Sorry I know nothing about iTunes but can't you just burn the tracks to an Audio CD (which converts them to another format) which would then play on most CD players? That's how I would do it in WMP. The link I posted quotes the following about converting to MP3 Because the iTunes tracks...

Maybe a solution here... http://www.askbobrankin.com/convert_itunes_to_mp3_format.html But you may lose some of the sound quality

I think that's the point of iTunes - you can only play it on an Ipod. I'm sure there are ways of converting / playing it on other media but wouldn't that be illegal? :wink:

Would you say the following website is a tad misleading in the items it lists as notifiable? http://www.partp.co.uk/consumer/consumer_diy.asp

Can a broken earth wire within 2.5mm T&E cable be choc-blocked and buried in a plaster wall? Thanks

So I'll just put all the reds together.....(joke!!) :lol: Thanks for the info

I am replacing an outside light (lantern with 100w bulb) and have found two cables terminating at the back of the light into choc block. Is there an accepted method for this? I was expecting the connections for circuit and switch to be made in a junction box and then a single cable taken to the...

You can download an older (free) version of RealPlayer from http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=real I think the versions before RealOne Player were totally free, they're now trying to get you to subscribe.

Sorry - the fuse has been removed. So it's an FCU with the fuse missing and it's not powering anything! Is it allowed to be fixed to the skirting at floor level?

While removing a cupboard I have uncovered a switched FCU with no fuse (not sure what it's called then). It's attached to the skirting board and inside is a single 2.5mm² cable (bare earth) which when tested with a neon screwdriver is live. The cable appears from below the floor so I've not been...

Cheers for the replies. Now I know why the person I bought the house from left very clear instructions on how to relight the boiler :(

It was serviced about 3 years ago and needed a new thermocouple. When you look through the inspection window you can see the pilot light being moved by the wind. So is the pilot light being blown out or is something being triggered to shut the boiler down? Because I live in an area of...

And also a problem with my boiler... It's a vintage Glow-Worm Spacesaver and is wall mounted on the gable-end of a terraced house. Whenever there is an easterly wind (the coldest one) the boiler cuts out. It will re-light and fire up again without any problems until the next gust of wind...

Is that a recommendation / best practice or a requirement? Reading my manual for a soon-to-be-delivered double oven it specifies a minimum of 6mm T&E and connection to a cooker control unit. No mention of heat-resistant cable or a cooker connection plate. To connect to a ccu: 'Feed the...
