iPhone apps S/D

bummed to find that simplify was purchased by google and is now dead for the iphone. any other good ways to stream your itunes library to your iphone?

If you've got AirFoil on your computer then Airfoil Speakers will do it.

Doesn't apple's remote app do that? Or are you looking for something else/more?

i thought the remote just controlled itunes playing on the computer? can you set it up to stream to the phone and bypass the computer speakers?

i ask mainly because i moved to a new loft and the acoustics are all messed up. even though i work right next to the computer, that sound is terrible. i want to send that sound to a home theatre system that has speakers in every room.

Friend introduced me to Epic Win, which is pretty funny (it's $2.99). It's basically a rolling to-do list, in the form of a quest game. Every time you cross something off the list, you get points and can level-up your character or whatever. Silly, but possibly useful.

With remote you can control an iTunes library thats connected to AirTunes, so you'd be able to stream thataway.

yeah, i'm kinda looking to not buy more apple shit. though i guess airtunes might also extend my wireless network to my living room. anyone ever use that? is it just as easy as plugging it in in a new room? my xbox doesn't get the best wireless connection in the living room.

dude airtunes isn't airport express

it's a program, that jacks audio and sends it something on yr wireless network

cf i use it so to route movie audio to my stereo

lol bd at langauge

will try epic win and report back

airtunes is an apple thing, though, and it is a feature w/ apple express.

oh whoops i was thinking of AirFoil

YEAH WHOOPS

apparently you can use airfoil with an iphone too. downloading now and will test it out.

EpicWin will be on sale this weekend @ 99c

I want to be skeptical, cause man is that some cutesy shit, but I honestly think that might improve my life a bit. Will buy.

I don't even use AirTunes or AirPort. Granted, I'm on a PC, but Remote works fine with my regular ol' wireless router.

StreamToMe is what you're looking for: http://projectswithlove.com/streamtome/
It's an iPhone/Pad app which connects to a Windows/Mac desktop app (ServeToMe).
It streams any format of music, video, photos, iTunes playlists etc. to your device.
It costs $2.99 and once you've figured out a few quirks, it's very very awesome.

What's the streaming radius? I assume the program only works when the computer and iPhone are near each other?

It works over the wifi network.

You're possibly thinking of bluetooth?

So can I stream something to my phone in another state (assuming I left my computer on and running at home)?

Or do they have to be sharing the same wifi connection?

is anyone else's NYTimes app totally fucked recently? Ever since the upgrade to OS4, it crashes the first time you load it, and usually the 2nd, 3rd and 4th times too. I have a 3GS running OS4.

i think mine is fine tho i don't use it often

apple putting its weight in with fox news

what's with this new ugly shadow gradient on the unlock screen

I am not seeing that. Maybe bc my desktop background is dark.

Looks like the Groupon app will be useful, as it allows you to redeem the Groupon paperlessly.

Just got Find iPhone. Havent tried it yet and hope I never actually need it.

I've used find my phone many times when I can't find my phone at home. You can make it beep which makes it pretty easy to track down.

Jenny also used it to track me when I was running the marathon.

Ha. Find husband.

FM3 Buddha Machine for FREE

niiiice

Also just got the WFMU app I didn't realize existed. What other essential free music apps should I get?

My friend runs Jelli, which has a cool app for crowdsourced music.

i can't download anything, it always says "this item is being modified." anyone else get that?

yep

what should i do

fmu has an app? didn't apple just announce that single-station apps are verboten?

FMU IS NOT A "SINGLE-STATION" IT IS A WAY OF LIFE

The FMU app has been around for over a year, maybe it was grandfathered in. also, Stevie D otm

Yah, the FMU app is terrific. Thought everyone was aware of it (it's on WFMU's home page).

Also recommended: East Village Radio's app.

That FM3 buddha box is nice but honestly a lesser app compared to the other one on there... tempting at $2.99 but it looks like the holy grail of buddha boxology.

what other one??

search "Buddha" and it comes up. tempted to get it tbh

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/buddha-box-meditation-timer/id309046852?mt=8

they are different things. Does this other one actually have sounds for meditation. The original one is a boring implementation of the physical box, which is as much for meditation as it is for people who like Merzbow.

Well yes, but how would you suggest making it an interesting implementation of the original box?

The original box lets you change the pitch/speed of the loops.

my buddha machine never let me change pitch or anything?
