iTunes "all unchecked tracks" Smart Playlist
iTunes makes it pretty easy to make a Smart Playlist for "all checked songs" -- not quite as easy as it should be, but pretty easy: make a smart playlist for all tracks that match any of the conditions "Artist contains A" and "Artist does not contain A" and check the "match only checked songs" option.
You can use that playlist to create an "all unchecked tracks" smart playlist; if you call that playlist "all checked", then create a new smart playlist with the criteria "Playlist is not all checked"; on this one you don't want the "Match only checked songs" option.
This may require iTunes 4.5. At least, I didn't figure it out till 4.5, and I'm hoping it's because the "playlist is not" option wasn't there before.
This is useful if you have an iPod and use the 'sync only checked tracks' option, and want to keep track of what tracks you have turned off.

iTunes/iPod "An unknown error occured (-36)"
While syncing an iPod, iTunes' error message "An unknown error occured (-36)" indicates an input/output error. In my case, it was while readin the source file; I don't know if the same error could indicate a write error.
If you happen to be watching while the error occurs, you can tell the problem file that way. If you're doing a long sync, though, who wants to keep watching?
In this case, fs_usage(1) comes in handy. If you run "sudo fs_usage -w iTunes > fs-out", you'll get a complete trace of all of iTunes' file activity. This script will parse the output, keeping track of all the file opens closes, printing out the last 28 bytes of the filenames of any files that have read errors.
Yes, it would be helpful if iTunes' error message told you what file had an I/O error. Or even that it was an I/O error.

Slam-Book
1. What time do you get up?
If left to my own devices, noonish. With a job, I try to move that earlier, but I'm really not very good at it.
2. If you could eat lunch with one person, who would it be?
Alan Turing
3. Gold or silver?
For myself, neither. On others, silver or white gold or platinum. Or stainless steel. Steel is very nice.
4. What are your favorite films?
These open-ended questions are hard.
5. What is/are your favorite TV shows?
At least for this one, I can check the PVRs.
- Buffy, The Vampire Slayer
- Newsradio
- Sports Night
- Monk
- The Daily Show
6. What is/are your favorite books?
Oh, please. The movie one was hard enough.
On all of these, the answers might be different tomorrow.
7. What did you have for breakfast?
Diet Coke.
On this one, the answer's always the same.
8. Who would you hate to be stuck in a room with?
Almost everyone. With few exceptions, there's a limit to how much time I can spend with people in one stretch. Socialization is hard.
9. What/who inspires you?
Bah.
10. Beach, City or Country?
City
11. Favorite ice cream?
Peppermint candy from Braum's.
Quarterback Crunch from Baskin Robins (at least in my memory -- I only had it once, something like 20 years ago).
12. Butter, plain or salted popcorn?
Butter and salt. and not popped in that canola shit (and especially not airpopped).
The CSPI can kiss my popcorn-, chinese-, mexican, italian-food eating ass.
13. Favorite color?
Green
14. What kind of car do you drive?
1994 Mazda Protege. The goals were 1. big enough to fit me and 2. reliable. It's pretty small, but oddly spacious, and #2 has been well met.
15. Favorite sandwich?
Schlotzskys deluxe original with no olives tomatoes or mustard with mayonaise and extra cheese.
Alas, after growing up never more than 5 minutes from a Schlotzsky's, for the past 6 years I've not lived within half an hour of one.
16. What characteristic do you despise?
Willful ignorance.
17. Favorite flower?
White calalillies. At least, I think that's what they're called. Spirally things.
18. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation where would you go?
Well, I guess I pretty much could, and I don't, so the real answer is 'nowhere'.
19. What color is your bathroom?
Reddish, I think.
20. Favorite brand of clothing?
When you're my size, the question isn't so much 'favorite' as 'available'. Harbor Bay, Repp's...
21. Where would you retire to?
Unlimited resources? New York City, maybe.
22. Favorite day of the week?
Saturday
23. What did you do for your last birthday?
Hmm. Nothing, as far as I can remember.
24. Where were you born?
Baptist Memorial Hospital, Oklahoma City, OK.
25. Favorite sport to watch?
Basketball
26. What fabric detergent do you use?
Tide or Ivory
27. Coke or Pepsi?
Diet Coke
28. Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Night owl
29. What is your shoe size?
13 1/2 or 14
30. Do you have any pets?
Two cats. The older one can't stand the younger one, alas.
31. Favorite sexual position?
On my ba...oh, you mean with another person? I don't remember.

iTunes Locked?
If iTunes exits in a particular unclean way, it may apparently leave you in a state where future startups will claim your "iTunes 4 Music Library file is locked". Neither Apple nor Google seem to have heard of this particular message before.
What appears to be the Right Way to recover from this: copy the 'iTunes 4 Music Library.xml' file out of Music/iTunes to somewhere safe; move or delete the 'iTunes 4 Music Library file'; start iTunes; import from the copied xml file.
Do not import from the xml file in place. If something goes even a little bit wrong (say, the fileserver where most of the files are currently isn't attached, leading it to think those files don't exist), it will still happily import he rest and create a new library file -- and a new xml file, erasing your old one.
If you find yourself in this situation, copying back the original library file, which used to be locked, may find happiness for you -- it did for me. Which seems to indicate the lockedness is an attribute of the file itself, not of any contents of the file. What kinds of file-system-level file locks survive reboots, though?
