lol @ BLD.

Re: Apple + Underworld
 

its like seeing his posts may mean that you're in some sort of fever dream... did it happen? was i there? did i merely imagine someone being a dick just now? whooooo knooows

he was sorta right tho, as far as music players go there isnt much to complain about itunes for. tho i dont get how someone wouldn't know how to use it. guys it's pretty basic: source folder, play music, make playlists, repeat. maybe you can go bananas and make SMART playlists, maybe you can ask genius to hold your hand if youre feeling boring.
point is, if it plays what i have, what the hell is there to complain about?

Re: Apple + Underworld
 

saying there's not much to complain about it is different from saying there's nothing out there that does the same things as well or better than iTunes though.
But then you don't get Winamp on mac ;)

Re: Apple + Underworld
 

awaiting the typical mac user response. "Its just fine for me. I never wanted to do that anyway"

yeah. . thats exactly the problem (might be overlooked if it werent such a resource hog)

#1 gripe - interaction with audio metadata sucks with ITunes:

why do I have to open another window to edit an artist name/track number/album title? I should be able to click and hold mouse over track title and the track should go into edit mode!

Re: Apple + Underworld
 

listen, i'm strongly against the mac/pc debacle in general. i think both machines are differently paved avenues leading to the same end, and i can move between both with ease.
but click twice on the song (not double click) and you can edit the title that way too. so BLD still has/had a point.
i have winamp on my pc, it's okay. i end up doing anything i care to in either one.

Re: Apple + Underworld
 

So is the back catalogue released on Friday too or tomorrow?

Re: Apple + Underworld
 

on a Mac, in iTunes, you can easily edit track titles, etc by clicking it once (to highlight it) then a single click again

and if you press 'ctrl' while clicking you have more options


as far as UW's catalogue being available on iTunes...

I think AT LEAST they should be able to put everything back that was there before (all albums, Crocodile EP, and the Beaucoup Fish singles) ....AND...

all of the tracks that were available on iTunes in different territories (JAL to Tokyo EP, those two remixes of Beautiful Burnout [rick's mix & the mark knight dub])

...now it'd be nice if they had the old singles, promo releases (like Rick's Bungalow version of KOS) and remixes of other artists, but I'm not holding my breath

Re: Apple + Underworld
 

I think its so strange how there are no release dates for any of the iTunes stuff (or am I missing something)...

Or will everything be released on the 7th?

Re: Apple + Underworld
 

There's a bit more info on the broadcast page now, and a new test movie.

Unfortunately, all it really did for me was prove to me that 3g speeds around here are rubbish, so watching a live gig on my phone is still a way off being practical.

At least it'll just work in regular quicktime, so I can still watch it on my pc.

Re: Apple + Underworld
 

WOW...


there are actually FEWER releases on iTunes now than there was about a year ago...

now - yes, I did have everything on there before

but I mean... come on!

there used to be the BF & AHDO singles
I wanna say even stuff from earlier periods as well

now - there's just the main albums and a condensed version of the digital release of Crocodile

(edit)
the only "new" thing on iTunes is the "Alligator Version" of the Crocodile video
which - if memory serves me... wasn't available to download (on iTunes) before UW's catalogue was removed

this really just seems to be a bad marketing gimmick
like... "hey guys, we can make a buzz around you by removing you're catalogue from the music store... then just before you do a short primarily West-Coast-Only... we'll make the SAME stuff available again. But get this... we'll make it seem like it's a HUGE deal!"

(edit 2)
I seriously want an answer NOW as to why the JAL EP isn't available in the US
