Category Archives: itunesOne of the things I have oh-so appreciated as of late is the Nokia Multimedia Transfer application. It has made syncing music and media from my Mac to my Nokia Nseries and Eseries devices a good experience. It’s not nearly as fast as my iPod Shuffle, but at least it makes it just about as […]
This picture from CrunchGear says it all:
Effective immediately. Looks like Apple got some serious money from the early adopters. For the same price, you can also get a 16gb iPod Touch, which is basically an iPhone sans phone functionality. The iPod touch isn’t available just yet, though.
A lot more was announced by Apple today as […]
The Symbian Guru reviewed nuTsie earlier today. I have to agree, it’s a pretty cool idea for an app. The idea of streaming music to my mobile phone is something I’ve wanted since I purchased a locker on MP3Tunes. However, I have some serious issues with it–serious enough that I would much rather sync my […]
Today, my iPod Shuffle that I won in a contest arrived. It’s a second generation Shuffle, so it’s tiny, particularly when you compare it to, say, a Nokia phone. When I finally got to a point in my day where I could open it, I had only a few minutes before I had to leave. […]
I got word yesterday I had won an iPod Shuffle. Given that I carry a number of Nokia phones that can effectively serve as music and video players, I wasn’t in any hurry to actually buy an iPod. However, I certainly can’t turn down a free one. Not sure when it will show, but I’m […]
While I haven’t tried this program yet, this program called iTuneMyWalkman looks like it might be just the ticket. After configuring iTuneMyWalkman, which it looks like it needs for a Nokia device, plug in your Nokia device (in USB Storage mode), and it automatically syncs for you. Also supports downsampling MP3s to save space on […]
This is a somewhat older post by Ted Wallingford about how “us nerds” need to realize that to a large company like Apple, it’s the mainstream that matters. And while I agree with that, I think there’s a point being missed here. What Apple is doing, by offering un-DRMed songs for $1.30 a song, is […]
Michael Robertson has an interesting proposition with his new music store called AnywhereCD: buy unprotected MP3s (at 192k/s or higher) and, for a couple of bucks more, get the physical CD as well. I’m not sure how many of the artists they sell are not EMI artists, but hey, it’s a start. Note that you […]
I’m sure everyone else is covering this, but Apple has announced today that they will be selling higher-quality (256k AAC versus 128k AAC) DRM-free music from the EMI back catalog for $1.29 a track. You’ll also be able to upgrade your existing purchases for essentially the price difference–$0.30 a song. Both versions of songs will […]
As I’m going through my music collection in iTunes–all of which I’ve ripped from my own CD collection, thank you very much–I am finding some tracks did not rip very well. I know that mp3 adds some artifacts to music. I’m not talking about that. Some tracks have pops or just don’t rip at all. […]
Golden Boy Michael Roberston is shaking the world up again by offering free, unlimited music lockers. It turns out he’s been doing this for at least the past month or so, what we like to call a “soft launch,” but today was the announcement that this was going live.
Now, of course, there are some catches:
When […]
I was wondering when Golden Boy Michael Robertson was going to weigh in on the Steve Jobs “Drop DRM” article. And weigh in he did. Here are the key points he makes:
The 30% of the iTunes catalog that doesn’t come from the big-4 music companies? Sell them without DRM. Yeah, that’s a good idea. Do […]
I have to admit, I hadn’t been using iTunes all that much until recently. Now that I have some hard drive space, I can rip a few more songs and not worry that I will run out of disk space. And also, since Democracy Player is being problematic, I’m starting to use iTunes for all […]
