Say I wanted to fill the genre tags of my whole mp3 library automatically. Say I trusted the last.fm community enough to use the three most used tags for a certain song/album listed there (for example: New Order's Ceremony would get "80s" "new wave" and "post-punk"). Say I wanted to do this automatically. Say I had a Mac. How would I go about this? [more inside]

I have what is to me an extremely complex thing that I would like JavaScript on a webpage to do. It's related to this question I asked previously, but I've added a new complication. I understand that this may sound fairly customized. I have a feeling, though, that for someone who programs Javascript, these issues are probably both extremely common and extremely simple, which is why I'm asking here ... since perfecting this quirk could really help my efficiency.

When I import my 700 bookmarks into http://del.icio.us they are automatically set to "not shared." I understand this is to prevent spam, and I have been unable to find an alternative to manually setting each link to "share." Is there a solution I have overlooked? Or, is there a cooler/niftier alternative to del.icio.us that I should be using instead? Thank you.

I imported some mp3s into iTunes, searched for them in my music library and couldn't find them. I tried re-importing them: same thing. Finally, I found them in the podcast library. I don't want them there. How does iTunes decide to put a particular mp3 in the podcast library? I can't see any obvious tag that tells it to do this. What can I do to these mp3s to get to to show up in my main library?

Like many people, I have a "best of" directory on my web site where I keep various files I find on the net that I want to keep around in case the original host goes away. Right now it's just a raw directory of files, mostly with their original often cryptic filenames. I'd like some kind of drop-in file manager that would let me easily add descriptions and tags. Users could click on tags to narrow the listing to, say, just "flash toys" or "zero wing spinoffs".

So I'm template hacking my Blogger account and I've got a problem. The template tag that actually contains the body of my posts (< $blogitembody$>) forces a break both before and after it (Blogger template tags defined here). Thus, I can't format my posts so that I have both the contents of my post and the perm link on the same line (just like Kottke has done here). I have removed all the formatting html and CSS in my template and, no matter what I do, the forced break won't go away? Any hacks or work around ideas?
