately. Just last week I had to reimport all of my albums because random albums were disappearing from the iTunes library. They would still be in my filesystem, just nowhere in the itunes listing. I should probably reinstall leopard. It’s about that time again!

Well, I'm pretty much addicted to all things Apple, and Twitter. That's probably all you really need to know. If I'm not posting here, I'm probably wasting time on Twitter.
