The Ideal iTunes Browser, originally uploaded by Subtonic12.
Firstly, don’t make fun of my music tastes.
Secondly, I think this is the ideal iTunes Browser view.
I basically live in iTunes DJ, and I still love listening to whole albums. Grid view is my favorite view in iTunes because I can see more albums all at once.
The problem [...]
Billboard reports that Apple is not happy with labels working with Amazon to promote new releases.
In exchange for a Daily Deal promotion on a new album, Amazon has been asking labels to provide it with a one-day exclusive before street date and such digital marketing support as a banner ad on an artist’s [...]
This is such an obvious smart playlist that I’m upset I didn’t think of it sooner.
Do you think iTunes on OSX is bloated? Some developers do, so they’ve created lightweight alternatives.
Ecoute is a standalone application that reads your iTunes library file and displays the library in a smaller window. It’s kind of like having an iPod for your Mac.
Everplay does the same thing, but in a different way.
Both Ecoute and [...]
Sometimes iTunes crashes. Sometimes something else crashes and forces you to restart your Mac with iTunes running. Usually it’s no big deal. It happens.
But sometimes when that happens and you restart iTunes after your Mac boots you get this window:
The scariest window ever.
Because here’s what it means. Something REALLY FUCKING BAD just happened to your [...]
Holy crap. You ever notice how many places you can grab music from these days? Almost too many.
iTunes Amazon Amie Street Lala.com eMusic
And more.
So now when I want to buy something new there are five sources to check. Why not just get everything through iTunes? Because other places might have it cheaper. Not a few cents cheaper, but dollars.
The [...]
I think Apple should pay me, but I’ve been sending in suggestions for free anyway – so why bother paying me?
Wouldn’t it be great if we could automatically get Genius recommendations? Apple should consider using all this data it’s collecting for iTunes Genius to serve a custom podcast of new and recommended music. Genius is nice, but [...]
With my criticism about iTunes Genius it seems to make perfect sense, at least to me, that Apple should use the Music Genome project as the source for Genius playlists and recommendations.
Which may be odd, considering I’ve been down on Pandora before, but there’s a big difference here between Pandora and Last.fm. Pandora and iTunes [...]
This is what happens when I activate iTunes Genius on a Danny Elfman track (solo album Danny Elfman, not movie soundtrack Danny Elfman).
I got a lot of other music from movie soundtracks.
It appears that Genius doesn’t know much at all about the track you’re listening to. Instead it looks at the artist field and makes [...]
Genius mixes still have a bit to learn. This was what I got to represent the Comedy Genius Mix.
Weird Al Dane Cook Moxy Früvous Led Zeppelin
The idea is cool, but I wish I could pick my own Genius mixes. I’m not well served by having three different Rock mixes when I really want to listen to Ambient music. [...]
