Wish I could help you. Obviously if you still have the CD, you can make sure to combine them from the start. Otherwise, I did see some software options when I searched before, but I found the solution I posted about before resorting to downloading any apps. Good luck!

Utah?! No, they actually have one of the easier PAC-12 schedules, since they miss both Oregon and Stanford in their inaugural season.

Very wise advice. Thank you for sharing this! Now I just need to see which of the list of things I want to try or give up for the next 30 days…..sleep (more or less – hahaha) or finish one of my 1001 projects by the end of the 30 days…. I like #2 better; perhaps one finished project will encourage me to finish the remainer 1000. Have a good rest of your 30 days.

Thanks, Scott! I, too, had the same problem with suddenly not being able to join tracks when importing books on CD. Your simple trick worked perfectly. I hope the AppleCare staff has read your post! And, as a librarian, I want to put in a good word for libraries, where you can not only find a large selection of books on CD but also download digital audio books from their websites directly to your mobile device.

Thank you SO much. While I was importing an audiobook, this only happened on some of the CD’s. I would NEVER have figured this out by myself. You are a wizard!!

Suck it up, things change. And “traditions” have to start somewhere.

While I was saddened to see Camp T go, it was obvious that it wasn’t working for today’s football program.

Maroon and gold hasn’t changed, they simply added black. Most people don’t know, but grey was already one of the approved colors. If they occasionally wear a black helmet, I don’t think it’s a knock on tradition any more than wearing white (not a school color) is. I suspect that the dominate colors will remain maroon and gold, and I expect that we’ll see that borne out in the uniforms chosen for the vast majority of games. Black is likely a trend that will disappear over time any way.

Lets see..you the tenants of ASU have insulted tradition.. shut down Camp Tontozona…for a plastic bubble of sour air, separated Sparky from the spirit that ignited generations of young Sun Devils. Dare now to change the colors from maroon and gold to black and yellow?

Nike you should know better.

Your “Best Buy” color decision to sell out accommodates the utensil that belongs next to the silver tray of olives you have eaten stuffed with disappointment. Tradition doesn’t change color. It honor’s it. TMP LB ASU 1977.

Update from ASU:

TEMPE, Ariz.–Arizona State University and Sun Devil Athletics proudly announces that 72 student-athletes will graduate with their undergraduate degrees this week as part of spring and summer commencement ceremonies. Thirty percent of this year’s student-athletes graduated with honors: 11 Summa Cum Laude (3.80 to 4.00 GPA), 6 Magna Cum Laude (3.60 to 3.79 GPA) and 12 Cum Laude (3.40 to 3.59 GPA).

In the 2010-2011 school year, including the winter graduation term, there were 95 student-athlete graduates, six of whom graduated from the Honors College. ASU had a 76% graduation success rate with a goal of 80%. The Sun Devils had a 974 team average Academic Progress Rate (APR), second only to Stanford in the Pacific-10.

Well, it seems as though someone has posted a lengthy review on another site, spilling the beans. I’m happy that ASU has gotten some traction with this little marketing campaign.

I like some of the changes, but not others. This isn’t a minor change, however. And yes, black and the pitchfork will be playing dominant roles. I’m a little concerned about an updated Sparky, but I love the idea of having a uniform look across campus and sports.

I’m a little worried honestly but Nike does some cool stuff. Black??? Do they remember we’re in Arizona with HOT SUN??? Black absorbs heat? lol.
I do like what they did with Oregon’s new jerseys… they pop pretty good so I’m hopeful. ASU needs a shake-up… the new season ticket pricing is one but this is going to cause some issues next week… we’ll see!
Go Devils!
