Update: I have written an updated guide to tagging mp3 files. If you want to tidy up your iTunes collection then carry on reading, but if you only want to add ID3 tags to your files read the new guide.

HBO Clamping Down On Bittorrent Use
I’m not quite sure how they are tracking users, but HBO are sending nasty letters to bittorrent users who are downloading their programming. I have a sneaky suspicion that HBO, and maybe other media companies as well, are adding their own torrents to trap users.I’m not sure how users could avoid this. There [...]

Giganews Increase Binary Retention To 50 Days!
I Just received an email saying that Giganews have increased their binary retention to 50 days. I would love to know how much storage that requires. My ISP only has about 4 days retention and doesn’t cover a 1/3 of the groups Giga does but that still equates to Terabytes of storage.

The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) is taking its first action against five alleged file-sharers who it is claimed shared a total of 8,906 songs.
A further 60 alleged file-sharers have settled out of court in the UK, paying up to £6,500 each in compensation.

Research by The Leading Question discovered that regular downloaders of illegal music spend an average of £5.52 on legal music whereas other users spend an average of £1.27.
This comes as absolutely no surprise to me as I have always believed this. I genuinely believe that since I started downloading music I’ve actually spent more [...]

Symella: P2P Client For Series60
Symella is a new Gnutella P2P client for Symbian which only allows downloads.
If the UK moved to fixed rate data tariffs I might be interested in this, although I think it would kill my battery and I’m not sure if I would be so desperate to listen to a track that I would want to [...]
Studios Need To Synchronise TV Shows Globally
eirikso have posted a very funny cartoon strip about poor old Bob who has to resort to downloading his favourite show off the internet because he’s had enough of being weeks behind the U.S.
I have to admit that I also do this. As soon as my favourite shows are aired in the U.S. on [...]
