Since iTunes Library keeps crashing occasionally I was searching for a way to preserve all metadata. The tags are safely stored inside the files. Only the rating is not. That's what my script does - it backups the rating into the (at least for me) useless BPM-Tag.<br> It's also an script for restoring into rating included. You may [[Media:BackupRatingToBPMTagAppleScript0001.zip]] the scripts here. They're free! (Best installed at <tt><nowiki>/Library/iTunes/Scripts/</nowiki></tt>) ||

Mount-O-Matic was originally planned as a Cocoa Application but it turned out to be a easy task in [http://www.cocoa-co.de/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?AppleScript AppleScript]. It's purpose is to automatically mount [[EtherShare]], Netatalk or Mac OS X Server volumes. You may ask why this is necessary! That's easy '''Since Chooser is gone, there's no easy way to do this''', '''Volumes with Umlauts in it can't be mounted with Startup Items''', '''For every server a window is opened (nasty)'''.

Mac Uptime is a simple program to display the time since the last reboot. On various Unixes this is called "uptime". You may also copy-paste uptimes to mails so you may impress your friends how long your Mac is up. You may also automate this by using [[AppleScript]]. New in the PPC version is the widely configurable display. It's Freeware, so don't hesitate to [[Media:MacUptimePPC.1.210.sit]]  it. There's also a [[Media:MacUptime0.015bv.cpt]] 68K Version available.
