good thing that bit in italics is bullshit

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 14:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Apparently this is live: http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/sep_2006/event/index.html

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 14:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't like the look of the URL

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Edgesuite is just an Akamai URL.

Don't admit your mistakes
(Do fix them next time)
same old...

thank fuck they're fixing some of these. iTunes will pull cover art now, and has an album view.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 16:30 (seventeen years ago) link

streamed, non-DVD quality movies for $13-15 bucks? Gee, thanks, I'll walk ten minutes to Best Buy and get it for the same.

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll get mine offof torrents, ta.

iTV looks cool tho -- wireless set-top box. And being able to sync different macs using yr ipod is top.

iPod now offers gapless playback

GRRR

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:10 (seventeen years ago) link

ALERT!!

iPods can now be used to move stuff from computer to computer!

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

iTV looks interesting if it means the Apple Store is getting HD content when it comes out.

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Will it have tivo functionality?

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm thrilled they went to the mini-style music extruded aluminum enclosure for the Nanos.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Jon: Apple sa "And if you’ve got iTunes Store purchases you’d like to move from one computer to another" ... I think the twats have limited it to songs downloaded from iTunes.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Multiple libraries tho: keep a small one on Laptop and full one on external HD. Sweet.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:40 (seventeen years ago) link

any news on whether gapless playback will be available as a software update for existing 5G ipods?

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 18:17 (seventeen years ago) link

will these new nanos include non-fucked up VBR playback? or is there an update for existing nanos?

ALERT!!

iPods can now be used to move stuff from computer to computer!

erm, you can do this already. Winamp + ml_ipod plugin = easy.

― boredom to the left, babylon to the right (fandango), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm probably missing the sarcasm there.

― boredom to the left, babylon to the right (fandango), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

sorry, kneejerking a bit. some of this is cool.

― boredom to the left, babylon to the right (fandango), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I dropped my ipod the floor yesterday and it's been fucked since, so this is all good timing.

the movies are overpriced, I think, if they're streaming, but there's nothing to indicate they are from what I've read....as someone with a baby, though, who hardly gets to the theater now, I'd be happier if they were able to offer current releases this way.

Your library contains everything you’ve bought from the iTunes Store or imported from CD. Music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, audiobooks, iPod Games, and streaming radio. As your collection grows, you can keep multiple libraries — even store them across more than one hard drive.

Nice to see this made simple

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 19:41 (seventeen years ago) link

that new shuffle is incredible.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 20:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Holy shit, that Shuffle!!!!!

apple store won't be getting HD streamed content for movies, and almost certainly not downloadable HD either. the bandwidth demand is enormous. but for whatever you rip or steal or Tivo onto your mac from an HD source, it will be balls to pump it over to a real screen.

― don weiner (don weiner), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 20:57 (seventeen years ago) link

even store them across more than one hard drive.

thank god, finally.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I've been doing it forever.

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link

now if only you could tell the library to "watch" a certain folder and import the contents on a regular basis. or barring that, let multiple users on one machine share a library (this is for windows, maybe the mac version does do this, I haven't tried)

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 21:24 (seventeen years ago) link

getting video over to your tv wirelessly is the last piece of the puzzle, really. the rest is bandwidth, pricing and DRM. and yeah, that shuffle! i'd be afraid to lose it. i've always been afraid to lose ipods, it's a big reason why i've never bought one. make it bigger dammit!

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 22:04 (seventeen years ago) link

UWB or WiMax will do it when they appear the IEEE really needs to pull its finger out when setting standards. Stomp on the vested interests, make it work, with the best technology available, don't make us wait for the political wrangling.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I see Jobs is finally embracing the role of Emperor.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyway, not entirely sure about the new iTunes design but whatever. I presume the blue note is someone's in-joke.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 22:15 (seventeen years ago) link

is the gapless playback only available via brand new ipods or a software thing?

― zappi (joni), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 22:20 (seventeen years ago) link

the blue note is horrid - can you change that?

zappi, i assume it's a software thing 'cos my itunes is currently scanning all my files for "gapless playback information".

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 22:26 (seventeen years ago) link

you can change the blue note -- it's teh same as itunes 2.0 (dere christ I've outsadded myself).

Apparently there's a firmware update that gives older video iPods the gapless playback and the games.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 22:45 (seventeen years ago) link

80GB iPod! finally.

― fortunate hazel (f. hazel), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 23:04 (seventeen years ago) link

can't hide the store so many playlists off page f

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 23:11 (seventeen years ago) link

This is indeed great timing. I was planning on buying an iPod today and then found this thread. Good news.

― Ivan G (Ivan), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 23:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Whoa I guess Apple bought CoverFlow! I guess that's why the guy/gal hasn't updated his app in awhile. Useless to me since I don't use iTunes but it was/is a beautiful little program.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 23:52 (seventeen years ago) link

PINK IPODS! (I'm a bit excited. yay!!!)

― lyra (lyra), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 00:00 (seventeen years ago) link

wait, i dl'd itunes 7 and i don't see how i can split my music across two drives at all!

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 00:08 (seventeen years ago) link

you could always split your music across two drives - not sure if the method has change w/the update, although my split across two drive collection is behaving the same as before.

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 00:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't see any new way to do it either. Jon, how are you doing it?

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 00:19 (seventeen years ago) link

is you talking to me? on a mac?

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 00:22 (seventeen years ago) link

ye to both

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 00:23 (seventeen years ago) link

oh .. apple's new way to do it is to hold down option/alt when loading it, and it allows to choose libraries. I thought this would let you have one library split across a local volume and a network volume. it don't.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 00:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Cog + Finder, people

for commuting, you can tape your playlists to cassette

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 00:32 (seventeen years ago) link

preferences > advanced > general > change itunes music folder location

any new songs you ad will be in the new location and the old ones will still be in the old place

depending on yr settings it may ask you if you want to copy the songs from the old place to the new one - say no

-------------------------------------

if you want to move some of the songs that are already in your library to a new folder - easiest to trash your library file found here: music > itunes

then start over addinghalf then changing the itunes music folder in the preferences (as described above)

if you're worried about loosing playlists you can export them in xml file > export

-------------------------------------

if you really dont want to trash your library file - you can change the itunes folder location in the preferences then do file > at to library > select the music you want to move (from your original itunes folder) then delete them from the original location when it's done copying
