Did anyone else buy a new song? It seemed to me that when I picked up the new Bare Naked Ladies album it downloaded a lot faster and multiple songs at a time now.
nice erase those gapszach said:
but i'm sure apple is only being nice cause they want our money
But you know the more you try to erase it.... the more
the more... the more you can.
Love that album. And it just looks so great when scrolling through.... too bad its almost dead last.
Once you Authorize your iTunes, log in to iTunes Music Store, you can upload music from your iPod onto that computer or any computer signed into that account. Nifty, no? It could be done for years with 3rd party, but this is slicker.....macca said:
just like apple... slick version of a software ... 3 yrs later
Steve wears a collared shirt
The big news today as far as I can tell is that Steve went with a collared shirt instead of a mock neck; continues to shun belts.
I can't get excited about iPods. A 12" screened device that can play movies, CDs, DVDs, and run office software - yes, an ultraportable laptop would be useful.

Is there going to be another iPod updater that will incorporate the features like the searching and fast scrolling letter label thing onto current 5G iPods? I hope so, that searching has been a feature calling from me for ages...
The iTunes Phone Driver is for current Motorola phones not for the iPhone, you can read about it in the software update when it's installed, it was in the Software Updates as of a week ago.

That SUCKS.
That sucks. On the otherhand, when Apple sends my Walmart the new batch I can plop one in layway.

Yes! There is now a downloads manager. When you were downloading, a link appeared in the left bar labeled "Downloads" or something like that. I clicked on it, and there were several downloads happening at once in there, not one at a time as previously.
The one negative effect: you don't necessarily get Track 1 first, then 2, etc, as you would before. So, on a slow connection, you can't just wait for the first song to download then start playing to listen to the whole album ...
Off-topic: did you notice they messed up the Are Me track numbers? Just "15" and "16" on the second disk (the bonus tracks) listed "of 27" instead of 14 (like the rest of the songs) or 16 (the actual number of tracks on the "disk").

This transfers music that you purchase on one computer to another computer. In order for it to work, you must have an iPod which has sync'd with a computer with bought songs, and attach it to a second computer which is authorized to play those songs.
My question is this: the keynote treated this like a true 'sync', but it sure doesn't look that way. Does it do more than a 1-way copy? And, does it only (as the menu item suggests) work on iTMS purchased tracks, not ripped CDs?
This feature really sounded nice to me, letting me get rid of the nice but sometime buggy Senuti. But, maybe not.
gapless works on iTunes
I just confirmed with my Beethoven Symphony 5 3rd to 4th movement gapless playback works. I had already ripped my CD as Apple lossless. I did not have to rerip it. The first time iTunes ran, it analyzed my music for gapless playback. Great!!

Yeah, plus 4x the resolution on all videos.lwood said:
They probably installed those new Intel Xservers.... I heard they are 16x as fast...

Likewise, that shuffle is seriously slick, and the price is right. Built in clip, bye bye iPod shuffle sport case.
for some reason i still cant watch the keynote!
when i try to open it it says that it is unavailible due to high demand.
and the new itunes seemes buggy, i've had it crash 5 times (yes, on a mac.)

Does anybody think that....
We will see something similar to what happened last Fall? - Apple holding an event in september, then a couple weeks later another invite goes out saying "One More Thing..." like last year. and that event will be mid october or something?
Or are we done for the year?

Yes, I got myself 2 new songs just after upgrading iTunes (getting the total up to 10Trekkie said:
), but I thought the download was very slow... I presumed this was because of high load after the announcement/upgrade......but they did seem to download simultaneously...
When you have songs that merge into each other, e.g., a live CD, or lots of dancey CDs or classical CDs, when playing the songs there is no gap between tracks.chuckles:) said:
This wasn't as simple a solution as you might think, because the encoding of the music (AAC or MP3) encodes into blocks of data of a certain size, so if your song finishes half way through a block, the rest would be empty. I imagine that the reason iTunes has to go through all of the songs to deal with gapless playback is so that it can find the actual end of the song so it can start the next song seamlessly behind it.
Yeah, Steve did only say 802.11 which strikes me as odd, but why would they use n in the set top box, when all of the current Macs have g? I don't see Apple telling everyone who just bought a new Mac "too bad"
Unless recent Macs have 802.11n which just needs a firmware update to unlock it.

On CDs (or any other physical recording) sometimes artists have one song run right into another - you know it's changed because you're familiar with it or you happen to look up at the CD track counter and see it go from 3 to 4 but the music hasn't stopped. Digital tracks had a bad side effect of putting a break between tracks. Gapless apparently knows when the original recording intended no gap and then replicates that on the iPod / iTunes replay. This breakthrough also available on cassette tape.
