Eug Wanker... you are full of crap... I've cut out three of these templates and the volume doesn't work, there aren't any ear buds, the scroll wheel feels like paper, and I crushed the first two when I placed them in my pocket. I also haven't figured out how to connect it to my G4 tower to download my playlists... If anyone can help a brother out...

you have to look for the dock cutout to get it so sync with your g4. as far as the earbuds go- any tin can and string will do. youre on your own with the volume tho. i cant get mine to work either.

Call me cynical, but I don't think the guy who made it was really expecting many people to cut it out and fold it up!

I cut this out, pasted it together, used the suggested string h/phones & d/loaded Pat Metheny's 'Zero Tolerance for Silence'
Thanks again Eug Wanker this cute device makes for a real improvement in sound quality. A far better audio experience than the original recording.
I'm now going to add 'Best of Eric Clapton' to see if a similar benefit can be obtained.
I think you have a marketable product here!

You're just dense. I figured it out and so did hagheid and a few others. Here's a pic of it booting up:



Anyways, here are some good iTMS songs for this machine.

Imaginary Guitars
The Sound of Silence
It's the Unreal Thing
Songs for the Deaf

It's so beautiful... thanks Eug! Like the others, I can't figure out the volume thing, but I did get Solitaire working.
