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.

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.

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

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.

even store them across more than one hard drive.

thank god, finally.

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.

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

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 00:34 (seventeen years ago) link

actually the third method might be easier than the second if you do it by alphabetical order

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 00:40 (seventeen years ago) link

That's really useful! Thanks

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 00:51 (seventeen years ago) link

oh i thought this stuff would be more "automated" w/the new version... as in, you can set two default volumes and then chose where you want to import to, or something like that. oh well.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 01:35 (seventeen years ago) link

i just only before boughted new ipod. :-(. downside: out $50. upside: ipod software update gives me new features of new ones except for screen + battery life which i could care less about.

also, downside: new itunes graphite interface looks more like nextstep than ever. DAEREST APPLE GET ONE (1) AND ONLY ONE USER INTERFACE. AND NOT HTIS HUGLY ONE. This is worse than mail.app -- which i bet will be following suit (or maybe not, apple's gotten so bad at the uniformity thing).

also, downside: how do i shot old browser window instead of new pretty but useless coverflow?

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 01:59 (seventeen years ago) link

apple B for browser window.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 02:04 (seventeen years ago) link

is it my imagination or is this new version using ALOT more RAM even without fancy (rubbish) coverflow?

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 02:05 (seventeen years ago) link

why can it not properly dl cover arts?
sometimes you say 'get album art' and it tries and fails, then you do it again and it finds it. other times, it doesn't find it at all. what use is my album art browsing if it's a bunch of squares with eighth notes in them!??!?

― fellini-esque-lit-rockist (tehresa), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 02:09 (seventeen years ago) link

on a couple of mine the cover art is blank and it says "COVER ART CANNOT BE ALTERED" or something - not 'not found' or left as it was in the first place, but locked into a blank cover.

iTunes 7 is fugly, too. Also louder, I think (though it didn't change any of my settings) and slower. Why must Apple 'improvements' always suck?

― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 02:11 (seventeen years ago) link

yep, this is noticeably less reponsive than the last version.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 02:13 (seventeen years ago) link

hopefully they'll be a tweak soon

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 02:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Just buy a new Mac.

Still no way of dealing with smart playlist rules lists longer than the height of the screen.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 05:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Just buy a cinema display

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 07:46 (seventeen years ago) link

One of the rule sets is longer even than my 23" cinema display at work (is there any way of going into portrait mode?)

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 07:48 (seventeen years ago) link

itunes does use a lot more memory, it uses about 100mb on my machine and i've only got 512 to start with

this is jobs' way of making me buy more ram isn't it? Cunty McCunt
