I haven’t thought about mp3s in well over a decade but videos ya can certainly load onto Vision Pro. I don’t see music as a big use case of this device anyways
Got a tip for us?

This is what I pretty much feared/thought about where the AVP may find itself.
Stuck in a no-man's land between developers hedging their bets and lack of users.
Anyway, I hope it does find a way to keep going.
Good, but their MacOS app still doesn't support HDR/Dolby Vision formats for videos. Let's fix that first, Mr. Kempf, don't you think?
tvOS' build of VLC had a bug with SMB/CIFS shares and stored creds a bit ago that was stuck in a PR without a merged fix a while back, I got tired of it and shifted to infuse on both my AppleTVs and on my iOS devices, maybe some renewed focus on keeping it on other devices will help keep those bug fixes moving now
VLC's still my preferred media player on Macs (along with IINA), Windows, and Linux though

So another video player... Someone remind me again about the 'Pro' aspect of this device? More 'Vision Consumer' from all I've seen in use videos. If I want a few other screens to hold reference content I can move anywhere, surely an iPad could suffice? It can do AR on a larger than phone screen if needed.
Does the vision pro not just use the Mac or iOS app store?
Lol. What a freaking mess apple has become. Very fragmented and disjointed.
I guess they're still making record profits, but I can't see why.

Not new, AppleTV has its own store too, Apple's been doing one for every core platform
VLC 3.0.20 is a free downloaded for Mac from the VideoLAN website.
Beware fellow members from outside of Europe. It can be danger to download something from outside of Mac App Store. Full of bugs and viruses and no possible to collect core technology fee (50-cent) from VideoLAN to Apple Apple should banned it ASAP!!!

Guess they come for free (+ open source) since they distribute their products under GPL license (to be checked in case of Vision Pro). That could dangerously contaminate Apple greed for, er, consumer satisfaction.
I assume you’ll catch a bunch of hate from Apple faithful with this. But even Marquees said on his podcast this week his usage of the AVP has dropped below once a day. That’s not a good thing.
The library creation is the entire point behind Lightroom, and nothing prevents you from using a folder system with it.
Create and name a folder -> add photos -> in Lightroom create new library in that folder -> Import photos to that library and work on them.
Throughout, I treat the folders like normal Apple folders, including moving them around to archive/backup drives, etc. Because I already use individual folders for photo assignments (rather than keeping all my photos in one giant folder), Lightroom works pretty seamlessly with my workflow.
Some people have a single huge library for all their photos. Or they make a new library every year. Different people manage them different ways.
As for Apple Photos, I don't touch it.
I just never saw the benefit of Lightroom. I use adobe camera raw through photoshop and its the same thing as far as I can tell. I keep all my jobs in individual folders within finder or sometimes I work off an edit folder, a card or a desktop and then file my finished product.
The benefit, to me, is working on multiple photos at once. I only open photoshop when I have only one photo to work on, or when I'm dealing with layers. When I have several photos, Lightroom allows me to breeze through the work much faster without having to open, work, save and export each photo one at a time. Another benefit is that Lightroom is completely nondestructive. You never work on the actual RAW or jpg file and you don't have to create a copy or "save as" at the end. Lightroom only applies changes to the new images that it makes upon export.
both of those things are why I use Camera RAW editor in photoshop. i usually dump a folder of RAW files right into my photoshop icon and it opens them all up in the raw editor at once and i work on a big batch of edits at once and sync the edits if applicable. Then I export them all to whatever format i want and it saves the data file into the folder with the raw
That’s a dangerous position to take. Whilst I don’t mind paying for Apple Music I do still want the option to rip CDs, hoard my own media and not be perpetually renting it.
It just beggars belief that a device this expensive running a port of iOS doesn’t have such basic functionality.
I have VLC and I use it to play RealPlayer (.rm and .ram) and .wmv files that the built in players don’t like.
It even plays .mov files that the built in player doesn’t recognize as QuickTime.
I’d use it the same way on AVP.
If it could also play 360 and 180 videos and stills in both 3D and 2D versions, that would be even better. Though I’d prefer if the built in players did that.
Most haters are those who are dying to get it but can't afford it.
Those who can afford it but don't want to get it yet don't say much.
So did I 20+ years ago but Those formats are so beyond obsolete at this point I can’t imaging any content you have in them would be viable content for watching on Apple Vision Pro without being a blurry mess. Moonplayer already plays 360 and 180 3d videos On Vision Pro.
