Sci-Fi Hi-Fi

While I’m on the subject of “The Great PodKit Refactoring,” I wanted to take a moment to ask a favor of those of you with iPods. You see, my goal is to raise PodKit’s performance on large database files to iTunes levels, but my current test database (on my own iPod) maxes out around 2,300 songs. In order to really give PodKit a workout, I need much larger database files!

So, if I could trouble some of you musical packrats to send me your iPod database files, I would really appreciate it. You can extract the database file from your iPod using an ancient technique I have written out here (make sure your iPod is in FireWire disk mode first). Then simply email it to me at the address listed further down in the page (I don’t want to write it out here for fear of Spam!).

Thanks! Oh—and I promise not to tell anyone about your extensive NSYNC collection!
