This open source iTunes plugin adds functionality that I have been looking for a long while - notification of the track currently being played through a small popup window that automatically disappears after a short period of time.

On this note, do you know of any way to convert a windows audio file to an Ipod-compatible file? I have tons of songs I "obtained" online over the past few years but I can't play many on my iPod because they are windows media files. Just asking because I saw your ITunes post.

from iTunes' "Hot Tips":

In iTunes for Windows, you can convert your unprotected WMA files to AAC files (or whatever file format is chosen in the Importing pane of iTunes Preferences) without changing the original WMA file. Simply drag the WMA files into your library in iTunes and iTunes does the grunt work, converting them for you. Windows Media Player 9 or later must be installed to convert unprotected WMA files. Protected WMA files cannot be converted.

Converting files in this way (from WMA to AAC or MP3) is called "transcoding" and will probably result in a loss of audio quality.
