Getting music from iTunes to your G1
I wanted to export all my music from iTunes to my G1, but I wanted to maintain the folder structure like this:
Artist\Album\TrackName.mp3
Couldn’t find anything on Google so here’s some C# code to get it done. Remember to add a reference to iTunesLib (Add Reference / COM).
1: private static class ITunesExporter{
2: public static void Export(string playlistName, string path) {
3: iTunesAppClass iTunes = new iTunesAppClass();
4:
5: foreach (IITPlaylist playlist in iTunes.LibrarySource.Playlists) {
6: if (playlist.Name == playlistName) {
7: foreach (IITTrack track in playlist.Tracks) {
8: if (track.Kind == ITTrackKind.ITTrackKindFile) {
9: IITFileOrCDTrack file = (IITFileOrCDTrack)track;
10: string extension = Path.GetExtension(file.Location);
11: string newPath = ITunesExporter.createValidFileName(path, file.Artist, file.Album, file.Name, extension);
12: string newDirectoryName = Path.GetDirectoryName(newPath);
13: Directory.CreateDirectory(newDirectoryName);
14:
15: if (File.Exists(newPath) == false) {
16: File.Copy(file.Location, newPath);
17: }
18: }
19: }
20: }
21: }
22: }
23: private static string createValidFileName(string exportPath, string artist, string album, string track, string extension) {
24: artist = ITunesExporter.removeInvalidFileNameCharacters(artist);
25: album = ITunesExporter.removeInvalidFileNameCharacters(album);
26: track = ITunesExporter.removeInvalidFileNameCharacters(track);
27:
28: string filePath = exportPath;
29: filePath = Path.Combine(filePath, artist);
30: filePath = Path.Combine(filePath, album);
31: filePath = Path.Combine(filePath, track);
32: filePath = Path.ChangeExtension(filePath, extension);
33: return filePath;
34: }
35: private static string removeInvalidFileNameCharacters(string str) {
36: char[] chars = Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars();
37: foreach (char c in chars) {
38: str = str.Replace(c.ToString(), null);
39: }
40: return str;
41: }
42: }
You can use the code like this:
1: ITunesExporter.Export("Phone", @"D:\Music");
”Phone” is the playlist name and “D:\Music” is the path that the files will be exported to.
If anyone want’s to recode it to use the iTunes XML file please post the code! (I am to lazy).

Cellphone Radar Crap
It isn't really a scam, because they don't actually say it is a cell phone radar, but it doesn't do the shit you would expect it to do.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the file you download is a stupid little animated GIF!
