Win a 200-CD conversion from Ripstyles, plus a discount for everyone
So if you're looking to ditch the CDs when you move into the dorm but don't have the time or inclination to rip them yourself, why not take a look at Ripstyles? They were kind enough to offer today's prize: 200 CDs in their Premiere Stylizing service can be ripped for free (and they'll give you a deal if you want to rip more).But if you don't win the prize, fear not. They are also offering a 10% discount off all their CD conversion services, as well as their Ripserver, by simply using the promo code "TUAW" (no quotes). Not bad, considering it can take hours to rip hundreds of discs. That's time you could spend studying!As usual, read the rules below.

Control iTunes from your Dock
Jonathan from Ripstyles.com sent along this easy little pack of apps, just like Dockables, that can be used to control iTunes from your Dock if you so choose. He confides in us that it wasn't that hard to put together ("just a few Applescripts"), and yes, it's true that there are now about five million ways to control iTunes out there, but what the heck, here's one more, just in case you haven't found your sweet spot yet.Actually, it would be awesome to control iTunes using Speakable Items! Has anyone done that yet? Then, you could make two recordings in Garageband that said "next track" and "previous track," import them into iTunes, and iTunes could control itself! Trippy!
