Memorabilia from Sergio Leone films

I'm a big fan of Sergio Leone, and am curious to know if any memorabilia exists from his westerns. Specifically, the poncho, any of the hats, revolvers, and gun belts. If any does exist, are there any museums where I might go to see it?

Ipods and mp3 players

I have an Ipod right now but want to get an mp3 player. Is there anyway I can keep my songs from the ipod and transfer them to the mp3 player? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.119.61.7 (talk) 02:27, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

If these songs are from the iTunes Store and are not the iTunes Plus songs then no, probably not. Otherwise you can convert them to a format many players can use (MP3 or WMA or something) if they aren't in that format already, using a program like dbpoweramp.

Officially, transferring songs is a one-way process, i.e. computer to iPod not the other way around. It's set up this way to discourage file sharing. However, there are ways round the problem. If you're lucky enough to be a Mac user, you can use Senuti to transfer your songs from the iPod to your Mac, from where you can transfer them onto your new mp3 player. I imagine there must be something similar for PCs, but I don't know what it is. --Richardrj ^{talk email} 09:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Winamp can do it with most of the older iPods if you right click on the file and click "copy to local library TheGreatZorko (talk) 10:15, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Just turn on "show hidden folders" in Windows, and you can find your songs pretty quick from there. They are all renamed with silly 4-letter filenames, but I think you can figure it out. 206.252.74.48 (talk) 13:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I just want to point out that an iPod is a brand of mp3 player. Useight (talk) 18:22, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Simon Cowell's Accent

What kind of English accent does Simon Cowell of American Idol have? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Czmtzc (talk • contribs) 02:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

According to this site, he speaks with a Southern English accent, a form of Received Pronunciation, with a hint of Estuary English. ќמшמφטтгמ^torque 05:14, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

British Saxophone Police Chase Tune

Hi,

My name is Derek. I know that the title sounds a little weird but I can't think of any other word for it.

You know in those old English/British movies where the police chase after the bad guy? There's always this one tune that pops up and starts playing. I'm pretty sure that it's a saxophone or a clarinet that plays it... I was just wondering if you knew what that tune is. I've asked everyone I know and now it's driving me crazy. And it seems that no matter where I search on the internet or my library, I'm just not asking the right question to find it...

So, if you could, please, help me:) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.101.33.93 (talk) 17:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I think you may mean Yakety Sax, as famously used by Benny Hill. DJ Clayworth (talk) 18:14, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Carol of the Bells

Was Carol of the Bells, or music similar to, in the original Psycho? Perhaps as the credits were rolling? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebbiesgrannie (talk • contribs) 19:30, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Unknown song

This is a continuation of a previous question from the language desk. An individual on that desk has suggested that this song is sung in the Russian language. Can anyone give me any more information? I am looking for any info that can identify the song, the artist, or even just some of the lyrics. Please let me know if you have a lead. Thanks in advance.

It is Russian but I can only make out enough words to identify the language, not enough to get the sense of the meaning. Sorry. -- JackofOz (talk) 22:44, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
