Apple Event Set for Sept. 9th


Recommended Posts

I just don't see why when there's no harm in it. It's just a one time thing.

Oh, I agree, I have one. Just saying, I suppose I can understand why someone might not like being forced to do whatever, just to use a feature added to software required for the device they paid for.

:rolleyes: Which iBook?

iBook G4 bought in Nov 2004 (it ran Panther at that time) - do you want a photo of your post on it's screen and my iPhone's browser? :rolleyes:

Verify it here and here all you want.

This will be my last post on this (off)topic.

Is there a way to remove the store links in vista?

Not yet. There are in Mac OSX (naturally). I've been trying to decrypt iTunes' Pref files to find a solution... no such luck. What may end up needing to happen is, somebody will have to 'hack' iTunes' executable and DLL files, and re-add the menus to the options.

EDIT: Found a solution to this (a guy posted it on the iTunes discussion boards). :)

1. Close iTunes and then go to Start, then Run and copy and paste the following in %APPDATA%\Apple Computer\iTunes and load the file iTunesPrefs.xml in Notepad++

2. Inside this file, look for <key>User Preferences</key> and below it copy and paste the following exactly as so...

	&lt;key&gt;User Preferences&lt;/key&gt;
	&lt;dict&gt;
		&lt;key&gt;show-genre-when-browsing&lt;/key&gt;
		&lt;data&gt;
		AA==
		&lt;/data&gt;
		&lt;key&gt;show-store-arrow-links&lt;/key&gt;
		&lt;data&gt;
		AA==
		&lt;/data&gt;

3. Save and start iTunes back up and the annoyances should be gone forever! :) Might be a good idea to back up the iTunesPrefs.xml file before doing this of course! =)

Edited by Michael King
And to remove genre use this

defaults write com.apple.itunes show-genre-when-browsing  -bool FALSE

Thanks a lot man, I was starting to call myself crazy because I could not find this option anywhere.

It's stupid, in the preferences panel, in General, it says Display with a lot of checkboxes, there's one missing and it's Genres, obviously. And it's not like they didn't have the place for it... right below Ringtones would have been awesome. The thing is, these options are all on the left menu, Show/Hide Genres doesn't really belong to this section but still.

Lets Rock

All the main rumours were correct. The Apple Ninjas WILL assassinate Kevin Rose before the next Stevenote.

iPod nano 4G

This will teach you all not to say "OMFG APPLE WOULDNT DO THAT THATS NOT APPLE LIEK!!111!". The new nano is sleek and I love the colours. Better than the pastel ones. The accelerometer was unexpected but a great addition none the less.

iPod touch 2G

**** Yeah! It has a speaker! Should have been on the first iPod touch. I'm surprised they chose to give it a chrome bezel.

iTunes 8

Grid view is nice. But WHY are there blue scrollbars in the dark sections?!?! Genius is pretty good. I can see it depleting my wallet soon enough. I do like how Apple got lazy and didn't change the icon (It still says iTunes 7 on the CD in the 512px version).

iPhone OS 2.1

Thank **** they staggered the release of the 2 firmwares. The 2.0 release was ridiculous. Apparently it makes backups snappy. Can't wait to install it. It also finally lists the amount of space apps take up. I always wondered why they didn't do that from the start.

iTunes Store

HD TV Shows is nice and LOL NBC came crawling back.

Wow, Genius actually works well :woot: I'm quite surprised.

Very first use:

<snipped>

The sidebar is nice, but I'm used to using Last.fm so I'll probably stick to that.

You say it works well, but I've yet to find a link between 30STM and The Kooks and Tenacious D. I guess it's early days, though. Can't shout them down too much about a service that's been live for less than a day.

Other than that, it's a very nice update.

Exactly, I was expecting it to be rather crap after a mere 24 hours. And I don't really see it as being a question of whether or not the artists sound the same, more of whether or not the playlist is good. As a playlist, I don't think it's that bad.

Genius is no use if you tag your music the way you preferred instead of what iTunes can recognize. Though great concept. Just wish it works with my music.

How do you do it differently to iTunes?

How do you do it differently to iTunes?

Many times before, in order for me to get album art for certain soundtracks, I'll have to rename the album to "XXX (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)". Where as I just leave out the (XXX). I don't believe I'm the only one who names their artists/tracks/albums different than what iTunes can recognize. Therefore Genius won't work for me unless I subdue to what iTunes want. Which would take me years to re-tag my music collection.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
