New and improved Safari with tabs and auto-complete.

Ooo, autocomplete... just the feature I've been waiting for!

two weeks pass...

New iPods, 10Gb 15Gb 30Fb, with USB 2.0 and firewire and a docking station. No sound in grrrr.

also Apple music download service

- $0.99 per song
- Can use your music for iPhoto etc...
- If you buy a new Mac, you need to deauthorize one and reauthorize another
- Play your music on up to 3 Macs.
- Put your music on an unlimited # of iPods
- Playlist must be modified for every 10 burns.
- 200,000 tracks, unlimited CD burn for personal use.
- Previews
- 128 kpbs AAC quality, every song

Question is would you use it. Its pretty open although you'relimited to burning out an album as the people intended 10 times, which is pretty generous. How many independents are going to sign up though?

Also there is now no differentiation between windows and Mac versions of the IPod.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 April 2003 16:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

A + B + C = half the price, with recording capabilities to boot!

Yes but Mark they aren't Apple products. See thread title. You might as well tell a thirty-year Harley rider to check our your new Gold Wing.

Well the iTunes music store isn't UK friendly yet. Browsing through it it keeps giving me errors, not a good start. Conceivably I could use it for jazz stuff but I would guess that the obscurer regions of the back catalogues will not be up there.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 April 2003 17:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

The top song and album downloads lists might conceivablky give and indication of how awful apple employee's music taste is. The top 3 tunes are U2 and there's a lot of sheryl crow too.

First impressions, it isn't great.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 April 2003 17:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

New ipods, tho'! ohmygodohmygodohmygod

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 28 April 2003 17:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

any info re: the onboard playlist function? i am thinking it's part of the new software and hoping the old ipods will gain this function with the 1.3 upgrade (?)

― ron (ron), Monday, 28 April 2003 19:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

There is a 1.3 update availible from software update, mac, or download from the site, PC.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 April 2003 19:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

apparently they are uploading more tunes as fast as they can get permission etc. I hope some indies sign on. Frankly I don't give a shit what the top ten are for the first month or so, because as long as some people out there find what they want and make it a profitable business model, that means it has more of a chance of becoming something I'm going to want to use. 128k AAC is something I sort of worry about, but it's not as if I'm going to be downloading audiophile film scores either. I'm very very excited.

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

If it works well this will solve most of my hip-hop problems once and for all e.g. rap seems to have one of the worst s/n ratios on album content and they don't put out any good compilations - now I can just go grab all the singles (and SAMPLE them for 37 seconds first just to be sure!) and save myself a lot of time and money.

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

haha 'my hip hop problems'

I need an iPod and a new Mac PRONTO, I have actually been retuning my methods of music purchases in the past several months in preparation for iTunes and the iPod. Okay i'm done really.

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

ed- pc where?

fr apple: Download the iPod Software 1.3 Updater (5.2MB)
Select the download for your platform (Windows version available early May):

― ron (ron), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Y'all know what I do like is them there docking port for the iPod...

― jm (jtm), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

yup. sure do.

I gots to get me one of those 15gb fellers...

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sorry, ron, you'll have to wait unfortunately.

I'm pissed that there's no date set for when the service will be availible in the UK. I functions well and the previews are good. It needs a hell of a lot more catalogue, (1 Sun Ra album just ain't going to cut it), Apple need to work at picking up some large independents.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeh, thought so but wonered if you'd uncovered a secret hiding spot :-)

― ron (ron), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

I liked the one-giant-wheel look of the old iPods better, but they're still neato. I love mine.

― Sean (Sean), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

My new iTunes tells me I can assign images to songs. Why would I want to do this????

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

Because it's fuckin' COOL.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

This is true. These words should be Steve Jobs' epitaph.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

surely, 'Insanely Great'. Although he hasn't said that for some time.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 April 2003 21:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

one month passes...

It is fuckin' cool. Also, Apple does it for you automatically whenever you buy a track from its store. Between the visualizer and the album cover art, I can't stay away from my G4. Help!

i got one of the 12" powerbooks last week. boo ya ... it's rad. i'm sick.

The rumour sites are going bonkers mental with speculation about monday.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 16:43 (twenty years ago) link

What's happeneing Monday?

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 16:45 (twenty years ago) link

I predict it will start just after Sunday finishes.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 16:45 (twenty years ago) link

it's the delayed Apple Worldwide Developer Conference. Steve jobs is giving a keynote, launching OS X 10.3 'Panther' to developers and rumoured to feature IBM PPC 970 (Power4 derived 64bit dual core chip) based machines running OS X 10.2.7 'Smeagol'.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 16:52 (twenty years ago) link

That's a lust object?

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:02 (twenty years ago) link

New case design rumoured too.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:18 (twenty years ago) link

"Smeagol"?

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:23 (twenty years ago) link

yeah, there has been much speculation over that one because all the point upgrades to jaguar have had colours as codenames.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:24 (twenty years ago) link

New case design? The goddamn thing had better walk and talk.

Or fly...

― jm (jtm), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:28 (twenty years ago) link

But what the hell does "smeagol" mean?

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:35 (twenty years ago) link

did you see lotr?

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:50 (twenty years ago) link

Well, no, of course not.

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:51 (twenty years ago) link

I did see the South Park parody of LotR, though.

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:51 (twenty years ago) link

I hope the rumours are true and Macs start to finally start to play catch up to PCs - in terms of hardware power that is. OSX is a now at a mature stage, and is definitly the best looking OS, but has been kept shackled by very weak hardware.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 18:33 (twenty years ago) link

Well, no, of course not.

I disown you.

"You shall not paaaaaaahhhhhhh...."

After waiting months and months for them to release a new 15" laptop I must say that if they don't roll it out next week I'm getting a PC. Being beholden to Microsoft = at least I can share shit with the rest of Earth. Being beholden to Apple = at least I don't have to worry about Win32 virii??? but I'm out $3k for a decent machine! and I had to wait seven months for it! Fuck you!

Obviously I did not have a satisfying lunch today and am extremely agitated

― Millar (Millar), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 19:12 (twenty years ago) link

Ned, you don't own me. I'm not just one of your little toys. Just remember that: You don't own me. Don't say I can't go with other boys.

Anyway, that said: No, I'm sorry, I tried to read the Hobbit when I was a kid and didn't get into it; I am not interested in seeing the movies before reading the books but I also doubt I'll get around to reading the books anytime soon. I have read some about the creation of the various languages in the books and that was interesting...

So anyway. The "of course not" wasn't so much hobbit-hatin' as it was a reflection on the fact that I almost never see movies.

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 19:16 (twenty years ago) link

More on topic, I did mention to you all that my bf got one of those 17" fuckers, right? The thing is huge. It's completely ridiculous.

The glowing keyboard is pretty cool, though.

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 19:16 (twenty years ago) link

The glowing keyboard is pretty cool, though.

Dude, this so should have said "his mac is pretty cool too"

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 19:19 (twenty years ago) link

I was in an Apple store today & noticed the enormity of those 17" babies. Weirdly the keyboard is the same size as the smaller models, which to me would defeat one of the purposes of an atlas-sized laptop.
